Tucker Carlson's piece on the Ron Paul Revolution

Holy crap. That is one heck of an article.

I SOOO wish Ron would offer to take his picture with her... once we get to California's primary ;)
 
During the 1980s, as he ran unsuccessfully for the Senate and the White House, he became involved in a coin business, Ron Paul Coins. Numismatics, he says, is a labor of love. "You only make five or ten dollars a coin. You've got to sell a lot of coins to get rich. I was just promoting something I believe in." It's a rare person who admits something like this.

Oh hey, another small thing we have in common: we're both numismatists!
 
This is also a magnificent exchange:

Which is odd, because, in person, Paul doesn't seem like a freak. He seems like someone's grandfather. I first met up with Paul after a rally at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He apparently hadn't known I was coming but accepted my arrival with Zen-like calm, welcoming me into the seat next to him in the minivan and offering me baked goods from a plate on his lap. We were both finishing our brownies when he mentioned they'd been baked by a supporter. I stopped chewing. Where I work, this is a major taboo (Rule One: Never eat food sent by viewers), and my concern must have shown. Paul grinned. "Maybe they're spiked with marijuana," he said.

Who said Paul doesn't have a sense of humor?
 
Now that was a pleasure to read. That was a LOT of fun. He did such a good job describing how bad Air Force Amy wanted a picture I felt bad for her! LOL
 
That was a good read, but really, Ron Paul shouldn't be eating food sent by people he doesn't know. It makes me nervous. Am I paranoid?

Yeah, maybe Ron should follow Tucker's rule and not eat food sent by supporters. It really could be laced with marijuana. :O And we don't want Ron doing a commercial high, no matter how awesome it'd be. o_o
 
Wow Ron Paul truly is a libertarian lol no denying that. I bet he would be treated like the second coming of Jesus in the LP. The GOP is not a party of principle anymore, but it is the way to go if you want to win an election :)
 
The brownie's actually came from a catering service we hired for a private fund raiser earlier in the day. Our hostess graciously had some wrapped up for us as Ron had spent the morning fogged in down in Texas, ran late to Vegas and didn't have time for a proper meal. They were very good brownies.
 
They were very good brownies.

I can't resist the urge to suggest that if they did have marijuana in them they would have been better brownies. :D

But I wouldn't want to be high while under continuous media spotlight.
