The right took what they needed from the Libertarians and discarded the rest. Ron Paul's legacy will have been to create a new batch of slogans for the Republican party. They took the heightened paranoia about debt, the Fed, and the CONSTITUTION from Ron Paul's supporters which allowed them new ways to go on about the same things they always do (how can we fund Planned Parenthood when we are so in debt!). It didn't translate into most spheres of mainstream Republican thought though, no one is rethinking their stance on Israel or military spending because Ron Paul thought it up.
no other candidate can repair the damage done by our federal reserve system, and our worthless dollar, the prices at the pump, and the prices in the grocery store. The wars overseas, and the endless bombing, the endless foreign aid. The only candidate who will preserve the social security for the elderly, and cut the one place it needs to be cut - military.

At the end of the day the guy is going to be judged a pretty massive failure and soon libertarians will return to just guys living in vans down by the river who still collect silver certificates.Plus Ron Paul is a closet racist.
Apart from those newsletters which he didn't even write, is there any other evidence of Ron Paul being racist? Just curious.

The only real threat Ron faces at this point is outright fraud. Ron very likely won the popular vote in a number of States, including Iowa, Maine, and Nevada, but had it stolen by outright fraud. Dead people voting. Votes being taken or thrown away from Ron Paul.
This puts Ron Paul a close second in the “real” delegate count, that the mainstream media will not show you, just behind Mitt Romney.Even this however, is not the whole truth.The whole truth is that Ron Paul is well in first place. He is in first place, and will remain there, because many of his supporters have been posing and winning unbound delegate seats for all three of Dr. Paul’s opponents Mitt/Newt/Rick.What this means is that come convention time in Tampa Florida, none of Ron Paul’s delegates will be “switching sides”, where as delegates from all three other candidates will be switching to Ron Paul, on the spot. And these are just the “double agent” delegates that have the intention in advance to switch to Ron Paul.
Ron Paul is “last” according to the mainstream media in delegates. They can say this because they simply look at the popular vote and “guess” that when the States make final delegate counts, it will reflect the popular vote. The problem is that this is not at all true, because Ron Paul supporters are generally ready to take a bullet for Dr. Paul.

As America continues moving to the right, economic recovery remains elusive. A good cartoon.
I thought that was a joke at first. A paleo Ron Paul supporter. He must be a hit at parties.

The two biggest question marks I have about Robb Wolf are: support of Ron Paul, belief that Chinese traditional medicine is anything other than a pile of cynical bullshit
Well, this isn't offensive or anything.(Image removed from quote.)I'm sure the driver of this car isn't a racist!
wanted to point out that not re-nigging would keep your same vote that elected Obama in 2008did quick google search and found it's spelled "renege"...unintentional rascism off the day
I had a magnetic "support our troops" ribbon on my old cavalier while my brother was in Afghanistan, but in general, I think all bumper stickers/badges/etc. are tacky.
"Professional wrestling matches, as bizarre as they were and are, at least began as morality plays," Santorum wrote in his 2005 book, It Takes a Family. "Good guys, literally wearing white, fought bad guys, literally wearing black." And as in any good morality play, Santorum argued, there had been a Fall: "Today, professional wrestling is more about titillation than ever. The violence has been sexualized."
The bin Laden plot to kill President ObamaThe al-Qaeda brand had become a problem, bin Laden explained, because Obama administration officials “have largely stopped using the phrase ‘the war on terror’ in the context of not wanting to provoke Muslims,” and instead promoted a war against al-Qaeda. The organization’s full name was “Qaeda al-Jihad,” bin Laden noted, but in its shorthand version, “this name reduces the feeling of Muslims that we belong to them.” He proposed 10 alternatives “that would not easily be shortened to a word that does not represent us.” His first recommendation was “Taifat al-tawhid wal-jihad,” or Monotheism and Jihad Group.
Government growth is out of control!The steady loss of govt jobs as states cut their budgets is what has led to so many pedestrian jobs reports over the last four years; they're still being cut right now
Reading that was Her bullshit doesn't even make sense but it's clear she thinks she's being very clever. You know how really small kids, like four year olds, will try to tell a joke? Only it's completely scrambled and incoherent but they still laugh like crazy afterwards? Yeah.
