Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Again?

Ron Paul fourth from the left.

There was another GOP debate tonight.

As in all the others, the real winner was Obama.

The Gingrich bloom is withering, apparently, as the GOP establishment throws down on him.  His poll numbers are slipping.  He's still the putative front runner, but honestly at this point what does it matter?

The pundits are already looking around at Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman to see if they could be the next Not Mitt.  Ron Paul?  He spent the debate very sanely explaining why we should not invade Iran.  Plus, he wants to bring back the gold standard.  The neo-cons and the Big Money boys will squash him like a bug.

Mmmm, popcorn.
