They'll come out now. The scream of the free living draws the brain-dead anti-Paul zombies to us...
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

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.

Dr. Paul is a conservative libertarian.
Gov. Palin is a libertarian conservative.
Rep. Bachmann combines the best of both.
Hope that clears things up.
Amen! The rabid stupidity of some of the anti-Paul posts is stunning! Liberty can only exist in the absence of a powerful state.
I guess all candidates better seek your approval before accepting money from anyone in case someone else’s view offend you.
$500? Sheesh.
That is only an excuse to not support Ron Paul.
What is your real reason?
They'll come out now. The scream of the free living draws the brain-dead anti-Paul zombies to us...
Hmmm...is that picture from a McCain/Mitt/Rudy rally?
Generic followers led by instinct, I can't tell the specific genus.
The constitution authorizes only Congress the power of printing money. Kind of settles it for me.
If the Fed was such a great idea, why was it passed after midnight on the last session before a Christmas recess?
Rahm, your limo is here.
I agree, but I don't think it matters. He has to understand how (un)happy his supporters were with how he campaigned last time. If he actually campaigned and got the message out, that would be a Good Thing. Anything that pushes the campaign away from RINOs like McCain, Romney, Giuliani ... is good.
Secretary of Treasury under a President Palin would be a good combination.
Outstanding simile. Of course, it won't stop the illiterate anti-Paulite brigade. Hate is their fuel, stupid is their engine.
Besides that, at least if congress screws up we can technically vote them out. We are powerless against the unelected, privately controlled federal reserve.
I agree with about 90% of Paul’s positions. I disagree with him on foreign policy, severely.
I think far too much of Sarah Palin to see her associated with the Galveston treason weasel. Likewise Michelle Bachmann. This really is not nuclear physics. We are at war. The Galveston birdbrain cannot even muster the manhood to vote to criticize Iran's brutal suppression of Iranians much less their march to nuclear weapons capability. He is actually proud to be the only dissenter. Did Michelle Bachmann join his latest defection from Western Civilization??? Of course not! Did Sarah Palin raise her voice to lionize paleoPaulie as a hero? Hell, no!
Ergo, stop smearing conservative heroines as though they were somehow associated with the cornucopia of mental illnesses afflicting paleoPaulie.
PaleoPaulie should be sent permanently in a straitjacket to Happy Delusions Rest Home along with his supporters.
Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann should continue their careers and hopefully lead the way out of the current disaster of Comrade O.
Secretary of Treasury for Osama bin Laden is more like it.
Pauls thing with the Fed is loony; the article nailed it:
|
"...eliminating the Fed would be tantamount to handing over the keys of our financial system to the European Union, China or any foreign economic power with a strong central bank." |
Ordinarily I prefer to eschew name calling, but your offerings seem appropriate and useful exceptions to my rule.

$500? Sheesh.

He knew that the $500 had come from Stormfront, and he knowingly and willfully refused to return it. I held him to the same standard to which I held Barry the Cokehead and Hillary Clinton when they appeared at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (the Black version of the KKK and Stormfront).
yes- Supreme Court for certain - next opening AFTER she is press secretary and scares the bejeebers out of the washington ‘press corp’
Thank you and God bless you and yours.
But you see, that reasoning is screwed up and he addressed it. Why should he give the $500 back so that they can spend it promoting their racist agenda? No, take the money and put it to good use promoting liberty.
Keeping the money is nothing like going to a racist event, as you used in your example. Going to such an event is endorsing the viewpoint. Somebody GIVING you money is not.
What does one get by giving the money back? Nothing. It is just grandstanding.
