Novak Endorses Ron Paul
The Washington Times reports a visit by Bob Novak to the Heritage Foundation, where he regaled conservative bloggers with his take on current events and gave a little spiel about his new book, Prince of Darkness:
“When asked to rate the current field of Republican presidential candidates, Novak didn’t have any kind words for the current top-tier field of Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and John McCain. But when pressed as to who he thinks will be the eventual nominee, Novak said he expects Thompson to get the nod. However, Novak offered his own personal endorsement of Texas congressman Ron Paul. ‘He’s a very engaging person… I’d like to see him as president,’ Novak said. ‘Can you imagine him at the United Nations?’”
By the way, check out Novak’s new book, a memoir: it has the dirt on that evil troll David “a cheat and a liar” Frum, and that alone is worth the price of admission.

I didn’t agree with his take on the plame thing, but I don’t dislike him.

Who needs Robert Novak’s approval of Ron Paul? Paul’s record speaks for itself. Take a long walk off a short pier Bob—you and the rest of the establishment puppets in the media.

When you come over to the side of the angels, past sins are forgiven by fellow earthlings. It’s not only our culture tradition, but effective Rothbardian tactics.

After Thompson gets the nomination, every Republican of note is going to get a SAG card. I think John McCain already has one.

Ron Paul - There really is something different here.
Years ago, I gave up the illusion of finding someone worthy of my vote for President. The candidates are politicians; beholden to their party, lobbyists & special interest first - the people last.
I’ve always thought “...An honest politician -Yea Right! when pigs fly -I’ll believe that when I see them vote down a pay raise, give back left-over money in their office budget, and give up their obscene congressional pension...” Guess what! Ron Paul actually does this!
Here’s something else that speaks volumes about Ron Paul’s character—lobbyists don’t even bother to visit his office any more. They know that if the legislation doesn’t serve “The People”, and if it doesn’t follow the Constitution, he won’t vote for it.
I’ve watched Ron Paul (YouTube/C-SPAN) & I don’t ever recall hearing him say negative things about the other candidates. He’s running a clean campaign, always sticking to the issues, & never resorting to “mud-slinging” like the others.
Whether you agree with his ideas or not, you have to admit, it’s truly refreshing to actually find an honest politician - one that actually looks out for “The People”, and follows the principles of our founders -no kidding!
Oh - here’s another thing I find very interesting, the major media outlets are essentially ignoring him, and the other candidates are trying to bar him from future presidential debates. You have to ask yourself, WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF!?
