Entry: Only a Revolution Will Do Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/only_a_revolution_will_do#16798 Post contents: To have any influence in either party or national politics, a candidate has to hae at least 15% of the vote, to make the powers-that-be take notice. Ron Paul has come close to that in the primaries after Romney's exit. He's doing a lot better then "I-saw-a-flying-saucer" nutsi Kuchinch on the left in the Democratic primaries...Kuchinch at best got 3% of the vote. It really tells us a lot about the hypocrisy of most Democrats and Liberals that it was a paleo-conservative REPUBLICAN that made a influence on the national debate, not a Democrat Liberal like Kuchinch or Ralph Nader. Liberals have no consistent anti-war position, they are merely anti-American in their attitudes. And of course a Oama and a Hillary are really fine with most of them. Ron Paul has brought the terms "anti-interventionist", "anti-internationalist" into the political debate, the only coherent "anti-war" argument out there. We should be thankful for that. I don't agree with Paul's "gold standard" position, but he's right that the US is relying on long term foreign debt to fund our short term prosperity, and like the foreign policy debate, Ron Paul was the only one to offer a coherent criticism of American's fiscal and monetary excesses, which endanger our national svereignty. Again we should be thankful for that as well. And again, the failings of the left on this issue are apparent in contrast. Ron Paul's campaign fell short by the 15% measure, but he got a lot farther then any leftie in the Democrat Party in influence on the issues. Sent at: 2008 07 08
