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.
I think that beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
randge...
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......"

I felt I was swindled out of a bit of money, too late to find another horse, so I didnt vote.
Of course I understand people that DO support the corrupt two party system, even after a candidate spells it out in plain English, "I am a pub til I die".
When he declared his undying love for the republican party, my cynicical self said, he is part and parcel of the system.

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

As are those who don't. Try not participating next April 15th. As I've said ad nauseum, foreign policy comes to us via the State Department and Tel Aviv, while domestic policy differs between *some* members of the Rs and Ds.
I don't think he is a fraud. If anything, his life is in danger.
My thoughts too. They always cut down a formidable foe. JFK springs to mind..
Solutions for Ireland. Say NO to the IMF/World bank. Default on our debt. Print our own debt free currency. Nationalise the trillion euros worth of gas and oil off our west coast. Take back our fishing (200 billion worth). Get our farmers growing again. Done deal if our politicians had the backbone. ~ Jim Corr
