Clearly Grayson has this story cold. Equally as clearly, Barney Frank is a liar who never supported a true audit the Fed proposal in the first place.
Sen. Dodd of Connecticut is another slithering weasel who loudly and publicly pretends to champion financial reform but when the votes come, backs the banksters.
Ron Paul and Alan Grayson [...]

Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Audit The Fed Bill approved in House Finance Committee
Hands across the water. Socialist senator and libertarian representative want to audit The Fed
From Sen. Bernie Sanders website (he describes himself socialist.)
Fed Secrecy Sen. Sanders and Rep. Ron Paul discussed their legislation calling for an audit of more than $2 trillion in Federal Reserve loans. Interviewed on KPCC-FM (NPR) in Los Angeles, Sanders noted that the Senate already is on record in favor of his amendment calling for [...]
Dr. Doom is now guardedly optimistic
Nouriel Roubini may be about to get kicked out of the pessimism porn club as he now is saying if governments continue being proactive, we may survive this thing after all.
Meanwhile, Ron Paul raises the bar for disaster chic, saying we have a 15-year depression coming – but then he’s been a nutball buy-guns-and-gold crank [...]
Could the Bloomberg / Paul indie Green ticket in VA yank votes from the Right?
ConnecticutMan1 thinks so.
I don’t think that adding Bloomberg to any ticket, never mind one with Ron Paul, is intended to lure in votes from the Democratic party membership or the left in general.
Interestingly, the Independent Green Party of Virgina, who got way more than the 10,000 signatures needed to put Michael Bloomberg / Ron Paul [...]
Ron Paul quits race
So now we bid Ronulans a fond farewell. From their perplexing conspiracy theories to their bizarre embrace of 19′th century monetary policy, Paul’s supporters ran one of the most interesting political sideshows in a century. But it’s time for Ron Paul to board his dirigible and sail into the sunset.
Indeed, what I found most charming [...]
Ron Paul calls for ‘grand march’ on D.C.
He say it’s “risky.” You bet. Organizing and building a major march takes months. His success up until now has been net-driven, inspired by geeks who know how to build buzz in cyberspace and has raised a startling $25 million. But that’s not at all the same skill set needed to organize a real world [...]
Ron Paul supporter goes for Obama
Mish’s Global Economic Trend Analysis has some of the best coverage anywhere on the unfolding subprime and credit crisis. Mish voted for Ron Paul in the primary, realizes Paul can’t win now, and has switched to Obama. The war is a primary reason why.
The public is sick of this war for economic reasons. Polls show [...]
Ron Paul and the computer geek vote
Ron Paul got 21% and came in third in the Republican primary in Washington State on Saturday, way better than he’s done in other states. Much of the enthusiastic support for his run comes from the tech world,and I’m guessing his strong showing in Washington was due to large numbers of computer geek libertarians voting [...]
Ron Paul to run as Libertarian?
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 [...]
Lefti says No to Ron Paul
Lefti on the News presents a number of convincing arguments why Ron Paul is no friend of the Left.
And here’s an illuminating collection of quotes taken directly from Ron Paul’s newsletter.
Bloomberg, McKinney, and Paul
An independent presidential run by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg now looks like a near-certainty.
For Bloomberg to achieve 270 electoral votes in November, he would essentially have to supplant the Democratic nominee. Bloomberg’s strength would come in states like Democratic-leaning California and New York, not the GOP-dominated states of the South and West. That means [...]
Ron Paul raised nearly $20 million in 4Q 2007
This puts him in the major leagues of campaign fundraising. Love him or hate him, something unusual is happening with the Paul campaign and neither mainstream nor blog media is tracking it with any accuracy.
The Ron Paul phenomenon
“Something’s happening here / What is ain’t exactly clear.”
Ron Paul raised $6 million yesterday in the “most successful fundraising day in American political history.” Sure, it was geared as a massive one day fundraiser, but still, those numbers are impressive.
His campaign has gotten major traction from usually apolitical libertarian geeks like Chris Pirillo and Adam [...]
