(62,325 posts)why is there no Democrat on the national stage saying the things Paul is saying about the Security State, the forever wars, the corrupt Economic system, the failed, racist Drug war and basically all of the issues that once were the issues the Left was concerned about. The fact that Paul could work with people like Kucinich and Grayson on some of these issues demonstrates that he is the one speaking to a national audience about issues that are the fundamental causes of many of the major problems that have contributed to pretty much all the problems facing this country today.
But it's been all but impossible to get people to face that fact so instead we are presented with Greenwald's life story, and Paul's history as if these were the issues. They are not.
