It takes Dr. Paul exactly two minutes to mention the Fed.
Something really nasty and stupid calls in from Alabama at 7:00.
Shit boys & girls, at 10:00 he dumps the income tax.
At 13:00 he keelhauls the GOP.
At 16:00 he describes his Campaign for Liberty. From Serenity Wang:
The repercussions of Obama’s economic policy are yet to be seen, but one thing is for certain — his administration will not do the one thing that a government can do to allow the economy to recover as quickly as possible: refrain from doing anything. This would mean cutting back government spending, regulating, inflating and taxing. At it looks now, Obama’s $825 billion stimulus plan is only the beginning. There will be more spending, more bailouts, and an ever increasing national debt.
At 19:00 another neoconfederate state is represented by a caller.
At 22:00 he bullwhips the GOP.
At 25:00 a caller from Ohio mistakes him for a Senator.
At 28:00 a caller says Milton Friedman turned us into Guatemala.
He finishes by crucifying Ronald Reagan.
From Bryan Burrough at The Daily Beast:
Well, conservatism has now gone badly out of fashion, and with it, the power of Texas oilmen and politicians has sunk to prewar levels – pre-World War II, that is. George W. is gone, as is his father, as is Tom Delay, Dick Armey, Phil Gramm and a dozen other Texas troublemakers. Now, with Bush out of office, all that’s left of Texas political power is a sullen Boone Pickens and fifty-odd Congressmen no one’s ever heard of. Here’s how bad it’s gotten. The most visible Texas politician in America right now is Ron Paul. Ron. Frickin. Paul. Jesus.
And now for something completely pathetic:
The latest schedule for the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. late February: Possible presidential candidates include Rep. Paul Ryan (WI), speaking Thursday, Rep. Mike Pence (IN), speaking Thursday — he’s invited, not confirmed — Gov. Mike Huckabee, on Thursday, Gov. Sarah Palin, on Thursday — invited, not confirmed, and Rep. John Shadegg (AZ). On Friday, Sen. John Cornyn speaks in the early morning; Newt Gingrich hosts a screening of a movie about Ronald Reagan. Ron Paul and Mitt Romney speak in the afternoon. On Saturday, Rick Santorum begins the day and Gov. Tim Palwenty is an invites speaker. The lovely Ann Coulter speaks at noon. And Rush Limbaugh finishes the conference.
From jegan in the comments:
The Democratic Party couldn’t have picked a better line-up to put a contemporary face on the GOP. Creationists. Gun fetishists. Foul-mouthed, drug-addled, thrice-married guardians of moral virtue. Gay bashers. Anti-tax fixationists. Torture lovers. Anti-immigrant, closet racists. Tongue-speaking, snake-charming, end-of-timers. Semi-literate survivalists. Anti-environment, whale-hunting, oil worshippers. Should be quite a show. Where’s Joe the Plumber?
BTW, a jegan is a vegetarian that lives only on juices.
Sadly, old problems persist.
