But that's not happening; he can't help himself, he really believes this.
It is more than a facet of his political character that hurts him; it completely negates anything useful he could give to his country, for this weakness, if he ever got into power, would be the death of us all.
To that end, he'll never, ever be a formidable candidate.
Ron Paul is 74 years old. He’s older than McCain. Paul could be retiring from Congress in the next 4 years. The question is who will be left to pick up the REVolution?
Spoken like a true globalist! For that, I salute you!
Sadly, that 'weakness' has already been elected (three years to go) and puts everyone in danger. See, without a clear 'leader', the world's nations will act like punks on the playground- those who bully the most will reap the most.
After his Azholian Address to the UN, we're now no better than any other nation, which means: we'll not be there to punch some puke-face dictator in the mouth should the need arise. This comes directly from Chicago's streets where 'community' is the end, and the 'leaderless' collective strives toward that end using presuasion and collective pressure (think peer pressure) to acheive it.
Well, guess what? Ain't no dictator in the world that's gonna listen to 'street boy' lecture them when he hasn't the balls to stop them, is there?
The difference between Paul and Obama is that Paul thinks you can ignore them, whereas Obama thinks you can browbeat them into conformity and community. Both are wrong.
This world's nutcases need a parental figure to smack them down when they go off half-cocked.
The first day we learned Iran was building enrichment facilities, we should have flattened them. The second day we learned of another facility, we should have flattened that too. The key is to know you 'are' the leader and to act as such. That's why the next few years will be dangerous: on this, teleprompter boy is clueless.
It would be great if we could take the economic side of Ron Paul and mate it to a rational foreign policy but alas! that sort of repackaging is not to be.
