Entry: Unclear on the Concept of Ron Paul Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/unclear_on_the_concept_of_ron_paul#12863 Post contents: "So why can’t Ron win? Well, you see, he’s too old" Yup, you hit the nail on the head Justin. It is almost the exact same complaint made by left-libertarians...that well, Ron Paul is not cool enough. Howard Dean, fighting against the Washington Democratic establishment and arguing that he represented the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party, gave rise to Barack Obama’s outsider message that is now working so well. I would argue that unlike the Dean of 04 (definitely does not apply to the Dean of 07) Obama is a complete and total insider . Its sad so many people are fooled by his phony message, but if you look at his record, he just another Great Society Democrat who wants the government involved in every aspect of your life...he just says it a little more purdy than Hilary does. "Like Dean, Paul is the wrong messenger. If another, younger, more telegenic libertarian Republican comes along in the future, claiming to represent the Republican wing of the Republican Party, he or she might help redefine the GOP for a generation." Sounds to me like the author of this piece wants a more 'moderate' libertarian Republican...IE BS libertarianism or Beltway libertarianism. Sent at: 2008 07 20
