Ron Paul seems to have picked up right where “He Who Should Not Be Named” (AKA Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche) left off.

“He Who Should Not Be Named” was a preeminent “radical” (note: no additional adjective like left or right is need because he actually managed to span the entire spectrum and is disowned by both ends and the middle), some might say huckster.

Paul seems about the same.

Dammit. “… the other candidates aren’t all three.”

Well, the other candidates may not be loony or incompetent, but they ARE politicians — so I can’t agree that they’re not liars.

DeMorgan’s Theorem: not (a or b or c) is (not a and not b and not c): so Roger’s just saying that the other candidates are all three.

@ Roger
GringoTex, thanks for sharing but we all know that Paul, on numerous occasions, has denied he is a racist. What he has not done is: A. Explain why he allowed such things to be written under his hame for several years

HE ADMITTED IN 1996 THAT HE HIMSELF WROTE THEM.

See my previous posting. In other words, when he claimed recently that someone else had written them, he was contradicting the 1996 interview when he admitted to having written them himself. Please go back and reread what I quoted.

A. Explain why he allowed such things to be written under his hame for several years.

B. Tell us who wrote them. (He claims not to remember.)

Let us know when he gets together and does these elementary things.

Don’t blame me for Ron Paul. I’ve ridiculed him and his supporters since I first learned about them.

If the Ronulan, as Roger so aptly put it, fenomena says anything, it says to me that many folks are eager to listen to something daring, something stiring.

Its too bad that they are not geting it from where it should come from.

they get it from an nut.

could anybody inspire people any more?
w/o using tire words like change bla bla bla.

We complain about Ron Paul but he’s in part our own fault for not producing anybody that much better.

Ron Paul has claimed that someone else wrote that material, that he wasnÔøΩt aware it had been written. A 1996 Dallas Morning News interview says otherwise.
“Dr. Paul denied suggestions that he was a racist and said he was not evoking stereotypes when he wrote the columns. He said they should be read and quoted in their entirety to avoid misrepresentation.
Dr. Paul also took exception to the comments of Mr. Bledsoe, saying that the voters in the 14th District and the people who know him best would be the final judges of his character.
‘If someone challenges your character and takes the interpretation of the NAACP as proof of a man’s character, what kind of a world do you live in?’ Dr. Paul asked.
In the interview, he did not deny he made the statement about the swiftness of black men.”

Yep, it's true. The last time I was there, somewhere in the early 70s, it was as a Hunter Thompson-like reptilicus creature trying to slither out of Mexico thru Eagle Pass with a big jug of reds and them little pink heart-shaped benzedrines.

This is extremely insignificant trivia, but the word “maverick” originally referred to the unbranded herd of cattle owned by Sam Maverick on the Texas coast on the 1840’s. To this day, an unbranded calf is sometimes called a maverick.
