Jon Stewart on the Ron Paul Media Blackout

The Joke Will Be on You

Over at Salon, Steve Kornacki tries to justify the Ron Paul media blackout, implying--as such people usually do--that his smart and motivated following is somehow unfair. But one sentence in the last paragraph hints at the truth:

Maybe the joke will ultimately be on us, and Paul will prove that he really does have mass support this time, enough to win (or come close to winning) some key states.

New Ron Paul Ad

Ironically, the last Republican presidential candidate to be described as "The One" was Richard Nixon in 1968. Of course, Ron is the anti-Nixon, since Tricky Dick was a Keynesian, a warmonger, a mega-spender, a regulator, an economic dictator, a state-expander, and a fiat money champion in the LBJ tradition.

The new ad begins by describing DC as the "lost city." If only! Nor is "division" in DC a problem. As Ron always points out, there is no division. They all agree on the warfare state, the welfare state, and the banker state. The only fight is over who gets the loot. Still, this is a very well made ad, beautifully paced and technically excellent. And it is a huge improvement over the first one. I look forward to the next ad, perhaps a 30 second one.

'GOP operatives fear lasting Ron Paul problem'

Darn right. The Beltway conservative cabal--based on militarism, banksterism, and the mega-state--has been put in the shade by Ron Paul. For good.

Ron Paul as Isaiah

And Jonah.

Perry the Borrower

Texas has had a long history of anti-debt, anti-banker sentiment. But the Rickster, I am told, has changed all that, issuing almost $15 billion in road bonds, and getting a line of credit for another $20 billion. There is vast dough and power in catering to the bankers, of course, and Perry is their boy, just as he is Big Pharma's boy, Big Agra's boy, and, especially, the Pentagon-arms makers complex's boy, not to speak of a foreign government's. What a guy! Don't ask me where the people rank in his scale of values. BTW, I'd love an article on his borrowing, who handled the underwriting, etc.
