Ron Paul: next president or protofascist? Overland. There’s a joke on the new tumblr, Shit Liberals Say To Radicals, that goes, ‘Sure, Obama’s not perfect, but consider the alternative.’
Followed by the fine print, ‘I did, it’s called socialism.’ It’s amusing, especially so given the debate that has occurred on Twitter and around the blogosphere this past fortnight. Le programme "anti-système" de Ron Paul séduit les Américains. Ron Paul, la revanche du libéralisme classique. Ron Paul: next president or protofascist? She Made Me Run! IT’S not often that a political wife presents herself as The Decider. There’s too much danger of straying into Lady Macbeth territory, as Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton discovered when some sniped that they were wearing the pants. But as Iowa reaches a crescendo, three Republican wives say they’re forcing their humble, self-effacing mates to sacrifice themselves to save the nation.
That might be believable, if the mates weren’t Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump. Ann Romney told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that she insisted to her reluctant spouse: “You know what, Mitt, you’ve got to do this again.” Mitt resisted, she said, because “he remembered how difficult it is and what the hurdles were going to be.”
