Ron Paul ...Will He Rise Again?by Doug Wead Recently by Ron Paul: International Bailout Brings Us Closer to Economic Collapse
Yesterday on Meet the Press, the declining prospects for the Republican Party were reviewed. The yawning conclusion was that no one can really challenge Barack Obama in 2012 and no one can revive the G.O.P. The prospects of all the possible candidates were assessed, but there was one glaring omission. Guess who? Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham were the Republican guest commentators. Romney has already made it clear that only an Obama-owned recession will allow him back in. And if Obama can’t get a temporary bump in the stock market, after trebling the money supply, well, we might as well all start selling apples right now. And one by one, on the Russertless Meet the Press, they ticked off all of the reasons why Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee won’t be returning after all.
Meet the Press cannot be blamed for omitting the one man who is still on everyone’s lips, as in “you know, I think he may have been right, after all.” The one man who predicted the economic collapse, who suggested that the Federal Reserve needed an audit itself, who warned that electing a Democrat or Republican was pretty much the same thing; and that there would still be a war where we don’t need one. The lobbyists would still rule. The government would still intrude.

Of
course, the weekly news dominated and they bemoaned the loss of
yet another possible G.O.P. standard-bearer for 2012. Mark Sanford,
the governor of South Carolina, is now out. His dalliance in Argentina
means he is damaged goods. Can’t you just see the governor
sitting at a side walk cafe in Buenos Aires, with this nagging worry
in the back of his head? “What if they are looking for me right
now? What if I am on CNN? Naaa…” Indeed, the Sanford episode
brings back all the painful narrative surrounding the infidelities
of Newt Gingrich and Rudolph Giuliani. Is there no one left to lead
the G.O.P.?
