When he isn’t calling people fascists for saying Merry Christmas, inciting his minions to disrupt other presidential campaigns or running around the country flirting with the idea that Bushco brought down the Twin Towers, the honorable Dr. Ron Paul is a congressman.
His army of anarchists, anti-war peaceniks and somewhat sane Libertarians like to say that he is a “different kind” of politician. Turns out he’s just another ordinary career politician, earmarking pork for people in his district. Before voting against it for appearance sakes, of course.
So much for a citizen legislature. 20 years and counting? Well, maybe not.
My first reaction to a story about Paul possible losing the congressional race was to laugh it off. But that was before the honorable one lost his last remaining marble. There are a lot of people in his district that say “Merry Christmas” without the slightest inkling that it is a secret code phrase for fascism.
And when these people start asking questions about that, they are going to find that Ron Paul is the only candidate being endorsed by racists and fascists. Perhaps, when they look, they will ask, is there anyone else running for CD-14’s seat?

Ron Paul is a loon.
He needs to go!
I just donated money to Chris Peden.
Hallelujah!
How much did you donate?
Oh c’mon, I’m not a Ron Paul supporter (at all), but this is a blog rant, not a news article, and the suggestion by its anonymous author that Paul thinks “Merry Christmas” is fascist is just ludicrous.
Why is it necessary to make such a foolish attack on someone who can’t be considered a serious contender?
And why do people repost blogs here? I come here for news and related discussion, not traffic promotion for blogs.
And yes, a couple of the people who operate that particular blog are active in Peden’s campaign.
$25
I’m from Illinois....got to save some money for my congressman too.
For those who dislike Ron Paul and want to get the bum out of the 14th congressional seat in Texas.....I can see others from neighboring states chipping in also.
I would like to encourage this.
There's a Conservative party? Cool. I hope they're more conservative than the Republicans are republican.
Paul has definitely met the Peter Principle.
Oh yeah, God Forbid, Americans actually pull together for maybe the second time in voting history, to support a candidate.
Heaven forbid we stop the split of Americans by party, and just support the continuation of a Free-Republican, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and voice of the American person (Rather a small voiced party)!
When parties vote, just remember it’s only a few voices voting for several! I don’t care who I have to stand with to get the Right Man in the President Seat - As Long as that President equally represents me and all the other Americans - what else matters?
We Need To Support Americans, Not Political Parties!!
We Need To Support Our Republic Nation, not the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR)!!
We Vote for any of the other favored and publicized Candidates we are inviting the CFR to run this country!
Folks, the CFR is not American, is not a Republic, shit it isn’t even a Democracy!
Wow, it didn’t take long for the CFR bogeyman to come out.. let me guess, you suggest the Stormfront candidate himself, Fraud Paul?
Whatever,
if you all want to let the CFR run this country, it will go on unnoticed, as it has for years now.
Ignorance is bliss, this is true, but even the Bible said the “pleasures of sin is just for a season!”
Y’all go ahead and vote for you socially conveniant, CFR controlled Candidate. Make just YOU happy, whatever you do, don’t support the American Way, Values and Constitution!
Whatever you do, Don’t support our rights to Liberated from the rest of this messed up world!! Don’t maintain our individual rights to liberty - we’ll just keep letting it get eaten up in the name of “Me”me”me”!
Ron Paul isn’t out for “numero uno”. Just remember, he has only Americans Backing him up!
Thank God one of the candidates is backed by the Heartland.
If you don’t believe that the CFR is supporting the other major runners - do some research. I found out by chance, so can you!
Bttttttt!
If a politician starts spouting about the CFR, that tells me he has sold his soul to conspiracy theories and/or he is pandering go those who walk in the fear conspiracy dejour.
I would suggest you read Foucault's Pendulum. The CFR is just the latest incarnation of an ancient literary element, the secret controller. Heck, for the past 100 years, it has been the UN, Bildbergers, Trilateral Commission, Masons... it keeps going and going.. the CFR is just the latest, and next year it will be a new bogeyman.
..and what has the Congressman accomplished in the ten terms he has held office?
But but he has the Heartland behind him — he can accomplish anything!!!
Political maturity. Let us know when you obtain it.
Thanks. I was just curious. I’ve followed Ron Paul for a couple of years in the house, and I have really enjoyed his positions on the Consitution. I think he is one of the few politicians that have even bothered to read it, and he at least attempts to follow it in his voting. He has relied on outside contributions in the past to fund his congressional campaigns. It looks like Chris is following that template. It will be interesting to see how successful it is for him.
Hunter isn't a CFR member either, and in addition to being less controversial to the base, he's stronger on social issues and foreign policy than Ron Paul.
Ron Paul will not be appreciated by the American Teachers Federation nor by National Education Association when he tries to abolish the Department of Education.
They are very protective about Department of Education and their turf.
I’m going to post
to all my teachers email boxes in the Chicago area.
I’ll tell them to pass it on to their associates and contribute to Chris Peden campaign to kick the old f@rt Ron Paul out of District 14.
Then my husband is going to get in contact with old buddies who work for the Federal Government on the base.
They will not appreciate seeing their their livelihood and pension disappearing especially when they worked for the government for most of their adult life.
They belong to this Union.
We are going to start a Counter-Revolution.
($25 or >) x donations by union members = $$$$$$$$$$$$

Welcome our new member...militem
Since Dec 19, 2007
Your kidding yourself if you believe union members will give any more money than their dues.
I am a union steward for the NTEU of the IRS and I vote for Ron Paul. I hate the IRS and hate having to work there!! Always have and always will - it was a perfect match when I had no place else to go for work! God does take care of the people on this earth.
Let me tell you, 85% of our members complain about every little thing and rarely voice or financially support appreciation for their union.
I know Ron will cut the IRS, and I do not care - I beleive it should’ve been cut away years ago.
The Government should not infringe it’s views, or spending on education. Separation of Church and state here people! Education is by the people and for the people - original intention of Founding Fathers!
“They belong to this Union.
That’s pretty interesting, they are endorsing Mike Huckabee. Not my cup of tea.
Courtney, I do not waste time on these boards when morons come here to mock the posters and tell their lies.
Courtney we have too much to accomplish, and too short of a period of time to complete it. Stay focused, because we must keep our eye on the prize.
