Mitt Romney is our only clear choice for President. As Republicans, Santorums and Gingrichs come and go, but Romney is always there. Others roller-coaster their way through the polls, through the primaries, but Romney keeps on the straight and narrow path to the White House. So, we should all just vote for him.
"But what about Ron P..." *interrupts* That's enough of that kinda talk, stranger. Ron Paul's a kook. Don't bother me with facts or figures. None of that there common sense. Don't tell me we can't afford the wars. Don't tell me we can't print more money, because we can always print more, because that's what "more" means! Just let me have another drink of that propaganda-spiked kool-aid...
The preceding is what I get from every mainline Republican statist about the election. It's on all the media, it's flowing from the mouths of the pundits. It's everywhere. You can't get a word in about Ron Paul without him being dismissed as crazy. You may occasionally find the sympathetic Republican who will be so kind as to concede that Dr. Paul is spot-on about absolutely everything - except his darned foreign policy. "Oh, bother! We can't stop funding foreign dictators! What would that do to our national security?!?" Please.
My commentary, at least for this post, shall only be as follows: Ron Paul is black coffee on a Monday morning to a very hungover GOP. Another drink would help the headache, but that's not going to fix the problem.
Now that my blog has come out of retirement, expect more on this and other subjects.
Ah, paragraphs... I missed you my friends.

For The Hatred of Ron Paul
I'd be willing to bet you couldn't guess who called Ron Paul supporters "terrorists" first.
Yeah, you know the whole MIAC report coming out about supporters of Ron Paul, among others, being terrorists? It wasn't the first time someone said that.
I watched Glenn Beck on CNN one night in 2007, and I was shocked at what he said. Finally, I've found the video:
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but using the word "bomb" in reference to large amounts of money is an accepted term, and can even be found in a dictionary. (Entry "8".)
So, Glenn Beck said Ron Paul supporters are terrorists long before the MIAC Report. What did he say after the MIAC Report?
So, now Glenn is buddy-buddy with Ron Paul, making fun of anyone who says Ron Paul supporters are terrorists? I don't get it.
If you've been watching Glenn's show for as long as I have, you'll know about his frequent references to Ron Paul as "the mayor of Looneyville" or "Crazytown", but now he likes him? Could it be that Glenn is capitalizing on Ron's popularity, trying to be more friendly towards him?
I have always loved watching Glenn Beck's television program, as well as listening to his radio show, but I've lately had a great dissatisfaction with him. He seems disingenuous to me.
After saying that he's "rewriting Common Sense" (at least he says he was "inspired" by Thomas Paine), and going on a "Common Sense Comedy Tour", he ceases to hold my interest.

Ron Paul Injects Sanity into a World Manipulated by Fear
(I post this through a nasty cold.)
This video is apparently a day or so old, but holds its relevance.
In a crisis, people tend to lend government powers they would normally never give-up; that's why we weren't supposed to have a democracy. Rule of law prevents this, but rule of tyrants encourages it.

Rally for the Republic!
Ron Paul will be the main speaker on the 2nd of September at his alternate convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This alternative convention will be held August 31 - September 2, coinciding with the Republican National Convention (Sept. 1-4.) in Minneapolis’ twin city of St. Paul. (<---Interesting!)
Ron Paul’s convention will be called “Rally for the Republic”.
The “Restore the Republic” image on the sidebar is now linkable to the official website.
With Tucker Carlson as emcee, and speakers such as Barry Goldwater Jr. and Lew Rockwell, things could get interesting!
Besides, I think Ron Paul’s campaign needs some closure, and now, he’ll go out with banners flying!

The Poll
Okay, I'll go ahead and call it: Ron Paul wins the poll! The vast majority voted for Dr. No, and their voices have been heard.
A new poll will be up before the day is out.
Thank you, one and all.

Fit for Service
These quotes were just too large for the sidebar, so I decided to just go ahead and post them.
"When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, 'just men who will rule in the fear of God.'
The preservation of [our] government depends on the faithful discharge of this Duty; if the citizens neglect their Duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the Laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizen will be violated or disregarded.
If [our] government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine Commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the Laws."
-----------------------------------------------------
"In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate -- look at his character.
It is alleged by men of loose principles, or defective views of the subject, that religion and morality are not necessary or important qualifications for political stations. But the scriptures teach a different doctrine.
They direct that rulers should be men who rule in the fear of God, men of truth, hating covetousness. It is to the neglect of this rule that we must ascribe the multiplied frauds, breaches of trust, speculations and embezzlements of public property which astonish even ourselves; which tarnish the character of our country and which disgrace our government.
When a citizen gives his vote to a man of known immorality, he abuses his civic responsibility; he not only sacrifices his own responsibility; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country."
~Noah Webster
Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin both, in my mind, are fit to serve as the President of the United States of America.
Maybe they will combine forces in the next election, if there will be one; you never know.
