I remember seeing the first James Bond movie in 19.., I will not show my age. I went to the theater and it cost $.35. Yes, I am an old FART!
But I digress....the new "Dr. No" is Dr. Ron Paul. He got the name by voting NO on all issues that were unconstitutional, at least as he saw them. He is a big proponent of following the Constitution to the letter. in the beginning he was seen as a minor player and not taken too damn serious. However, his stand against the war and for smaller government and his confrontational style kept him in the news.
Now he is being seen as a real candidate. Why? The internet! Using the internet masterfully, Paul has raised more money than McCain and he has widened his appeal to the young voter, who like what he is saying. At his appearances the crowds are getting larger and larger, he is becoming a force that the GOP will have to deal with and soon.
In the beginning, I liked his style of debate; confrontational, passionate and well documented. I am not a repub by any stretch of the imagination, but from the start he was what I like in a politician. Will I vote for him. NO! But the GOP could do a lot worse than Paul as their nominee. And they probably will!
Just like the Dr. No in the 007 movie, he is thwarting everyone who tries to keep him from his mission. I wish him luck and I really enjoy being right once and while.
