He's not supposed to say that out loud...didn't he get the memo?

So, in that past 2 years we've had most republicans' rhetoric change to that of Paul's.

Now, in the next 2 years, we'll see prominent dems adopt the same rhetoric.


And all along, all of them will continue to state the Ron Paul can never be elected.


Interesting.

Sorry. Democrats will turn on Ron Paul like you've never seen if he is close to being nominated.

In fact, Democrats turning against Ron might be the beginning of his Republican appeal.

Still, this is a very favorable article considering it's from a blatantly progressive magazine/website.

Send it to all of yOur profressive friends. Get more liberals and progressives interested hearing more about in Ron Paul and libertarianism. I will definitely be working on sending this viral. I would recommend others do as well.

If Democrats are interested in identifying themselves as anything more potent than a kinder, gentler variation on mainstream Republicanism, if they recognize that drab managerialism does not excite the American people, if they want not only to win elections but to make those wins mean something, they should borrow the best lines from Ron Paul's text.


Unfortunately he isn't urging them to actually follow through, just borrow his lines for stump speeches.
