A handful of emails came to me today titled "Bad news on Ron Paul." The news, if that's what it is, is that Dr. Paul has hired some kind of questionable financial operator for his campaign team. The person referred to does have a shady aspect, but without even bothering to read the details, my reply to friends was that even if it's true one thing hasn't changed -- we still have a choice between Ron Paul and absolutely nothing.
Yes, absolutely nothing -- because that's all Perry, Palin, Bachmann and their ilk are! Their merits aren't even as substantial as thin air -- thin air you can at least breathe, but these pea-brains are TOTAL ZEROES. Nature abhors a vacuum, but neocons' brain waves manage to exist in one.
Ron has his blind spots and faults. Doesn't everybody? Don't you? He's weak as water regarding the border war, but come on, he came to Dixie from Pennsylvania. The question isn't whether he's going to be a 100% consistent knight in shining armor but whether he's significantly better for the country and the world than the opposition. "Better" won't do it: Bushes are marginally better than Clintons, but it doesn't make actually mean they're good in any sense. Quite the contrary, both families are the embodiment of satanic evil.
There's a world of difference between such classes of comparison. But one of the main questions at this point is whether the Ron Paul article at hand is genuine. Rumors abound, urban legends clog cyberspace. It's disappointing how readily people things at face value sometimes.... If anybody has facts on this, please say on.
