Paul Supporters Miss the Point

by Erik on 21 January 2012

In response to my recent article on Blogcritics suggesting that Ron Paul should not run as a third-party candidate if he fails to attain the Republican nomination, a Paul Supporter writes:

When a candidate enters a primary, he agrees to accept the primary’s outcome.

Do you have a citation for this? …. I donated money to Paul because I want him to be President and if his best route means doing it outside the party, so be it. The two parties are part of the problem with Washington. If you don’t see that, you shouldn’t being writing about politics

Not only does this comment entirely miss the point of my article, it’s illustrative of the selfish attitude that pervades Dr. Paul’s base.  If Paul’s best route to the presidency lay outside the party system, then he should have taken that route.  He chose not to; he chose to participate in the Republican party’s primary.

Where Gingrich May Have Won the South Carolina Debate

January 20, 2012

If you missed the first few minutes of the debate, you may have missed the best part.  CNN decided to open by delving into allegations made by Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife.  Newt ripped into the moderator, and razed the faulty premise of the question:  Newt’s past isn’t something that should be ignored, but everything about this [...]

Third Party Bids are Purely Selfish

January 20, 2012

This article first published as Third Party Bids are Purely Selfish on Blogcritics. Ron Paul still hasn’t ruled out the possibility of running as a third party if he fails to attain the Republican nomination. His supporters — or at least the most vocal among them — seem to be actively encouraging him to take [...]

Vultures are Good for the Environment

January 17, 2012

I don’t care much for Mitt Romney. I think he’ll say just about anything if he thinks it will help him get elected. He’s unprincipled, and his political career is not indicative of the Conservative banner he’s currently trying to claim. Finally, his continued support of Romneycare is troubling, and if Obama’s record weren’t so [...]

Voter Fraud: It’s Easier than You Think

January 12, 2012

James O’Keefe is at it again; his Project Veritas has just released a new video showing just how easy it is to cast a fraudulent ballot in New Hampshire. Dead men tell no tales, but as Project Veritas found in New Hampshire, they can still vote. On New Hampshire Primary Day, Project Veritas sent a team [...]

Politicizing the New Year

January 1, 2012

If you thought you could enjoy the new year without hearing from the Obama Campaign, you thought wrong.  The campaign found time to send not just one, but two emails, begging for last minute donations.  Because … the real purpose of New Year celebrations is to ensure the Obama Campaign has the billion dollars he’s [...]

Video: Vilma Leake’s Priorities

December 21, 2011

Democrat Commissioner Vilma Leake started the last County Commission meeting by addressing the truly important issue affecting Mecklenburg County residents.  If you thought she brought up the above-average unemployment, or opposed the decision by the DNC to ship in union workers and deny much needed convention business to local companies, or addressed the current tax [...]

Height of Frivolity: Lawyers Suck Millions Out of iTunes Price Change

December 20, 2011

Yesterday, I received an email about the Johnson iTunes Settlement, a class-action lawsuit against Apple.  There’s so much wrong with this legalized extortion; it’s difficult to know where to begin. Unlike Hollywood and the big record companies, Apple has always hated DRM (Digital Rights Managament) software.  I don’t know their specific reasons, but I’d bet [...]
