Could it be that Audit the Fed is going to the floor?

Haha - I was just about to paste it. So yes, it's about his committee assignments.

Should be great to watch - and I'm glad he's giving The Judge the scoop!

I'm hoping its the committee chairmanship. Ron Paul announcing his run in 2012 just shows he's still with us. (Any doubts about that?) Him getting the chairmanship shows were winning. Plus his being a committee chair will give his presidential announcement more weight. :D

I'd be pissed if he announced a 2012 run on FreedomWatch. Might as well yell it out in the house elevator.

Anyway, I'm glad he got his chairmanship. About damn time.

Why would he need a meeting to get the chair? Did they make Ron promise something? Not be too loud or to not run for President? I trust he wouldn't compromise, but I am wondering what was said on the meeting.

If RP gets the chairmanship he would have some major to deal with. Take advantage of the position for the full two years or run for president. Doing both to the best of ones abilities would be near impossible.

I am not surprised and was saying in another thread that they see him as 2012 threat. Better off making him a deal now to keep him from running. I was shooting higher, like house speaker although that seems unlikely.

Honestly, I'd rather have Ron run for President than chair this committee if it was one or the other. Another Presidential run could convert a ton more over to the liberty side. It would pay off more in the long run.

I think he might even win the Presidency outright, which will make it beneficial also in the short tun.

Also, how difficult would it be to run for President and chair the subcommittee?

Incredibly difficult. It wouldn't be too hard if he were the front-runner, but if Ron Paul really wants to win bad he is going to have to do serious retail politicking in Iowa and New Hampshire. There is barely enough with him just being a Congressman.

I disagree completely. There are several promising advocates for freedom who could run on the Liberty platform in 2012, but only Ron Paul is in a position to pry open the lid of the Fed using the subpoena duces tecum power of the monetary policy committee chairmanship. Displaying that which has been done in darkness by the economic central planners in the light is of critical importance at this stage, and will, I believe, convince more people of the wisdom of Austrian economics and limited Constitutional government than another educational bid for the Presidency, no matter how enthusiastic.

Ron absolutely must devote himself 100% to using the chairmanship to battle the Fed.

There are others that may run in 2012, but only Ron Paul can garner the same amount of passion and activism. Only Ron can cause a buzz among the Republican party. Anyone else such as Gary Johnson has no name recognition whatsoever, and will have a harder time rallying the base than Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul is our ONLY shot for winning 2012. He's also the only one who can have a big impact on converting others to the liberty forest.
