MSM and 2 Books Changed My Dad's Mind on Ron Paul

Writes Dan Cotter:

My dad was a die hard liberal my whole life. In 2006-2008 we had big arguments about Ron Paul and his views. The biggest tool in taking off his blinders was the constant attacks by MSM. He would defend them one by one until finally his will to defend them started to break. Now today, after reading Liberty Defined by Ron Paul and Rollback by Tom Woods, he has come full circle and become an anarcholibertarian. He called me after the Iowa debate so fired up about Ron Paul that I couldn't believe I was talking to the same man who 4 years ago hung up on me because I argued the minimum wage was wrong and immoral.

Another Anti-Ron Paul Candidate?

The neocons are pumping for phony government cutter Paul Ryan to enter the presidential race. The wrong-Paul supported TARP, Bushacare (actually Big Pharmacare), the anti-Muslim wars, the police state, etc. (Thanks to Travis Holte)

Grades and Candidates

Democrats have made fun of Rick Perry's college grades, while arguing it is racist to want to see Obama's (one of the vast number of secrets kept about his past). But there is one man who made brilliant grades in high school, college, and graduate school, while working his way through: Ron Paul. Along with all his other qualifications, Ron is by far the smartest person running for president.

But, of course, he can't get it right. The Rickster threatens to beat up Bernanke if he prints more money to try to reelect Obama.
