"It's the economy, stupid!" -- great article!!!

[politicallore]

As I was watching the coverage of the New Hampshire Presidential primaries tonight it was as if the commentators forgot to place their commentary in the realm of reality that is our present day America and decided instead to speak in the grand language of recording history. One commentator who will go unnamed was quick to point out that Obama and his wife invoked past scenes of the Kennedy years. Another pundit looked extremely pleased with himself as he compared the Clinton victory to the famous “Dewey beats Truman” headlines. These experts, simply put, are out of touch with what is going on in this country. They were attempting to give tonight’s results the importance of a significant event in this country’s narrative, when in fact this primary will most likely be forgotten in less than a month.

1. Anyone who thinks Ron Paul is the answer

isn't asking the right question.

2. haha

You really think that any other candidate would fix the declining dollar, or even be able to get out of this recession?

3. Considering the neocons put us in this mess

with their "drown the government in a bathtub" and "free market" bullshit in the first place, I don't see how Paul's Libertarian nonsense (which is more of the same) is going to help matters any.

4. Ron who?

What happened to that 'groundswell of grassroots support'? What did you Ronbots think he was going to get in New Hampshire, 20%? His dismal 8% would have put him in last place had it not been for the meaningless one percenters.

Oh, I get it. It doesn't matter if there were few people in New Hampshire who were stupid enough to vote for Paul because that's all going to be forgotten. And now you're looking forward to economic chaos so this idiot can save us all with what? A return to the gold standard? Ha ha ha!!!!!!

5. If he only got 8% in a state full of Massachusetts tax whiners

he hasn't got much of a prayer anywhere else, something for which I wasn't an atheist so I'd have a deity to thank for meddling in human affairs.

The truth is that Ron Paul is nuts. Oh, he's a stopped clock who's right twice a day when he talks about the Bush family war and creeping fascism, but he's wrong the other 23 hours and 58 minutes.

Libertarians should peddle his stuff on their own boards. They generally don't have much longevity at DU.

6. Paulards like to say he calls a spade a spade

That's what his pals at Stormfront like about him.

Excellent rant, BTW.
