From Alan Bock
To supplement my piece on the Ron Paul phenomenon, here’s a piece by Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com that broadens the perspective just a bit, discussing the shortcomings of the other candidates. Giuliani wouldn’t be the least bit viable but for 9/11 and still has problems with the base. McCain is sinking fast and Thompson isn’t rising and Romney has more money than support. But the main reason for the Ron Paul breakthrough, despite MSM inattention, is his opposition to the war. Justin expects the attacks on Ron, mainly from desperate neocons who see dreams of empire fading or (even worse) being ridiculed, to start soon.
One point (I think) neither Mr. Bock nor Mr. Rambo stated is thatthe $5M+ Rep. Paul’s campaign raised came from the pockets of citizen patriots, who want OUR Amercica back from all these (string of bleeps) backstabbing scum, who have defiled our minds w/ spurious propaganda and so thoroughly corrupted our gov’t, which is now just basically an organ of Corps. Dr, Paul takes NO such P.A.C. monies!
Good piece, huge attribute to his stardom, but it’s not his only position people support :). And I think I could dig up a little more dirt on the other politicians than this writer :P.
