Can We Draft Tom Woods in '16?

I don't see how having an openly anarchist President should or will be any more controversial and unacceptable to the electorate than the series of openly Fascist and/or Socialist ones we've had this century.
 
For those of you comparing Woods to Paul, you're comparing apples to oranges.

We're talking a congressional seat in texas in the 70's to a presidential campaign in 2012.

Ron ran in a different time, and built a record and his district respected him.

Woods has authored a ton of stuff, immediately accessible to the masses, that would make him unelectable.

Don't get me wrong, I love Woods, just not for public office.

Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, those are the types of people we need to look at and bring forward as candidates.
 
He's way too easy to paint as a racist. There is no way he would run with all he has written on controversial topics.

Wait...Tom Woods is a racist? What did he say that was racist? I hope it's not true.

No, but he is a southern sympathizer, as am I.

That easily turns into him supporting slavery, hating blacks, being a klan member, hating Jews....and once the media starts it won't stop.

Oh yeah it's like Ron Paul, the heroin dealer, all over again. How scared the sheep must be of themselves.
 
The newsletters didn't stop paul from getting his seat in congress, even in adversity from establishment Republicans and what someone else said is true, a presidential candidate needs some time in office when they're not strictly establishment. So why not draft Woods to run for congress or the senate at a later date? Let him gain some more fans/support through his radio show for some time and draft the dude.

We'll figure out later if he's presidential material. Even if he wouldn't make it, I'd love to see him take down neocons and making them look like socialist hacks at a debate.

Well, I'm a southern sympathizer too, but that doesn't seem like enough evidence to convict him of racism in the court of public opinion, even up north. They were able to pull it off with Ron because of the newsletters, and even those inflammatory quotes weren't enough to convince most people (besides easily duped leftists who hated him already).

As long as he hasn't said or written anything overtly bigoted, I would think he'd be fine. Lots of respectable members of society are into civil war history/southern pride who aren't racists.
