Ron Paul, Patriot


Ron Paul, originally uploaded by ronpaul2008.

Pat Buchanan gets it right again on the recent Republican debate, and he spotlights the best underdog in the Republican field, Ron Paul:

"After the debate, on Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes," came one of those delicious moments on live television. As Michael Steele, GOP spokesman, was saying that Paul should probably be cut out of future debates, the running tally of votes by Fox News viewers was showing Ron Paul, with 30 percent, the winner of the debate.

Brother Hannity seemed startled and perplexed by the votes being text-messaged in the thousands to Fox News saying Paul won, Romney was second, Rudy third and McCain far down the track at 4 percent. ...

...Ron Paul is no TV debater. But up on that stage in Columbia, he was speaking intolerable truths. Understandably, Republicans do not want him back, telling the country how the party blundered into this misbegotten war.

By all means, throw out of the debate the only man who was right from the beginning on Iraq. "

Pat Buchanan may be my favorite pundit. I hope Ron Paul can get some traction, if only to anger Brother Hannity.
