Anybody else suspect Ron Paul's campaign is trying really, really hard to co-opt OWS? |

I somewhat know that they are. It's an organizing principle of not merely the Paul campaign but the larger Ron Paul supporting community to co-opt everything they can in the name of Ron, "Champion of the People".

7. They are trying to. The problem with that is that trying never got anything done. |

8. Of course they are, note to Paul supporters: We are Occupying Wall St |
|
The same institutions that Ron Paul wants to let run wild and destroy our country. Paul calls the Wall St agenda "Freedom" while we call it financial tyranny.

10. And failing at it really, really badly. |
|
Ignorant people love Libertarianism because it's simple.
It can't work in any way, but the simplicity is attractive to those that can't understand a modern market economy.
Paulists will have a hrd time finding stupid people at those protests.
