Love him or hate him, at least Dr Ron Paul isn’t wasting time posing questions to Roger Clemens (video follows the cut).

Ron Paul is too far removed from modern American politics to stand a chance in any national election. Americans want handouts and he doesn’t want to give them. He also doesn’t want to pander to Wall Street, so he loses there too. No candidate can win without pandering to one of those two groups (particularly the second).
Funny to see Bernanke change his tone from last autumn, where he claimed the value of the dollar does not affect prices for goods sold in America. Now, he claims there is a relationship between the dollar and domestic inflation. Which is it Bernanke?
great article… thanx for your efforts! Always love finding others with a few brain cells.
i have bookmarked you and will be checking back frequently.

cheers!
Ron Paul, the former Libertarian who opposes the right to abortion. As a former Libertarian myself—former because I live in the real world, not an ideal one—I love seeing that some of the ideals do have appeal. Unfortunately as one of the other posters said, he ain’t got a chance. Neither does any other candidate who does not offer freebees to the middle class corporations. Well, another poster said that too.
I am abosultely shocked though. Please tell me that the head of the US Federal Reserve did not actually say that the value of the dollar does not affect that cost of goods in the US. At least tell me he excluded imported goods–then I would consider him merely foolish and not a complete boob.
I meant middle class and corporations…
Of course Ron Paul dosn’t have a chance. He never did. Listen to him talk and the other candidates talk and it’s obvious. The media mouthpiece of his own party didn’t want to give him a voice. And they end up with McCain. Who in the RNC thought Huckabee was the right guy to back? That’s going to be an upcoming firing/resignation.
Denvy, Fox wants the pro-war (and hopefully born-again in the US nutjob sense) candidate. That reflects their financial positions, investment goals and business partnerships. That’s not Ron Paul. Where’s the surprise?
