Gag!

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Utopia Planitia) has won a TWT (TWiT?)//CPAC Republican Straw Poll for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Fat chance.

While I don't expect the support of Paulista nut jobs to actually translate this into significant numbers in the Iowa Caucuses, much less delegates to the 2012 Republican convention, this is a warning that the lunatic fringe is alive and well in the Republican Party, and must be militantly opposed by those of us who are in actual contact with reality.

Isolationism is not cool. Naiveté with regard to the geopolitical realities of this planet is not cool. Even mentioning a guy in connection for the presidency who allowed a newsletter to go out under his name for years with overtly racist and morally repugnant content without even taking notice is not cool.

Ron Paul is absolutely not cool- and if my some satanic miracle he were to become the Republican nominee for President, I would vote for Barack Obama in a New York minute.

A Ron Paul candidacy for president is a threat to the national security- indeed, the national existence- of the United States, and it behooves Americans of all political philosophies and even an ounce of common sense to stand against this threat, no matter how remote it may be.
