I have little faith that Ron Paul would be able to do a damn thing were he able to somehow up his chances from the four or five percent who like him now to a number high enough to actually make it on a ballot.

He's been in Congress for going on...24 years? Guess how many bills he's written that have been enacted into law.

One. That bill sold a historical landmark in Galveston.

His main attraction to the younger voters is that he seems to think that the Fed is illegal at best, and run by the Masons to create a one nation world bent on turning us all into the Borg at worst.

When guys like Lyndon LaRouche and Ralph Nader (other conspiracy theory dingbats) failed to ever make it on a ballot with an actual political party, they started their own, or joined some other one...maybe that's what Paul ought to do.

Maybe he and his son Rand (who somehow manages to make his old man look sane, he is a Dingbat with a capital "D") can run as President and Vice President for the Tea Party...were the Tea Party an actual party and not just the insane wing of the Republican Party.

Ron Paul also thinks we shouldn't have the Civil Rights Act, or most environmental laws, or really any laws at all. I appreciate the sentiment, but this is not a world where you can trust people to do anything that is good for anyone but themselves, so we need laws to protect the rest of us from those greedy bastards.

The one thing I can actually get behind Paul on is his stance on going to war, which is pretty much that we shouldn't be in Iraq, not by a long length...and even if Paul is a dingbat on everything else he ever advocates for, he'll always have my respect for that stance.

Fish on...
