I am glad ron paul announced as a republican candidate, and not because I like him, but because I |

1. Unrec. People seem to be pushing the meme here that Ron Paul is somehow "honest." |
|
Look at how he tried to deny the racism in his newsletter for an example of his "honesty." He is no different that any of the other grifters running for the GOP nomination.

valid, and that was my entire point

2. The fact that he runs as a Repug shows his dishonesty... |
|
His followers insist he's a libertarian
Then he should run a libertarian ticket
but he knows if he does that he will be out of a job

5. I don't think that honesty CAN be introduced into the Republican charade... |
|
And I fear that Paul will whip up a lot of hard-right sentiment.
But if it means a circular firing squad on the right, that could be an advantage!

7. It's not so much that he's 'honest', |
|
as it is that he is far more likely to tell the truth on a handful of issues Republicans routinely lie about.
So, in a way, he is a thorn in their side and I'm all for his getting on Republican nerves. You?
