Rolling Stone Gives the Ron Paul Movement an Assignment

Get rid of that warmongering Bushist, John McCain:

Ron Paul Clips McCain

“Iowa is time for the Paul patrol to put up or shut up.

“Everybody’s favorite anti-war libertarian is in fourth, tied with Fred Thompson at 9 percent in that Register poll. But that’s just 4 points behind John McCain — or a hair outside the margin of error.

“If Ron Paul’s supporters can catapult him into third place, they will do more than prove their candidate is no novelty act. More important, the anti-war Republicans can also clip the wings of the McCain, the GOP’s biggest Iraq-war booster.

“McCain is angling to be the Last Man Standing on the GOP side. If Huckabee kneecaps Romney, New Hampshire becomes McCain’s for the taking, and you can see how he just might win a narrowed field against the Huckster in South Carolina and beyond.

“But all of that is premised on his making a decent stand in Iowa. Lose to Ron Paul and you’re not a viable candidate. Period.” (Thanks to George Ajjin.)
