Entry: Who's the Real Peace Candidate? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/whos_the_real_peace_candidate#1352 Post contents: Rep. Ron Paul is clearly, far and away, the best of the ten announced Republican Presidential candidates (I like Hagel better than the author of the above essay does, but he's not running as yet; one thing I do prefer about Hagel is the fact he could actually win), but Rep. Paul has almost no chance of getting the Republican nomination, and of the five Democrats with any chance of getting their nomination (Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Richardson, and also Gore), he would have an outside chance of defeating only the weakest candidate within that field (Barack Obama). Plus he's too old (he'll be 73 or 74 come Inauguration Day) and not a very good public speaker (one reason he won't be the GOP nominee). With all that said, you probably think I'm going to urge a vote for one of the other Republican candidates. Not a chance! For all Paul's flaws, the other nine are much worse. I'd go so far as to say that Ron Paul is a great American, and Tommy Thompson, Duncan Hunter, and Tom Tancredo seem sort of OK, I guess (and probably all have even less of a shot than Paul), but the other six are just despicable. I'd rather see the Democrats win that have Giulianai, McCain, that horrible Romney, idiotic Brownback, the Gilmore girl, or Rev. Huckabee get elected. They ought to hang a sign on the White House: "No Neo-Cons Need Apply." Sent at: 2008 07 25
