"Inheritance and environment direct a man's actions. They suggest to him both the ends and the means. He lives not simply as man in abstracto; he lives as a son of his family, his race, his people, and his age; as a citizen of his country; as a member of a definite social group; as a practitioner of a certain vocation; as a follower of definite religious, metaphysical, philosophical, and political ideas; as a partisan in many feuds and controversies. He does not himself create his ideas and standards of value; he borrows them from other people. His ideology is what his environment enjoins upon him. Only very few men have the gift of thinking new and original ideas and of changing the traditional body of creeds and doctrines.

Common man does not speculate about the great problems. With regard to them he relies upon other people's authority, he behaves as "every decent fellow must behave," he is like a sheep in the herd. It is precisely this intellectual inertia that characterizes a man as a common man. Yet the common man does choose. He chooses to adopt traditional patterns or patterns adopted by other people because he is convinced that this procedure is best fitted to achieve his own welfare. And he is ready to change his ideology and consequently his mode of action whenever he becomes convinced that this would better serve his own interests."

Human Action, page 46, Ludwig von Mises

Ron Paul would guarantee the Jewish vote got out to vote against Ron Paul.

Stupid move for Republicans, and Obama is in trouble with the Jewish vote.

Why would anyone want for the pervert Paul to win? He is a phony Constitutionalist and a Code Pink loser.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but he can win the Straw Poll at the Seattle Hemp Fest - but that’s about it. In the general election he will come in at about 1.2% of the vote, and most of those are from the anti-war Left.

Ron Paul Can Win

If all the other Republicans and the Democrats drop out or die, then maybe. But it'd be close.

The reason Paul studied OB/GYN is that’s the only way a geek like him would get a peek at a nekkid woman.

What has Paul done in the last three years or so that would change the following 2008 GOP primary outcome into a winner for him? Can you provide some specifics?

I have a blue Lexus with leather seats for sale that has 40,000 miles for $3500. Perfect condition. I just don’t like the color.

Send a check or money order to me and I’ll have it shipped to you at my expense.

No, he can’t, for one very simple reason: he is too short and unattractive.

In this day of television, height and looks win every time. There are no exceptions.

If that happened, Paul would still have a serious challenge from people writing in Pat Paulsen as well as the LaRouche kids.

If Paul wins, it will be because he bought the voting machines or the American public lost what little remains of their sanity.

Hmmm... the same Robin Koerner that wrote in the Huffington Post that Paul is a ‘Champion of Liberalism’?

Typical Paul-Speak, being all things to all people.
