Craig, Point taken but as they say, politics makes for
strange bedfellows.
Ron Paul is doing an excellent job of embarassing and
shaming the GOP. He has exposed them as statists
and hypocrites (which they have always been but not
quite so publicly.)
Ron Paul is sucessfully discrediting the Party system
in general before the whole world. Every penny he
spends doing this is a penny well spent.
The Soviet Union had ONE establishment party.
America has TWO establishment parties.
Wow, do I feel free or what?
NOT!
See all of you at the R3volution March in D.C.
this July, 12th. Bring your passports because the
cops are starting to set up checkpoints.
Go, Ron. GO!

Although I agree with some (many) of Mr. Pauls position, I maintain that it is dangerous for folks in general (and Antiwar.com in specific) to align themselves with EITHER the GOP or that perceived notion called “Right”.

Neither of them have had ANY relationship with Antiwar, anti-interventionist or libertarian principles in the last couple of generations! And that is a long time……

It’s the age-old argument….what if I tried to talk to people about the good things that Hitler did or the visionaries in his government? Get the point?

In the “simple” world of today, most folks cannot fathom complex ideas and policies. All they know is:

GOP= Old White guys, war, corruption
Dem=Everyone else, and corruption (of course).

Having been at MANY antiwar rallies in the 1960’s, I can assure our good readers that there were very few Republicans in attendance. Also, we “hippies” and “leftists” were ridiculed for “make love not war” “legalize it” and “do your thing”…..recognize those talking points? Yes, those are so-called libertarian values!

So be careful what you wish for. Putting ANY faith, even a little, in the Right…..is like skinheads wishing for the return of Hitler. There is really nowhere to go back to – hence the name “progressive” – think about it….

What I like about both Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich is on their anti-war stance, civil rights, and they both stick to their party’s true agendas. Though, they both disagree on the economy.

Ron Paul talks about Dennis here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJcnoDfFWhM

I stongly suspect the “Good News” of the title is a mordant play on “Gospel”, and the Hot Gospelers thereof.

I am not sure I read any good news above. Does Ron Paul plan to become an Independent if he won’t go to the GOP convention? Or does he plan to end his campaign? I would hope it is option 1. Because as of this moment I don’t think there is any Candidate better than him.

I would prefer no more 9/11’s but an American Waterloo(or more significantly Borodino) may be required to end the US Government’s obsession with attacking other countries expecting no consequences.

You must be “right wing”, thus also obsolete. Take up your Neo-Conesque ad hominem’s about Kucinich’s spouses with Kucinich. I am sure he will give you the response you deserve.

Sorry to post again but I just
gotta say, who is that standing
next to Kucinich in the video?
Is that is third or fourth wife?
Maybe it’s a rent-a-babe?
I think Kucinich should promise
free VIAGRA to Democrats. That
outta get him nominated.

Oh, and by the way…
If you still aren’t sure if Kucinich
is a Lefty (or any other politician)
here’s a simple test:
Compare thier voting record to RON PAUL’s.
That should sum it up for you.
As for him being shut out of the commie
Democratic Party, watching sadists eat
their own is always entertaining.
Go, Ron. GO!

“people like Chomsky and Kucinich,
who many identify naively with the “left”.

My point exactly. And why are they
identified with the Left?
Because they ARE of the Left.
Yes, Kucinich has stones but where is he
now when YOU need him? Probably arguing
with himself in a mirror somewhere.

You brought a tear to my eye referencing Mike Royko. A few of his columns are still in my files, and hardly a week goes by when I don’t wonder what he’d say about this or that topic of the day. How the mighty are fallen.

“Name ONE politician with that much sand.
NAME ONE, JUST ONE!
And who is he doing it for?
ME.”

Every passing day brings more and more evidence of the unalloyed jackassity that parades as loyalty in the ranks of Ron Paul hanger-ons. The above remark just has to be right up there with one posted here not too long ago comparing Paul to Jesus Christ. One almost experiences a kind of paralysis when considering nostrums suitable for this type of disability. Ought one prefer spanking or enema in the presence of such imbecility?

Earlier today I witnessed a You Tube of a crazed Clinton believer at the meeting of Democratic Party’s Rules Committee excoriating officials there for having reached a compromise on the Florida and Michigan delegates problem they were facing. Here’s the url:
