Ron Paul to run as Libertarian?

Bob Morris, on Jan 30, 2008, 10:01 pm

He’s got $20 million in campaign contributions, hasn’t spent much of it, and the Libertarian Party has issued an offer for him to participate in their nominating convention in May.

Ex-House member Cynthia McKinney will probably get the Green Party nomination, thus we could have two credible-to-strong third party runs in 2008.

(And I would not count Bloomberg out quite yet either…

As for Nader, if he runs, it will be a non-event and embarrassing to him. He’s done an extraordinary amount in 4+ decades, but it’s time for him to retire before he becomes a parody of himself.)

    “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered … The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly
    belongs.”
    –Thomas Jefferson

    “The military-industrial complex, the biased media, the big banks, the Fed, the waterboarders, and the IRS don’t like what we’re doing. But every good American is applauding us, and daring to hope for a better future.”
    –Ron Paul

    I sorta’ noticed something a bit strange maybe a couple of weeks ago but couldn’t quite put a finger on it ’till yesterday – he’s raising all that cash… but he isn’t spending any of it! What with the way the Fascist party is treating him, hanging on to the war chest is prudent.

    If Clinton/McCain/Paul is the best to be offered, we are well and truly screwed.

    One thing that Nader has done from day one is to stay true to himself and is cause. My hat is off to him. Let’s see if RP can do the same. Most people I speak with about him find him far to “radical”. They would have loved John Adams.

    I’d rather he just won as a republican. It sounds easier.
