Ron Paul has about as much chance of getting the Republican nomination as Charlie Sheen does of getting that real interview with Barack Obama that he's wanted for so long.

Paul's son is poised to become the next senator from Kentucky. http://twitter.com/dflaherty/status/9391697239

i guess jones and co would have to spin it so that palin has "woken up" just like the implied idea that somehow her getting together with the tea baggers has somehow hurt that movement

i particulary liked this line from a post someone had made on the article

"You can vote Paul or you can vote for a liar."

I'd vote for Paul... Protest vote. I wouldn't vote for his son though, he's to hawkish on the war against terror. I doubt Paul would run with Palin. This blog post is full of speculation, distored views & outright made up lies.

"Ron Paul apparently does not accept the theory of evolution" as an agnostic neither do I. I don't buy into creationism either but these beliefs would have little influence on my vote.

"White claimed that Paul and his aides regularly met with members of neo-Nazi groups like Stormfront" This kid that is a Holocaust denying fruit loop is hardly a credible source. Bill white has more in common with stormfront than Paul.

"Ron Paul has accepted donations from white supremacists"
It wasn't like the Nazi party sent him a huge check, more than likley it was an online donation from Joe Bob & his Cousin/Wife Betty Sue Bob-Bob sent in some money. This is nothing but spin.

"It also doesn't help Paul's case that he makes pronouncements that Israel is trying to get the U.S. to go to war with Iran" This is true cause the facts are that Isreal wants every american to bake them a friggen cookie.

"I've come across Bill White's antics from time to time before, and he is clearly a liar of the first order" The same liar you sourced to claim Ron Paul was tied to stormfront?

"first, the argument isn't that Paul is a racist per se, but that he is an extremist who shares a belief system held not just by racists but other anti-government zealots as well." Classic guilt by association insanity.

Was this article written by Bizzaro Alex Jones?

Though I like Ron Paul's "libertarian like" views (minus the idea of going back to the gold standard and closed borders), he is not quite consistent with me. Plus, it is very difficult for any politician to be consistent wanting limited government while being entangled with it. With Ron Paul somewhat unintentionally being associated with conspiracy nuts (however, he goes on their radio shows) and white supremacists, this will damage his chances of becoming president IMO.

@ No-Heros:

I do like the idea of something of limited resource backing a currency rather than nothing backing it.

No libertarian I know of calls the currency he uses to pay taxes "nothing." Our currency receives plenty of "backing" every April 15.

Isn't there an article he wrote for a white nationalist newspaper or something? I could be remember one of the details incorrectly, or just be completely wrong.

I also recall him making a comment that we have blacks to fear more than terrorists.

Ron Paul's racist newsletter:

Considering Paul did not write those words and has not (as far as I know) been affiliated with any other racist agendas, I'm going to avoid labeling him a racist. CTs are described as thinking in black and white terms, yet many people are quick to throw Paul into such a sensitive category. Having the support of white supremacists doesn't sound all that great; but then I remember that this guy leans toward anarchism and therefore is probably the only sort of legitimate candidate who'd receive their funding.

Regardless of Paul's racial views, he is undoubtedly a global warming denier, and thus a conspiracy theorist.

@ Ferseus, yes. Libertarianism with capitalism or private property, which Paul campaigns for, is not true libertarianism. Still, it's about as close to anarchism as any hopeful candidate will get.

The fact that he supports Austrian economics, federal reserve conspiracy theories, and seems to have an archaic view of evolution and global warming is concerning.

And yet, I still think he's the best candidate for the white house. :(

You should check out his interviews on the Alex Jones Show, he tells a totally different story.

why would they not "open their books to congress so that people could see what they are doing" ?

There was a video posted here awhile back where Paul asks Bernanke why the transactions of the Fed are kept secret and what not, Bernanke just gave him this weird look and informed him that all the information becomes available every 5 years(?). Something to that effect.
