Obama to fully succeed in pushing and implementing his radical philosophy REQUIRES that he have the financal shakers and movers in his corner. It is only a matter of time my friend and we will all see how radical his agenda really is.<br /><br />What is sad is that a man like Ron Paul will likely never have the oppurtunity to unite liberals like yourself and conservatives like myself in a united front to attack the prblem that will, in the end bring down this great nation.<br /><br />If you haven't read Ron Paul's book yet do yourself the pleasure of doing so.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping in again Oso, you're alwas welcome here.Les Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120280762698472496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-29330290723533115772010-04-16T21:13:43.642-04:002010-04-16T21:13:43.642-04:00Very heartening to read this.

Alone among politicians, (at least in my observance) Paul delivers the same message no matter what type of gathering he is speaking at. That alone speaks volumes.<br /><br />However, I would strongly disagree with one aspect of your post, that Obama is in any way radical. He seems to follow the dictum of "speak one way, do another" so he will say things which appeal to his liberal supporters while his directed policy is completely centrist or even center right. <br /><br />Bernanke,Geithner and Hank Paulson-Republicans all-could not have scripted more finance/insurance friendly policy than Obama.<br /><br />Back on topic, it may be a matter of matchups. Like Ali vs Foreman vs Norton.Matchups.<br /><br />I'd read polls showing Obama easily defeating any of the other Republican contenders;Paul was specifically excluded. He is the only Republican who can also appeal to liberals such as myself, and seems to also have appeal across the conservative spectrum.Osohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513535195785731541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-37803933213040583192010-04-16T01:20:28.488-04:002010-04-16T01:20:28.488-04:00There's the rub.
