Hope
The US presidential elections are quite a long time away but the nominees for the parties are campaigning now. There are always outsiders. Right now there is an outsider that is creating a lot of excitement. His name is Ron Paul and he says he is a champion of the constitution. And I believe him.
I've known of him and what he thinks for about 4 years but he was pretty much unknown, even in America, until recently. What is the appeal? He believes that the role of the American military is strictly and only defense. He wants to abolish the Federal Reserve and the IRS.
He is a man of principle and as a man of principle we can predict what he would do in any situation because we know what his principles are. I agree with most of his principles and could certainly live with those I don't see completely eye to eye with. I do believe that if he actually became president the world would become a much safer place in a very short time. There was a time, more than a century ago, when America really was a beacon of freedom in an unfree world. American politicians have long since abandoned that in exchange for personal power, prestige and probably wealth too. Ron Paul could return America to that. We don't have anyone remotely like him here but if he were to win I would have a lot more hope for this country.

Ron Paul in CNN debate on June 5, 2007!
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor---he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation---he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city---he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.
--- Cicero: orator, statesman, political theorist, lawyer and philosopher of Ancient Rome.

Bento, I would have an evolution-denying Ron Paul berofe any of the other Republican candidates. And as a Spinozist he is still without equal, I am afraid. Just a lot more doctrinaire than you or I would be. What in particular do you object to (pretend you never noticed his evolution remarks) with Dr Paul? How exactly is he similar to Ross Perot and is that bad?Mike B is simply not running, so forget about it. However, McCain seems to have ended his faustian pact with the religious whack-jobs, and I find myself drawn more and more to him as I realise the full extent of the Coyote morning I have got myself into with Rom Paul.Verc, nice try but Dr Ron's denial of evolution coupled with his remarks about how he thinks The Creator should have done things (see the link) does not make me think he has made the leaps in the articles you link to.wcw, I am curious, how is Ron Paul racist? The US constitution I always thought of as a very universalist document, and as far as I can see a lot of his more controversial positions are based on an (entertainingly whacko) fundamentalist reading of that.

Ron Paul has a very slim chance. But he is the only chance I see on this side of the pond. The US government keeps creeping into our lives, not only demanding to be our mommy and our daddy, but our doctor and our teacher and our minister.
The US has become a pathetic shadow of what it once was, and the goobers running for office are no different from the goobers who have spent the last two decades making that happen. They're all molded from the same silly putty. Except for Ron.
It's a slim chance. But it's the only chance.
