Ron Paul-Hater ♥ Obama 'Jobs' Program

See Bob Wenzel on a typical Beltarian. And on the oligarchic apparatus that funds the Beltarians and so much more, see Pam Martens.

Congressmen Flock to Client State

Thanks to a loophole in a reform, the AIPAC lobby is able to give politicians $10,000 excursions to Israel. Need I mention that Ron Paul was not one of the cerebrally cleansed? (Thanks to Daniel)

Ron Paul Talks Jobs

Ahead of the Gop forum in FL tonight. Need I mention that Ron is the only candidate to know anything about economics? Indeed, he is an expert on real economics, that is, Austrian economics. All the other candidates are Keynesians. (Thanks to Travis Holte)

Why Ron Paul Scares Rick Perry

Writes Brent Budowsky in The Hill:

"One of the cardinal rules of politics is 'never attack down,' meaning a front-runner should never attack or respond to an opponent who is far behind. Yet that is what Rick Perry is doing. He is intimidated by Ron Paul, and responding to Ron Paul. Why? The answer is that Ron Paul is a true libertarian and a true conservative, while the latest version of Rick Perry, the man who once championed Al Gore, is a phony conservative and can't even pretend to be a phony libertarian."

Read it all. (Thanks to Travis Holte)

UPDATE from Tom Luongo:

"Your post from 'The Hill' is spot on, and explains why Perry is doomed.  He's making the same mistake that The Thug Guiliani did in 2007, going after someone who at the time was zero threat to his chance to win. The minute he did that it was the end of his campaign. He is probably still sitting around wondering where he went wrong. That moment will forever stand as the beginning of the RevoLution. I'm looking forward to Perry eating himself alive going after Ron."

CNN-Tea Party 'Debate' Tonight

At 8:00pm EDT.

Here is what Politico says you should pay attention to. NB: the libertarian top-tier Ron is mentioned at the very end, after the loser-national socialist Santorum.

A friend writes:

"I wish someone would make this point tonight: that no one trusts the MSM, and their debate bias shows why. Why shouldn't every candidate get the same amount of time? Why shouldn't the order they are called on be determined by lottery? Why should pro-Obama media types be able to skew these forums? Why are the 'moderators' chosen from establishment liberal shills?"

Politico, National Journal Praise Ron Paul Campaign

For being "more sophisticated -- less ideological and more practical."
