It’s time to let go of the left-right paradigm. It’s even time to abandon the four-pronged Nolan Chart. We live in a time where the status quo is devolving into a bipartisan pro-war, corporatist, anti-free speech police state, and the only candidate who will turn it around is Ron Paul. If the likes of Nader or Kucinich were frontrunners in the 2012 primary, this blog post would be about them. Sadly, that’s not happening—but if liberals would reach across the aisle to embrace this iconoclastic libertarian’s surprisingly viable candidacy, iconoclastic progressives might have a chance in the future.
It’s well worth the read. No, she’s not 100% in agreement with him on all issues, but it’s one reason I’ve like Ron Paul as well: he stands for something. The man has principles and has stuck with them. He’s not like Mitt Romney nor Barak Obama, who are established flip-floppers, willing to do whatever it takes to get and stay elected. Thus who are they serving? Certainly not you.
Go read.

At this point, however, it doesn’t look like he’s going to be on the ballot for the Republican party unless there’s a dramatic shift in public opinion between now & super Tuesday.
My guess is he won’t make it, because the Republican Machine doesn’t want him because they know he’s a threat to their establishment. He won’t be their puppet and they will continue to do all they can to deny him.
So, I’m going to just have to write him in every chance I get.
I love that Ron Paul answers questions based on principles he believes in, not principles he believes will get him elected.
