Newt is evil because he spoke out against rightwing social engineering as well as leftwing social engineering.

Why, did Paul attack him for being against the Ryan plan when he[Paul] was one of the few Republicans to vote against it?

I hate Ron Paul. He's just... awful. He is an awful man with awful ideas, and I will be extremely disappointed if he becomes President.

No... cheap credit caused speculative bubbles to froth over all across risky asset classes, driving up prices. In more general terms, while the dollar has weakened, and will continue to do so - all Western fiat currencies will, at the rate we're going - it definitely isn't a sixth of its 2001 value.

So gold's value doesn't track the value of the dollar.

To bad we will have to put up with the Rand Paul spambots, though it is amusing how the so-called anti-Washington family has crafted themselves a Washington dynasty.

Nope. I am running based on Paulian principles. This movement won't stay silent just because Ron Paul retires. Eventually, sensibility will return to America and our freedom shall be restored. If Ron Paul isn't the leader when it happens, someone else will.

Very true, the freedoms will be restored, but I severely doubt it will be running on the Republican ticket when it is.

And then he can go sit in a corner in Rand's office on the Senate side. Around 2015 people will be asking about the old man who talks to himself in Senator Paul's office.

I approve him on a lot of point, like retreating out of Afghanistan and South Korea. Also because he is, indirectly, pro abortus.

Anyway, I disagree with him on economic view, lowering the taxes, spending less etc.
