    Exactly....but Obama has been WORSE than Bush. And that's saying something.

    But I do NOT hear you in what DOES pass as The News, for people who "get their news" from...where else...The News.

    Will unfailingly polite Paul issue a strongly worded rebuttal, to call Obama out on his TRANSPARENT Blame Game sleight-of-hand?

    Will he metaphorically scream and yell OUTSIDE THE BUBBLE, BEYOND THE CHOIR that only his policies meaningfully diverge from Bush's AND Obama's AND Business As Usual? In other words, get in Obama's face and call him a LIAR, without calling him a Liar?

    Here's the rub. Politics is NUTHIN' if not Dirty Pool.

    Ron Paul is not personally a DOWN 'N DIRTY kinda guy (so not down 'n dirty, he doesn't even LOOK for it). He doesn't think like that. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY...and no inclination to check that anything warrants proving.

    It is one of the things for which he is beloved by those who love him, yes?

    It is not MEAN to point out that some of his personal strengths are political liabilities.

    If he wants to win, he must use campaign as Bully Pulpit, not an educational podium. Which raises AGAIN the question of whether he DOES want to win. WILLING and WANTING are quite different. Would YOU want the job?

    Observe that the people who are famous for accomplishments rather than "years in office" by and large do not SEEK office. More than half of Congress are millionaires, but that is not big money to Big Money.

    "Market News" sez it all in a country wherein MONEY TRUMPS ALL. Most of what is passionately debated in Political Junkie circles does NOT grace Market headlines, any more than Ron Paul graces Mainstream headlines.
    I have come to believe that the message is the only thing that counts. You can get wins by playing the political game, but these wins are artificial and won't result in real progress.

    If the message isn't enough to get people on board, we shouldn't be thinking about how to play the political game better, but instead we need to identify the root problem. The root problem is that these people simply do not want freedom, and re-packaging freedom with the tricks of politics is not going to fix this problem.
    The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

    Baloney, and I can't stand the guy.

    On the flip side of the coin, Bush/Cheney prompted me to abandon the THOROUGHLY CORRUPTED "PARTY" after more than three decades as a Registered Republican.

    Glad everyone hit this one out of the park. In reading the title I thought it was possible that Obama himself wasn't able to add. Not that I would expect anything less from him. He seems clueless about the 1.5T deficts he's running

    You have a little bit of a point in that they're both equally evi....however, Obama has taken Bush's dirty pool tactics to all time highs. So eventhough he used the Bush2 playbook, he's executed the plays even better then Bush ever did. Thus making him worse than Bush.

    Folks - I didn't post this here to spark a discussion about Obama. I posted it here to highlight an opportunity to change Republican primary voter's minds about Romney while they still have a chance to vote for an alternative.
    I compiled a "brief" history of events since October 2008 that are defining the global currency war and the role that gold is playing:

    Tin Foil Hats, Economic Reality and the Total Perspective Vortex

    Also, have you contacted your Congressional Rep and asked them co-sponsor Ron Paul's HR 1098: Free Competition in Currencies Act?

    The flip side of wanting to lose is PRETENDING TO HELP Ron Paul (and other Republicans) win.

    The Resistance is at a juncture. STAYING THE COURSE speaks to "Republican gains", almost certainly NOT to a Ron Paul presidency.

    There are Patriots who think party infiltration is more consequential that an ALL-IN-BALLS-TO-THE-WALL Third Party run...which pretty much has the same chance of success as Ron Paul winning the GOP nomination.

    The key difference is that if he loses in Tampa, as he is OVERWHELMINGLY likely to do, THAT'S THAT, he's out. Third Party, he HAS the percent to be in the debates. Both Americans Elect (where he leads in voting) and the Libertarian Party will have ballot access in all 50 states.

    What would YOU advise, if you were his Trusted Counsel?
