It's Ron Paul's world, we can only read about it
WSJ ^ | Oct. 6, 2009 | David Weidner

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Ron Paul has America hungry.

The former presidential candidate and 11-term Republican congressman from Galveston, Texas, seems to be doing what few have succeeded at: rallying support for radical change in Washington, on Wall Street and in the world.

Paul, who rattled the Republican base with a strong showing in several primaries and caucuses last year, is upping the ante. He has a new and timely book, "End the Fed," and has been making a big media tour, including a stop on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last Tuesday.

"It's hard to enforce the laws when the government participates in fraud," Paul told Stewart.

It's hard not to get excited or encouraged about the way Paul gets people fired up about politics. It's not just the politics, though, it's the kind of politics Paul is talking about: strict lawmaking derived from the constitution, ending trade agreements and national monetary policy.

Anyone would be challenged to get young Americans to care about matters so complex and dull, but Paul does it in the same way Stewart sells world affairs to college stoners: he makes it entertaining -- and he offers hope things can change.

I hope he aligns with Sarah Palin and DOES NOT TRY TO RUN AGAINST HER!

Hm on her team would be brilliant.

He MUST KNOW he is not electable, and she has star quality- but needs people like him behind her.

Ann Coulter for Press Secretary too.

At this point, any direction away from an ever increasing federal government is welcomed by me. I can't stomach RINOs and GOP elites any longer.

God bless Ron Paul, the only congressman striking at the *true* root of tyranny.

And all you rabid anti-Paul nutcases can pucker up and approach my behind with reverence.

Ron Paul’s campaign accepted $500 from the Stormfront White Nationalist Community . There are no circumstances under which I would vote for Ron Paul for anything, just as I would not vote for anybody like Obama who appeared with Al Sharpton and sought his endorsement. Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright are simply Black versions of Stormfront and the KKK.

I agree with Ron Paul on the audit but he is going to give congress control of the money. He must be the first guy over 25 years old that Barny Frank has salivitated over.

Ahem. Coulter is a Constituttional Lawyer, I can think of several better positions for her. Attorney General, for one. Justice of the Supreme Court for another.

I see Sarah Palin as the heart of the GOP, while Dr. Paul is the brain.

Smarty-pants Michele Bachmann will take over for Ron when he retires.

He has trained her well in using The Force.

Ron Paul’s campaign accepted $500 from the Stormfront White Nationalist Community . There are no circumstances under which I would vote for Ron Paul for anything, just as I would not vote for anybody like Obama who appeared with Al Sharpton and sought his endorsement. He took no money from Stormfront. His web site contribution site took $500 from someone named Don Black (no relation) who, it was later learned, was the founder of Stormfront. I believe the day he received this contribution the site raised more than $4 million, still a record.

In this interview he clearly states that he "does not want white supremecist support". As all major campaigns recieve both money from individuals who they don't agree with and would not agree to meet, socialize, worship or uplift. It's seriously myopic to claim that Ron Paul's actions are in any way equivilent of Obama's support for Wright, who he called "his spiritual mentor". If you find a clip of Ron Paul saying that Don Black, William Pierce, or David Duke is his "spiritual mentor" then you'll have a point.

Oh No! If something is a big deal on LGF, the biggest, most influential site since NewMajority, it must be troo and mportunt!!!1!

Hold on while I try to get my give-a-darn working. It doesn't respond to Charles Johnson talking points very well.

No good. I guess I'm stuck judging Dr Paul by his actions and his supporters' accomplishments.

Brevity is the soul of wit... You get an 'A'.

Precisely on target... You get an 'A'.

In before the knee-jerk haters... Another 'A'.

Funny... And another 'A'.

Dude, you got a home run in this thread!

Which he immediately used to push his agenda, not theirs.

There are no circumstances under which I would vote for Ron Paul for anything

So apparently you don't give a feces about free markets, gun rights, and a strong national defense that protects only our interests.

just as I would not vote for anybody like Obama who appeared with Al Sharpton and sought his endorsement.

Your criticism of Paul could have been lifted from an Al Sharpton speech by the way.

Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright are simply Black versions of Stormfront and the KKK.

But Paul has never been in bed with Stormfront or the KKK, so your comparison is both a non-sequitur and a strawman.

It’s the equivalent of a racist writing a check into a Salvation Army kettle. But facts don’t matter to the Paul bashers.

You certainly ARE a comedian. We should deport the Galveston treasonweasel to the Islamotyranny of his choice.

If Paul is the brain of the GOP, that explains a lot about last year's election, but we will get a new brain and overcome the legacy of the paleobirdbrain.

Something tells me that Michelle Bachmann favors AMERICAN interests over Islamofascism. That alone clearly distinguishes her from the Galveston treasonweasel, Baghdad Paulie.

It must be driving them nuts to see Dr Paul’s success with his second bestselling book, and extremely popular bill to audit the fed.

Some say he’s the most (or only) powerful Republican in Congress.
