At worst, Ron Paul is a cynical gadfly, eager for the attention that his campaign brings to him and extracting perverse pleasure from pissing in the soup of American politics.

At best, Ron Paul is Don Quixote, Man of La Mancha. And his supporters are Sancho Panzas.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, since the literary analogy is a near-perfect one.

In either event, he will never be President of the United States.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.

I hate to break it to you, but no Republican will be president this year.

Most people in this country still want handouts. The Far Left doesn’t want to significantly cut entitlements and the Far Right doesn’t want to significantly cut military spending. The result? We cut neither and the trend towards poorer credit ratings, higher taxes,and greater deficits continues.

Which candidate do we have that is electable that is seriously “small government” in philosophy?
