He is running on almost the EXACT platform that Bush ran on in 2000. (limited Small government, non-interventionist foreign policy, major tax and welfare reform, libertarianism, constitutionalism. . .) Seriously, this is what Reagan preached.

But it will go nowhere, as a legal case. Look at HRC for G-ds sake. RP is a nonissue, like a fart, he's full of stink but no substance. This is no supprise, it is stating the obvious.

He gets re-elected because of Tom Delay's gerrymandering scheme and because no other serious conservatives run against him due to how our county party is ran. Although he is a really nice guy on a personal level, he and the majority of his "followers" are kooky. We're talking 9/11 troofers, Pro drug legalization, Gov. Richards' UFO truth crowd plus many more of the type. In fact, when you look at contributions to his congressional campaigns, a big majority of his support comes from outside of Texas. Anyone with atleast a high school level education in American and World history also knows that his Constitutional interpretations are not supported by facts or legislative record and he is so naive in foreign and economic policy that I get a mental picture of Homer Simpson every time I think of his proposals. Seriously, does anyone really want to go back to living off the gold standard (aka the Great Depression)? I live in Ron Paul’s congressional district and he’s not even that popular here.

Reagan or Bush ran on a nonintervention policy. They ran on a policy of not allowing international bodies to regulate our foreign policy and get us intwined in foreign conflicts that had no bearing on our national interests (unlike Billary CCCLinton who coincidentally had us attacking the wrong side in Bosnia). That's a pretty solid difference when compairing to Rep. Paul's isolationist theory (which only has historical ties to the 1930-40's Republicans where it was more taken as opposition to Progressive/Democratic admins as opposed to being a real belief - no one complained about Teddy's Corollary and the Monroe Doctrine when they were making money off it). Had Rep. Paul's theories been consistent with constitutional intent and thereby adhered to by previous generations, the world would look much different than it does now (Barbary Coast, Spanish-American War, Panamanian independence from Cuba, WWI, WWII, Persian Gulf). Not to mention that our involvement in Mid. East politics began not with the discovery of oil (they had it before we got invlolved) but as a way to counter act Germany in WWII and also to limit the Soviet influence during and after the war (we were in Iran before we teamed up with Saudi Arabia and it wasn't about religious zealots in the end as much as it was socialist operatives from the USSR - but that's not common knowledge).

What it does mean is that we need someone who is able to understand and interpret things when compared to the historical context. And a naive libertarian is incapable of that because ultimately they're more concerned with themselves than democrats are. …cont.

I have been in the business of computer technology for a long time and have good friends in the IT security business and we have discussed this at length. Cui-bono (who benefits) I find it far more likely that this botnet spam attack is not the design of the Paul campaign or any of its supporters. It is far more likely that this is the release of a first round of direct cyber attack against the Ron Paul campaign. I base this opinion on the fact that the attack is becoming clearly targeted at the youtube videos of Ron Paul. Youtube links to his videos are beginning to be inserted into the the body of these spam message and as a direct result the video's are being pulled by youtube for violation of their terms of use policy. This attack method can do far more harm than good for the Ron Paul campaign so I will make a guess that this is the work of those in the NSA using cyber war tactics out of loyalty or possibly under orders to use this stealth attack method to derail the Ron Paul campaign by using the campaign's online strength against them. I expect that after these attackers have used this method to remove the best google and youtube videos touting the Ron Paul campaign, that the attack method will change and will then go after other key components of the campaign's online strength such as the Web 2.0 communities. These utilities will likely be spammed and the organizations using the applications will be banned from their use. This is nefarious and demonstrates the kind of tactics that the establishment could use to serve their interest in stopping the advance of Ron Paul and the Revolution for freedom that he is leading as well as his Presidential bid. I can only hope that the Ron Paul online army has some equally talented cyber warriors that can help stop this attack before it is ramped up even further. Ron Paul Campaign Under Cyber Attack
