Despite rumors that various splinter forces within the Republican party are attempting to block Ron Paul's fateful chairmanship of the Monetary Policy Subcommittee, we now have confirmation that the only sane politician left will now be Ben Bernanke's direct nemesis during any and all future Congressional spectacles starring the printing unchallenged one. And with US debt creeping ever closer to the debt ceiling, coupled with the dollar for dollar monetization of the US deficit, such spectacles will soon be plenty.
Fast forward to 3:30 in the clip for the announcement.
It's tough to leave the gate when on the other side there's all kinds of crap barring the exit way, eh.

NO EXCUSE will relieve Paul of the burden of having let millions of Americans down.
HE PLACED HIMSELF THERE, no one begged or forced him. He had the only true message of truth but he was NOT then nor NOW the man to lead the revolution.
False hope wears nice, but it leaves you empty always.
"If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked." — Ron Paul
I see nothing wrong with throwing the slogans of communists, whom I consider an unqualified enemy, back into their teeth. I think it was a most fitting challenge.
This was Paul's way of reminding the Internationale, in all their many guises, that we have their number and that we will not rest.

Without looking, I think somewhere in there, Paul declares his lifetime fealty to the republican party until he dies.
I do not buy into the idea there are TWO parties.
Later he ran for a seat in congress as a republican, no opposition, and won handily just as he did a few weeks ago.
I think that beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

Certainly does...
Reality of past history does not support optimism.
McFadden had a much stronger position back in the 1930s, than Paul will have. He was strong enough to bring charges before Congress, charges which still stand, and have been ignored for nearly eighty years by Congress.
Congress could act upon those charges any time they desire, but it seems the will is not there, perhaps influenced by the fact that McFadden was assassinated shortly thereafter.
Paul has to do nothing, just get Congress to move on the original charges.
"The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to the Judiciary Committee and has...... YET TO BE ACTED ON......"
If you ask me, that post by you nullifies your prior position simply by virtue of the fact that Paul, particularly at his age, clearly saw that he could do more good by being patient and then hoping, with good hope apparently, for a position such as this.

In politics, that is called back filling. hehehehehehe
