A Tale of Two Wall Street Journal Articles

Peggy Noonan used the pages of the WSJ to attack Huckabee for being a big government Republican running to become Reverend-in-Chief instead of president:
Mike Huckabee is in the lead due, it appears, to voter approval of the depth and sincerity of his religious beliefs as lived out in his ministry as an ordained Southern Baptist. […]

Ron Paul Starting to Play Real Politics

I noted yesterday that the “official” Ron Paul campaign is finally becoming more politically active, as opposed to merely being an ideological campaign.  This prediction from a local source about the Iowa caucuses provides a bit more evidence regarding the political angle of his campaign (emphasis added):
Third Place
Ron Paul — Having a base of […]

For those of you who don’t understand what motivates Ron Paul supporters or underestimate their level of support, check out this video. And just because you’ve probably seen it before, still watch the entire clip to catch the new twist at the end.

Props.

Huckabee: Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me

Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
He’s a clown, that Charlie Brown
He’s gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
(Why’s everybody always pickin’ on me) — the Coasters

Here’s a refreshing bit of news from the Ron Paul campaign. Instead of a campaign solely based on pressing his ideological views, Paul has finally starting to become politically combative, too.
Two […]

Hotties for Ron Paul Calendars Can Now Be Ordered

Hotties4RonPaul is a new independent project to raise money for Ron Paul’s presidential campaign. Scantily clad hot women, such as my good friend Michelle (pictured on the right) who appeared on the Strippers for Ron Paul segment of Tucker Carlson’s show, will be featured in the calendar. I don’t expect we’ll find any Ron […]

When Bernanke Talks, People Listen

Let’s try that title again, this time with hyperlinks:  When Bernanke Talks, People Listen.  As of the time of this writing, the DOW is down 212 points.
It seems the investment class finds that Ron Paul makes a bit more sense than the Fed Chair (or the Democrats or Republicans, for that matter).
On Bernanke’s .25% rate […]

The Libertarian National Committee just voted on a motion which invites Ron Paul to seek the Libertarian Party nomination:
In a move most unusual for this body, the Libertarian National Committee just adopted a resolution encouraging Ron Paul to seek the Libertarian Party presidential nomination. The LNC is meeting in Charleston, SC this weekend.
The resolution recognized […]

GOP Shot Fired at Ron Paul Revolution

Last August, I wrote the following:
Here’s some advice to Ron Paul activists working at the state level: Beware of your local GOP machine. Aaron Russo’s death reminded me of his experiences with the GOP machine when he lost the Nevada Republican primary to Kenny Guinn. While I can’t imagine Ron Paul supporters breaking the […]

Ron Paul Knocks Another One Out of the Park

So long as Mike Huckabee doesn’t try to force schools to teach creationism in science classes or Mitt Romney doesn’t use government to make me have three wives (just imagine how long the honey-do list would be), I don’t care about the religion of a presidential candidate. I’ll be casting a vote for […]

The Ron Paul Movement’s First Slate of Candidates

I’ve been noting that no matter how well or poorly Ron Paul fares in the 2008 presidential elections, there is a new movement afoot, something akin to the Goldwater movement that eventually elected Ronald Reagan and established the so-called Republican Revolution. The fact that Barry Goldwater, Jr. has endorsed Dr. Paul is telling. […]

GOP Logic: A Win Isn’t Really a Win

Ron Paul has won or placed well in so many GOP straw poll victories around the country that I don’t generally find them newsworthy any more.  However, I found this statement pertaining to a recent straw poll victory amusing (emphasis added):
Republican officials dismissed the poll’s outcome, noting that Paul has been concentrating on winning straw […]

The Symbiotic Relationship of Ron Paul and His Revolution

Regarding the Salon.com article I just noted, I’ve have a couple of observations.
Michael Sherer grasped the significance of several factors pertaining to the Ron Paul campaign that other journalists don’t seem to get, such as this Paul quote:
The congressman climbs onto a chair, looking giddy. “You have gotten rid of my skepticism. I was a […]
