Ron Paul made number 34.


Ron Paul

AGE: 73
OCCUPATION: U.S. Representative, former presidential candidate
PREVIOUS APPEARANCES ON THE TIME 100: 0

PRO: With his antiwar, antitax platform, the Texan became an unexpected Internet phenom, using the Web to raise as much as $6 million a day. And now that we think about it, we probably should have taken his advice about gold.

CON: For all his fundraising acumen, the media never saw Paul as anything more than a fringe player.

Wow. I can't believe they acknowledged he exists.

They should have taken his advice about everything, but who's counting?

Oh, this is the old list. For a second there, I thought they had a new one.

There was not one Evangelical on that list. That is encouraging.

That's a list of over 200 possible candidates for the top 100, and I don't think it's in any particular order.

Ron Paul made number 34.

So, his main fault was that you morons didn't give him fair coverage. Nice.

No kidding. We're 'dumb' manipulating bastards but that's his problem. Just when you think you've seen it all.
