Entry: Ron Paul Rising Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/ron_paul_rising#7904 Post contents: Werner sed: "So what is “Joe Populist” afraid of, that a good but not overwhelming showing of Ron Paul in NH will do to the antiwar movement? Obviously if Ron Paul polls 7.5%, then his effort will prove in teh minds of the public that support for the "precipitious withdrawal" option is insignifcant. The problem is the general public is ambivalent about Iraw--they don't want to be stuck there forever, but they've been convinced of the "We Broke it--We've bought" argument...also the "conservative" base is incredibly triangulated on the issues, they like the Republican tax cuts, and others are concerned over the ptotential of the advancement of social liberalism under an Obama/Hillary win, or that teh Democrats are so dominated by racial/ethnic/religious "Identityu Politics" thathat the Democrats will be worse then Bush2 on encouraging unrestrained immigration. The Democrats are equally triangulated, and the anti-war majority in the at party will come home to whoever the Democrats nominate on election day because of their committment to the social issues. The triangulation of course, serves the interests of the real rulers of American---the Wall STreet Bankers and the CEO classes, and the Israeli Lobby. Sent at: 2008 07 23
