Why "Dr. No" is irrelevant

Here is a good take on the Ron Paul phenomenon- and exactly why the kooky Texan is irrelevant, despite the zeal of his politically marginal followers.

Sorry, there was zero substance to that article. Mr. Rothenberg did not report any current Ron Paul political position, accurately or inaccurately, much less attempt to refute any Ron Paul postion. Ergo, the article did nothing to to explain what makes Ron Paul irrelevant.
All one has to do is to hear Ron Paul promising to refuse to obey his oath of office by providing for the common defense to do that.

Once again, Dr. No is his own refutation.

Unlike football, a good offense is not necessarily the best defense, but you are at least engaging Ron Paul on the issues.

Stuart Rothenberg didn't even engage Ron Paul's positions that much in this "good take on the Ron Paul phenomenon."
Jeff, I'm going to stop publishing these comments. They're just giving a nutty candidate with no chance whatsoever whose ideas are so crazy no reasonable person would consider him more space than he's worth.

Hi Mr. Waters.

If I told you last November that Ron Paul would place second, would you have believed me?
If you would have told me that only one of the losers would lack the common sense to drop out of the race, and that that loser of losers would have been the nutcase from Texas, yes, I surely would have.
