Progs: War Is Better Than Ron Paul

New CNN 'Poll'

"The survey, released Monday, indicates that 27 percent of Republicans nationwide support Perry for their party's nomination, with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who's making his second bid for the White House, at 14 percent. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin follows at ten percent, with Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani at nine percent, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who's making his third bid for the presidency, at six percent. Every one else listed on the questionnaire registered in the low single digits."

Perry's Eggheads?

The NY Times admires Perry's "scientific" campaign methods.

'Why Ron Paul Is Good for America'

Writes Ron's sometime-critic Brent Budowsky in The Hill:

Literally for decades, Ron Paul has stated his views intelligently and cogently. He did not care whether he was swimming with the tide or swimming against the tide, because Ron Paul wanted to shape the tide. This is what leaders and conviction politicians do. This is what campaign workers and small donors seek. This is what America needs.

And this is what most in the major media and most Washington insiders will never understand, which is why Ron Paul is so under-covered and under-respected in the press. The press likes the cheap flavor of the month. This is why the clown Donald Trump reaps two months of starry coverage, and Ron Paul receives virtually nothing after essentially tying for first place in the Iowa Ames poll.

My bet is the latest flavor the month, Rick Perry, the hare, will be gone sooner than pundits think, while Ron Paul, the tortoise, has many more curtain calls to come.

Read it all, and thanks to Jim Brownfield.

Neocon Foreign Policy in 1 Minute

Writes DS:

They should play this out loud during the next debate when Santorum or one of the other neocons starts blabbing about how the US brings "freedom" to the world with its bullets, bombs, torture, prison camps, and wholly owned dictators.
