Ron Paul is too smart to be elected in a country of Homers. Too bad, it’s our loss.
Exactly, Ash. The media will frame the upcoming election for all of us dum-dums so that we can make a decision without having to read anything or pay attention. For example, the story in 2000 was “Mister Smarty-Pants vs. The Good Old Boy”. Of course the Good Old Boy won that one. In 2004 the story was “The Flip Flopper vs. The Good Old Boy”. Again, the Good Old Boy prevailed. Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney will probably play the role of the Good Old Boy in 2008. The only question left is who will play the Flip-Flopper or Mister Smarty Pants. They might surprise us and give us “The Woman” or “The Guy With The Funny Name”, but it really won’t matter, because the Good Old Boy will probably carry it again — People love a Good Old Boy. Nobody likes Mister Smarty Pants.
