Don't look for the guy out front, look for the guy covered head to toe in mud. Thanks to the political machine known as Fox News/NewsCorp it was Giuliani for a while. Once we started counting real votes instead of partisans who bothered to pick up the phone during dinner, that frontrunner became Huckabee. Now that The New Republic is trying to smear a guy who wants to let out every non-violent drug offender as racist, we know that the new frontrunner is Dr. Ron Paul.
I've read a sampling of the newsletters in question, and some of the pull out quotes on race are sickening. I will go into my thoughts in more detail soon, but the smear goes beyond the attempt to paint Dr. Paul as a hatemonger. It also is meant to make ideas like dismantling the federal government, scaling back foreign aid to Israel and everyone else, and upsetting sacred cows like the Lincoln cult fellow travelers with bigotry. My best friends are Jews and I have dated many of them - and I still agree with Dr. Paul's argument that American money and help hurts rather than helps all involved.
