Ron Paul Shapes Up As A Spoiler
Texan Ron Paul is looking more and more like the spoiler in the GOP White House race.

(December 20, 2007)--It wasn't long ago that U.S. Representative Ron Paul was an anti-war asterisk in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

Then the 72-year-old physician's campaign raised a record $6 million in a single day.

Now the libertarian-leaning Texas congressman is looking like a possible spoiler.

The Associated Press reports Paul has an eclectic, tech-savvy following and an astounding 18 million dollars in donations raised in less than three months.

AP reports polls give no indication that Paul can win any primaries or caucuses.

But his appeal to independents could make a difference in contests in New Hampshire, which votes on Jan. 8, or in Michigan one week later.

The attention is going to Paul, who pursued an interest in free-market economics and a career in politics.

Paul was noncommittal when asked how he intended to spend his surprisingly large treasury, answering he's getting ready to compete in primaries in 20 states on Feb. 5.

If other politicians and those that support them had the character of Ron Paul, America would not be in her last throws as a free nation. I'll accept neither a fascist or communist state dictating the affairs of a free society. My vote is to restore the constitution to its rightful place. I will be voting Ron Paul.

Of course, he will never actually get less than 10 pct anywhere as anyone with common sense would gather just on his antiwar stance alone, even though they claim he's in single digits (on completely irrelevant national name recognition polls) so the polls are manifestly nothing but brainwashing tools by the media lackeys of the ruling oligarchy. Still hanging onto the last vestiges of propoganda and brainwashing to try to hold down the bump from top 3 finishes in Iowa and NH. Gotta' love free press.
