Is libertarian rock star and Texas Republican Ron Paul going mainstream?
He’s got everyone from South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint to Minnesota moderate Democrat Collin Peterson to California liberal Barbara Boxer on his side in his audit-the-Fed crusade. He’s drawing liberal support in his push to rein in the cost of the war in Afghanistan. Senate candidates like Democratic Rep. Paul Hodes of New Hampshire are finding Dr. No’s populist economic anger to be useful in the campaign, echoing Paul’s criticism of the Federal Reserve.
“This brought people together [from] the whole political spectrum, from progressives and liberals and libertarians and conservatives. ... they all came together. That, to me, is what is really so important,” said Paul, who has been introducing his audit-the-Fed measure since the early ’80s.

Welcome to FR! Now, you probably ought to put on your flame-resistant suit since you’re going to need it.
Good for Ron Paul, and us...He knew years ago what some are just now finding out, and what others are finally admitting...
What is the difference between Ron Paul’s foreign policy and that of your average liberal Democrat?
Well, that's might effective leadership right there, ain't it?

RP in 2012!
Paul is a KOOK, you need a better Spokesman.
Ron Paul’s name appears ANYWHERE in the title or ARTICLE... you’ll turn off MANY if not MOST FREEPERS. (except for the Closet Paulistinians)
no matter how important it may SEEM.. it gets sent to my trashbin (Recycle Bin).. unread past the point R PAUL (Kook, Texas) name is Mentioned.
/flame off
And then there's Barney Frank...
Even Frank, who voted against the amendment, went out of his way during committee debate to associate himself with Paul’s effort. And a YouTube video of Frank’s remarks was quickly posted by a top pro-Paul website.He disgusts me in so many ways.
“I do want to claim credit as chairman of the committee for being the first one in 26 years who gave the gentleman from Texas the chance to [offer] this legislation,” said Frank, an expert at reading the political winds.
Considering stinking B.O. is supposed to be the leftest of the left and he’s still wanting to continue the status quo of policing in Afghanistan. He’s actually contrary to both Dems and Repubs.

A “KOOK” who is bright and right.
You proved my point. His foreign policy is an abomination and poses a threat to the world.
Way ahead of the pack
