Still Crazy After All These Years

Of course Ron Paul has no chance of ever being president, but the following he has generated thanks to his off-the-wall ideas is far more scary than the man himself.

In the end he is just another Texas pol.

So don’t tell me about Paul’s political courage. It’s easy to be a fearless iconoclast when nothing’s at stake. That said, it was heartening to hear the Texas congressman, during a Fox News-sponsored Iowa debate of all places, stress the similarities between the current “bomb Iran” chorus and the 2003 propaganda campaign that led the U.S. to invade Iraq. Paul dismissed as “absurd” Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann’s assertions that the Iranian government’s “theology” would lead it to start a nuclear war for the sake of national martyrdom.

Dennis Kucinich is the Democrats' version of Ron Paul. He can take "courageous" stances because he will never be held accountable for them.
