Not that smart people didn't know that anyways...
but seriously, these people are shitting millions a day, they could live with 4-8 years of Ron Paul, and their pockets would not be harmed AT ALL! Fucking greedy bastards, who would screw an entire country into a economic shit bag just to line their pockets with billions of more dollars than they need...

If only Ron Paul's ideas were representative of the majority of Republicans, the U.S. would be a much better place.
If the Necons were the fringe, and Republican-Libertarians the majority...ahh it's nice to dream, isn't it? Might even draw me to the "center". Even if I am a Democrat, I gotta say... go Ron Paul Revolution! _________________ "Agnostics: Atheists without balls." -Stephen Colbert

It was indeed interesting that Paul got such a large percentage of the Republican vote in PA. Good for him. _________________ "Agnostics: Atheists without balls." -Stephen Colbert
One of my favorite libertarian writers, who had great clarity, and a great way of making thing easily understandable in his writings. Here is a link to many of his articles.

Thanks for the tip on Harry Browne. I didn't realize who he was.

Ron Paul is down but not out
Quote:
Two candidates not named John McCain got a combined 219,913 votes in the Pennsylvania Republican primary Tuesday, and one of them is still in the race.
Sort of.
“I’m a real candidate, but I try to keep everybody living in the real world,” Ron Paul said in an interview, alluding to the exuberance of his supporters.
Despite posting a video on his website last month conceding that he couldn’t win and indicating that he was winding down his campaign, Paul continues to be a presence in the GOP contest. He aired a radio ad before the Pennsylvania primary, is still traveling the country to appear at campaign events and, as of the end of March, had more than $5 million in the bank.
He got 16 percent of the vote Tuesday, which, combined with Mike Huckabee’s vote share, meant that more than a quarter of the voters in the Keystone State’s closed Republican primary voted for somebody other than their party’s all-but-certain nominee.
The libertarian-leaning obstetrician-turned-congressman's long-shot candidacy continues to take on a life of its own — and he admits he’s in no rush to tamp down the enthusiasm.

After a super-majority of Ron Paul supporters captured control of the Republican state convention Saturday, state party officials abruptly canceled the event without electing delegates to the national convention.
Early in the day, state delegates supporting Paul’s continued pursuit of the Republican nomination voted through a rules change that forced the state party to abandon its pre-set ballot of potential national convention delegates and open up the race to the rest of the state delegates.
The vote followed a rousing speech by Paul of Texas, who said his presidential campaign will continue as long as he has support.
But as the convention continued into the evening, chairman Bob Beers said the party’s contract for the hall at the Peppermill Resort Casino had expired and the event would be rescheduled.
“Due to a rules change that left us on an overtime basis, we will recess the convention until a date that we are going to announce next week,” Beers told a shocked crowd, which stood silent for a few seconds before erupting in boos.
As Beers was escorted out of the building, a short-lived effort to rescue the convention was launched by party activist Mike Weber. Although several hundred Paul supporters stayed, they weren’t strong enough to make a quorum to continue the convention.
Throughout the confusion hecklers battled for the attention of delegates who supported U.S. Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
“McCain supporters leave!” one man shouted.
“McCain supporters stay!” a woman answered.
“We’re supposed to be on the same team!” another woman shouted.
In a written statement, party chairwoman Sue Lowden said the vote to allow self-nominations doubled the number of people competing for 31 spots to the national convention. That overwhelmed the party’s capacity to process the votes.
“Unfortunately, with the rule changes implemented this morning, we did not have time to complete the process,” she said. “Our contract for the meeting space had expired, as had our budget, and ballots were unable to be physically produced by the nominations committee. We had to temporarily recess the convention.”
