An Overwhelming Response To Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul

I have never gotten the kind of overwhelming response on anything I’ve ever written here at LI Exchange the way I did regarding my post on Republican Presidential long shot candidate Ron Paul. My inbox has been clogged with responses, too many to reply to. Warning: Rambling screed ahead. May contain inherent contradictions, unclear writing, and a bit of froth around the mouth area.

For starters, let me admit to a major error in fact by calling Paul a Libertarian candidate. My research was faulty, guilty as charged. No excuses there, and many thanks to everyone who wrote in to correct me. Of course, the title of the article was “Who The Heck Is Ron Paul” which is a subtle hint as to my complete ignorance of anybody but the frontrunners in this 2008 thing.

Paul’s status as a Republican candidate changes nothing in my estimation of him being the Howard Dean of this election. He’s still not going to make it as President this time around. If Ron Paul were running as a Democrat, I might have a revised opinion of his chances. Americans will be voting for regime change this time, folks. If you can’t see that at present, don’t worry. You will.
