Ron Paul’s Biggest Fans

October 4, 2007 · Leave a Comment

This morning’s Washington Post analysis of Ron Paul’s recent big win in government seems particularly accurate in highlighting the discontent with the current Republican party and its associated abandonment of its major economic position of fiscal responsibility. So many in the MSM write about all the independents and Democrats crossing over for Dr. Paul, but people like me — i.e., disgruntled Republicans who favor limited government — play a large role in Ron Paul’s popularity. His growing campaign is not merely peopled with pimply-faced basement dwellers soaking off Mom and Dad because it’s cool to be against the war. True conservatives (and the Republican party in general, historically) have been against sending our troops overseas to play policeman of the world. Conservatives crave a return to the Goldwater/Reagan legacy that is still very much alive, despite G.W. Bush’s attempts to thwart it with cries for amnesty and “compassionate ‘conservatism.’” I want my party back, and so do many other Republicans.

John Stossel at ABC News Ron Paul Supporter — Ironic?

May 11, 2007 · Leave a Comment

How ironic that the media’s arguably most famous libertarian works for ABC News. He recently voiced his support for Ron Paul at The Heritage Foundation.

I wonder if John Stossel has any idea about his network’s Ron Paul fiasco?
