Wow, I had no idea that racist claim had made the rounds so quickly.
Out of curiosity, where did you hear about it? Anyways, the newsletter in question was often written by ghostwriters who publish in his name. Such was the case in this instance. The ghostwriter was fired, and Paul took the flak for it being published. Afterwards, Paul was asked why he took ownership of the newsletter despite its racist claims, and he explained it was because he was told by his campaign manager that it is best that way, as making excuses about who wrote it and it being published under his name would only be confusing to his electorate. Of course, Paul has never once said anything similar to that in all of his known public service. In fact, he has been very outspoken against all forms of racist thought (including affirmative action), citing his view that racism binds people into groups and empty numbers, rather than treating them as unique human beings. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
More Pros:
-There is also the stabilization of the falling buying power of the dollar by, at least partially, tying it to a real good, like gold, and potentially silver. As it stands, the fiat dollar's value is purely imaginative. The significance of this is of course the fact that while gold is universally treasured by humans throughout the centuries, a complicated blend of linen and cotton with ink on it can, in a matter of years, become literally worthless. (Some contend that this makes for a more volatile international market, potentially leading up to something akin to the Great Depression again. This claim is mostly unfounded, since Milton Friedman made a very thorough and convincing case proving it was the Federal Reserve's actions which caused the Great Depression.) - Budget balancing. Since Paul is pretty much a rabid fiscal conservative, he wouldn't only reject bills which are unconstitutional, but also spending bills which force us to borrow money to fund. (current loan rates are $3 billion from China and Japan A DAY, according to Paul) Another Con(actually, I just realized this is just an elaboration on one of Brady's points ):-His hardline stance against pork-laden and unconstitutional bills may unite the Congress against him, so that they can go over his head and overrule his vetoes, possibly making him an ineffective and powerless president. I don't buy this, but this is still an option. Who knows what 535 greedy men and women bought off by corporate lobbies might do. -I recall reading that China might have a problem if we stopped borrowing from them, and we attempted to pay off the loans. Why this is, I don't really know, but I remember this being a cause for contention with Paul as president. Quick Update: Here is the condensed YouTube video for Paul's "Educating Giuliani" press conference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAt6Pf7jZjA There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Actually, its looking like a couple of the "top three" were really nothing more than placeholders for Fred Thompson. Since each of these three men appeal to a slightly different demographic, and then they bow out in deference to the Bush in actor's clothing (ZOMG AN ACTOR LIKE REAGANREAGANREAGANREAGAN... REAGAN), they will likely consolidate a lot of their supporters to the Thompson campaign. Lets just hope that McCain is more senile than we already know, and that Giuliani's self-glorifying aspirations supersede any of these possible political tricks.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Are you sure it was Giuliani, and not John McCain?
Because Paul has definitely raised more funds than the McCain campaign, and now its become clear that they are jumping ship. (Three of the lead staffers are resigning or fired.) $2.4 million is the estimated total cash on hand for the Paul campaign(as opposed to McCain's $2 mil), and since they've been very stingy, as well as having a strong volunteer support base, this can last them a long while. I was speaking idiomatically. |
