- I could feel the little wheels spinning in my head as
I watched the Republican debate Thursday morning. It came on at 2:00 AM
here.
-
- They said they got 5,000 Youtube entries; two thousand
more than for the Democratic debate and there was the implication that
this meant something. I know what it meant; a huge number of people sent
in questions that had to do with Ron Paul. That's what happened. It must
have been something for the people scripting the event. Surely Anderson
Cooper; separated at birth from Paula White, knew this.
-
- It was interesting to see the first Ron Paul question
be something from a headphone wearing Gen X rottweiler wanting to know
about whether Ron Paul was a conspiracy nut. Dr. Paul handled that one
beautifully and then for the next two hours, Cooper pretty much stayed
away from Ron Paul except for the opportunity to paint him as an unpatriotic
loony for not supporting the dupes dying for Israel and the oil cartels.
Enter John McCain- pull string in center of back; batteries included.
-
- They played Doctor Paul's commercial last and they got
back to him with a final question in the end which he knocked out of the
park. I loved the applause and cheers that washed out from the crowd whenever
he spoke. No one else got the same kind of response. They weren't able
to keep his supporters out of the crowd (which was loaded with neo-con
Schmoos) and who drowned out the boos whenever the fundarellas started
in. Ron Paul supporters can't be ID'd the way many others can; they come
in all ages, sizes and colors. Mostly Anderson kept away from Doctor Paul.
Dr. Paul is a real annoyance for the sleep machine, bagmen and dinosaurs
-
- Every time I hear Dr. Paul speak I am more impressed
with his passion and sincerity. He's the real deal. You may quarrel with
some of his positions but you can't quarrel with his obvious humanity,
his savvy and 'let's cut the bullshit' style. He stood out the way Snow
White would stand out from the seven dwarves.
-
- At another time I said something to the effect that Ron
Paul is the sort of man who might be made great by the power of the office.
I'm convinced of that now. I do believe he would impact on the American
political system in a way that no one has since JFK. He makes you want
to believe him because he is saying the things you know to be true and
because he understands priorities.
-
- What did I think of the other candidates? Giuliani is
a reptile and he definitely was involved in the 9/11 inside job. Romney
is a glossy magazine guy who will say whatever he thinks he has to say
and doesn't actually believe anything except that he's the man. Winning
is more important than serving is for him. The job isn't as important as
the position. Giuliani was far more skilled at dealing with smack-downs
than he. Romney's not going to make it.
-
- Hunter and Tancredo; are just glad to be contestants
on American Idol. Wave goodbye and don't let the door hit you in the ass.
-
- Fred Thompson is Mr. Folksy charm. He's another reptile
who's deep into the dark shit and has a hard layer of mean beneath the
surface charm. He wants to wear the Reagan-suit but Reagan he ain't; to
be fair, neither was Reagan. Say what about a Hunter-Thompson ticket? Fred
would probably bring the most entertainment factor to the position; not
because he's an actor but because he's married to Lady Macbeth.
-
- John McCain came across as the sad man in denial who
just can't let his delusions go. I don't know which is more embarrassing;
McCain playing up his war experience or Giuliani with the 9/11 fandango-
Rudy-boy is as slippery as an eel. He knew better than to mention 9/11;
didn't do any good though.
-
- Huckabee was the most impressive- besides Paul of course;
whom we hardly saw- and I'd say he might grab the nomination. CNN seemed
to sense this too. I had to keep reminding myself that he wasn't 'my' Uncle
Mike. He's really got that Kevin Spacey thing down and I like Kevin Spacey.
Huckabee definitely gets the biggest bump of the dwarves.
-
- Whose idea was it to trot out the old gay general? Some
compassionate junior producer shut off his mike during the meltdown, the
same way your relatives might tell the nurse to pull the plug, but then
you just know this happened somebody higher up said, "No! No! This
won't look good." And so they got him another mic (like there was
something wrong with the one he had) and let him go on and make an incredible
fool of himself and it wasn't pretty no not pretty at all. The gay media
caucus got their scripted moment and uh boy did that backfire. They ought
to knock it off about that angle anyway. Why not just buy the uniform and
wear it to one of the clubs? Sorry really I just couldn't help myself.
The point is you want to be gay and in the military? Go ahead, just don't
tell anybody. Here's a clue, they REALLY don't want to know. That's how
it works and that's all you're going to get. What's wrong with that?
-
- CNN knows they were inundated with Paul videos and they
know that Ron Paul is the people's choice of the people who are sick and
tired of Scamelot. Their numbers grow every day. And who picked the Confederate
flag video? What were they thinking? I know it was supposed to mean something.
It was nice to see the whole Islamic terrorist thing flame up after the
woman in Muslim garb made her pitch. When you think about who was actually
behind 9/11, well [The writer shakes his head and coughs.]
-
- And then the Holy Order of the Blessed Gun thing went
into action and everything got real serious, sweaty and tumescent. I take
my beloved shotgun named Jesus to bed with me every night. And then What
would Jesus do? Snicker Huckabee nailed that one. I suspect the guy is
a hardliner but he had the moves; give him that.
-
- I'd catch Ron Paul looking at his notes writing something
down generally keeping his face unreadable and patiently waiting out this
sorry affair. Afterwards he walked purposely right off of the podium. I
liked that. Well, my favorite American of the founding genre is Thomas
Jefferson so there are reasons why I like Ron Paul. I never thought I'd
be saying more nice things about a Republican than a Democrat.
-
- I suppose of all of the Democrats, I dislike John Edwards
the least. I suspect he'd be a good president by comparison with a lot
of what we've had. I like Kucinich's positions but that Shirley McLane
connection and the flying saucer sighting makes me a little uneasy. Now,
I have seen a flying saucer or two myself and in much more dramatic fashion
that Kucinich is supposed to have AND with witnesses but I don't think
I'd mention that if I were 'seriously' running for president.
-
- I know that Israel is none too happy with Ron Paul and
that's yet another reason to love him. There are a whole lot of reasons
to like Ron Paul, not the least of these is the presence of 'the dwarves'.
He is just what America needs right now. He's just what the doctor ordered
but things being what they are it's unlikely that enough Americans will
get their heads out of their asses and pick up on this. BUT you never know.
-
- I believe there is such a majority of Americans who are
so dissatisfied and disgusted right now that Ron Paul could well have a
much better opportunity for the office than anyone suspects. I don't think-
as the youtube commenter said- that they'll (the Republicans) give him
the nomination. I know he said that he wasn't planning on an independent
candidacy. However a lot can happen between now and whenever.
-
- It sure would be nice to see him get elected. I imagine
there would be a sort of Panic in Needle Park kind of a thing on the one
hand and a national sigh of relief on the other. In any case, it would
be just the kind of fairy tale ending that I like. Remember, whoever does
get into the White House is going to find out more than they ever wanted
to know about 9/11. I'm sure Hillary knows, as does Rudy and probably a
few of the others. This is the biggest thing that no one talks about; the
need to transfer the power so as to guarantee that nothing gets said about
what happened on that day ever. Just imagine
