The dems have Dennis Kucinich and we have Ron Paul. How does one shed oneself of an albatross?

Ron Paul always brings back fond memories of that one particular summer of my youth when I had a boil on my butt that wouldn’t go away

"He commands far more attention—from the media and from his opponents—than his low standing in the polls seems to warrant,"

Simple. It's his 'out of Iraq' stance that gathers the pro-Iraq war folks from all corners. Anyone who has this opinion is to be utterly destroyed continually in the media, low standing notwithstanding. This is intended to keep any other candidate from thinking along these lines. 70% of voters have to be reeducated.

Dr. Paul, on the other hand, preaches a unique gospel of Constitution-based conservatism—and it’s getting him noticed.
It's so easy for hypocrits to "get noticed" in America. The press ALWAYS give hypocrits a free pass, even those on the Republican side (at least in this case).

Question for Mr. Paul: How about earmarks? How do they stand up to your sacred test of Constitutionality? And are you ashamed of all the earmarks you've bestowed on your district... or is it only OTHER PEOPLE'S lack of adherence to the Constitution that get your goat?

It is a cinch that Ron Paul will be reelected in Texas - Look at his Pork shopping list - Federal money for the Texas wild Shrimp industry and more.

2. $8 million for the marketing of wild American shrimp.

6. $200,000 for the Matagorda Episcopal Health Outreach Program to fund a “National Health Service Corp Scholar.”
7. $4.5 million to study the effects of the health risks of vanadium.
8. $3 million to test imported shrimp for antibiotics. (Does anyone think there is a big shrimp industry in Paul’s district?)
9. $10 million to repair the Galveston railways causeway bridge.
10. $1.18 million for “Personalized Medicine in Asthma”
11. $100,000 for a “data-driven automated system for nursing students on the Texas Gulf Coast.”
12. $257,000 to “prepare graduates from the doctoral program at the University of Texas Medical Branch School of Nursing to assume faculty roles in schools for nursing with a deficient number of doctoral level faculty.”

Harry Brown, the Libertarian candidate, generated much excitement back in 1996.

What did he get - maybe 1% of the vote.

The trouble with the Libertarian Praty is that it invites numerous ripe nuts into the party to swell its tiny numbers. Wander over to the Lew Rockwell site if you need to count.

The Libertarian CATO Institute has a number of grounded thinkers that conservatives would do well to read.

God knows we have too many fascist FReepers on the private property posts around here.
