Wow, 57% less war and legal weed. Vote Gary!

Government is a catch 22. They largely end up supporting the status quo, hence you're at the mercy of big capital, but, government has become a kind of civiliser of capitalism over the last century or so and that's better than nothing. But getting rid of government is no guarantee of more power for the people. Where do people think the power was before we had modern government and where do they think the power will return if you take that government away?

The crap some people talk about the captains of industry and their assumed benevolence without the interference of government is beyond naive.

Tax is about the massive superstructure that we have all become dependent on. Handing that over to private concerns is insane.

Ron Paul is certainly pissing off a lot of his supporters. His latest proclamation is that he is going to "take it to the convention". That might be a great thing to watch, a GOP convention overrun by libertarian "revolutionists".

My thought is that he should be angry about the vote fraud that was perpetrated by his own party. He should be prepared to take his campaign to an independent status.

Unfortunately, he is making noises like he is going to endorse the eventual GOP nominee. This makes me think that Ron might be a foil designed to attract the millions who are angry about our government and the electoral process.

How it works: appeal to the masses, corral them, rig the vote, make them think their views are not widespread and that their movement is not popular.

I'd hate to think it's true, but it could be.

Of course, Calvin. It could be just as it seems...but if I made Caputh's magical head ponder, maybe there is something to it.

A couple of clues stand out...one is the undeniable popularity of Ron Paul's message. He really could win if the GOP leadership got behind him. His rallies are attended by thousands, yet it doesn't translate into votes? Romney hardly draws a crowd, but wins?

Another note is Ron's near total lack of direct anger at his own party for the way he's been sidelined, dismissed, and possibly even robbed. Now that it's almost over and done, he seems to be lying low, and accepting Romney and probably endorsing him, instead of going rogue with an independent run, which is what every last one of his supporters wants him to do.

So, maybe Ron is just a paper shepard designed to lead his flock to slaughter.

In any case, no way I'm voting for Oromney. Gary is on the ballot in every state, I'm pretty sure.

Vote for Gary.
