Lew Rockwell's Political Theatre

Political Theatre, RIP

Lew Rockwell — Sat, 23 Jun 2012 18:15:19 +0000

Thanks to all the loyal readers of this blog--and to such wonderful contributors as Travis Holte and Brad Funkhouser--but the time has come for me to put it out of its misery. I started PT to concentrate on the Ron Paul campaign, but now that that campaign is over, and all that lies ahead is the boring tragedy of Tampa, there is no reason for me to have a separate blog. This is not to take away from Ron's magnificent personal achievements in his campaign, of course, which have been legion. And I will still comment on the corrupt election games that revolve around Rombama, but on the LRC Blog. Oh, and don't vote.

Neocon Marco Rubio says he is not attending the Romney establishmentfest, complete with VP possibles, because he wants to spend the weekend with his children.

Ron in Veepstakes?

Thanks to a hilarious GOP rule change by Morton Blackwell, Paulist delegates may be able to nominate Ron for VP from the floor in Tampa. This could lead to a polling of the entire convention--taking many hours--and open up the processs to other candidates whom Romney also dislikes. It would certainly add some interest to an otherwise galactically boring event.

Creepfest

Lew Rockwell — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 01:22:51 +0000

GOP fat cats, neocons, and neocon fat cats gather in Utah (where else?) to select their rewards of war and corporatism from what they hope will be the open sewer of big-government under the Romney regime. They are also there to meet his possible vice-duce's. These include Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal, Tim Pawlenty, Rob Portman, Condoleezza Rice, Paul Ryan, and John Thune, but not Marco Rubio. Here's another story on the "retreat."

UPDATE Here is more on warmonger Romney as fundraiser, and Israel and his other key issues.

Is this one of the reasons Mitt dumped Marco as a potential veep creep? (Thanks to Brad Funkhouser)
