Entry: The Revolution and the Right Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_revolution_and_the_right#17337 Post contents: Unless Ron Paul can get 15% in a third party run, then he should not even attempt it. Unless you can get in the debates, it's useless, adn 15% is the magic number. The legacy of Ron Paul's candidacy is that he brought the terms "internationalism" and "interventionism" into the debate on US foreign policy. On the economic front, he was the only candidate to bring up the fact thahat the "Republican" economic plan is to fund short term prosperieity and tax cuts with long term debt. The Republicans have taken "supply side" economics and transformed it into the Wall Street version of a "free lunch" for the rich. Ron Paul laos was the only one to point out that the US cannot AFFORD a "police the world" foreign policy that uses long term debt sold to the Chinese to fund a "no-win" war to convert radical Islma into the equivalent of the Unitarian faith. Yes, he remained absolutely consistent on the social issues that appeal to the great middle majority---opposing abortion-on-demand, unrestricted immigration, and the racial preferences for jobs, housing and educational opportunities. If the "movement" arises out of the Ron Paul campaign, it will succeed if it concentrate3s on these "populist" issues. Sent at: 2008 05 16
