Merry Xmas everyone and may your grandest wishes come true, for as long as they don't come into conflict with my own :). I haven't done a vanity in a long, long, long time but I felt that it's important to discuss the reality of where RP is currently heading.

Disclaimer: I stand for just about everything RP stands for. 'Just about' stands for his continuing membership in the stupid, evil, dangerous GOP party.

Now, on the topic of Ron Paul. I just watched a clip of him on the Tim Russert show where RP re-stated in the most forceful way that he has no intention whatsoever to run for US Prez outside of the GOP reservation. The inescapable conclusion, therefore, is that RP is really running for the GOP nomination and, of course, he is NOT going to get it. He is not even going to be a close third or fourth. In the end, you will find RP trailing Huckabee, McCain, Thompson, Giuliani and just about everyone else who stands for Bush, War and the fat State way because this is what the GOP membership is standing for these days.

I am fully aware of the 'hijacking' theory. Its exponents believe that, somehow, the RP activists are going to show up all 100% of them to vote in primaries and everyone else's supporters are going to stay home and we will see RP winning state after state after state. This is, of course, nonsense. Reality is coming on Jan 3, I believe, and Jan 2 will be the last time you are going to hear about the hijacking theory.

Then, I heard someone here stating that 'the 2 parties' are nothing but tools for whomever is seeking the presidency to get the presidency. This, my friends, is as naive as it gets. The parties are Mafia-like organizations whose aim is to seek, get and exercise political power for the benefit of the inner circles who own them and they as much a 'free' tool for the people the parties put forward for the voters to vote on as the Mafia is a tool for the Mafia bosses. The inner circle has no use for RP, he does not support the type of 'leadership' they are paying for.

Now, RP is going to lose. He took millions of dollars from supporters who refused to accept that he can NOT win the US presidency under the stinky and filthy flag of the GOP. He was asked repeatedly whether he would consider running as an independent, OPPOSING the 2 monstrous political Mafias and, every time he answered the question, the answer was a strong 'NO'.

THE FUTURE: the next US Prez is going to be Hillary, O'Bama, Giuliani, Romney or, maybe, Huckabee. Ron Paul will win ZERO primaries/caucuses and, if he is true to his words, he will get back to delivering babies and representing his Texas district. I suspect that RP is going to be very much at peace with himself but, what are his supporters going to feel about it? What are they going to do? They supported a campaign for the US presidency that was built from the ground up to lose the race - and they refused to see it because they liked the excitement. Are they going to be sad? Angry? What would be the consequences of RP's campaign? The main consequence that I see is that of legitimizing the 2-party system. RP is a saint among politicians. He says and does all the right things and, yet, he insists in staying inside the GOP party and he retreats when the GOP, as predicted and as expected, deals him a humiliating defeat in his attempt to represent the political Cosa Nostra - because he is not a made made and he is not from the families. However, staying as an 'unmade' member of the organization, he adds credibility to it. It would be something close to Jesus joining the Pharisees and seeking Caiafa's job.

I will be watching with interest how the RP fantasy gets itself crushed by the inevitable political reality. Just you all keep in mind that, while 'the media' and 'the corrupt politicians' can be blamed for RP's inability to win the GOP nomination, the main problem is RP's seeking the GOP nomination instead of running for the US presidency and seeking the support of the people, not the nod of the GOP party bosses.

First of all, he left some wiggle room about running as an independent. But the point is, the GOP was hijacked by crooks and we're trying to take it back. For that matter, the entire country was hijacked and is being run by foreign interests.

Ron Paul's Boston Tea Party resulted in:

The average donation was $102; we had 58,407 individual contributors, of whom an astounding 24,915 were first-time donors.

The campaign is growing rapidly, with supporters getting involved in blimps and ads outside the official campaign. Ron Paul has by far more meetup groups than any other candidate. And Ron Paul has generated more interest than any other:

In November, Compete says voters spent 252,000 hours looking at Ron Paul's pages, up 50% month-over-month and almost twice as much attention as his next rival, up-and-comer Mike Huckabee. Paul commanded 53% of the total "FaceTime" spent on Republican candidates, and 87% of the attention to all candidates from both parties on Meetup.com.

The closest "FaceTime" Democrat, meanwhile, was Barack Obama: voters spent about 91,000 hours looking him up online in November.

The majority of Americans want us out of Iraq, and Ron Paul is the only candidate who represents those Americans (besides Kucinich who doesn't have much support). Therefore, Ron Paul is the best candidate to win in Nov '08 against the any liberal candidate. Almost all liberals want us out of Iraq.

It's true. The majority of American do want us out Iraq 'NOW'. Not a majority or GOPs though.

There are liberals voting for Ron Paul because of this, even though they have Kucinich, because as they put it "Paul has the momentum". I've met a few.

Reading your comment, Cynicom, caused the following thought to cross my mind:

How long has it been that there has only been one (l) third party (a socialist) elected to Congress (first to the House and now over to the Senate) or some other 'party'===we've had more queers elected than third party candidates.I am, of course, referring to Bernie Sanders, the Socialist, versus Barney Fwank, and Jim Kolbe, to name two.

I will put a caveat here, "in our lifetime" when discussing this.

Don't do that. See number 111.
