drewkittyRep. Ron Paul from Texas is running for President. He had a rally here in Mountain View, CA on Saturday that didn't make the media. You see, he's not considered a "viable" candidate although he kicked quite a bit of ass in the Presidential debates. A thousand people still showed up.
He's got a bunch of qualifications:
He's a strict Constitutionalist.
He wants the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Education abolished.
He's pro-individual and anti big government.
He's viciously attacked the Republicans for departing their conservative roots.
Last but not least . . . he's been against the Iraq adventure from the very beginning
Finally, the Washington Post has written an article on him.
I don't agree with him on some of his ideas and positions.
So what?
He's a man of integrity and honor in a country that is critically short on both.

Re: The Nader?

I should add that immediately after victory, the few Viet Cong surviving were immediately sent to re-education camps and kept there for a decade or so, as a threat to the new regime.
Sometimes there is some justice :)
