While he chose to dodge the party and pre-empt the festivities of the first post-Labor Day Debate by announcing his candidacy at virtually the same time, Fred hoodwinked all of you, and shanghai-ed the real candidates. 

Congressman Paul and Gov. Huckabee provided some real fireworks, and you fools have had that completely obliterated today by a media that claims one of its own as its DARLING. What, exactly, has Fred told you that has convinced you he is the REAL THING? What has he offered that is different from McCain? How about differences between Fred and Duncan? And when, in the course of ANY debate, Dem, or Repub., has any one candidate won 33% of the immediate poll sample, as Ron Paul did last night? WHY HAS THIS BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORED BY THE MEDIA????

The only genuinely DIFFERENT candidate is the one who has identified the problem with the party, owned up to it, and challenged all of us to re-think the appropriate scope of gevernment. Someone years ago said something like, "That government is best that governs least"- smaller is better. Congressman Paul is challenging us to take stock of the mistakes the party has made in increasing the size of government programs and federal spending to the benefit of whom? The oil industry, defense contractors, fighter jet and helicopter industries, etc. 

For heaven's sake, if you are going to vote for an actor, go watch "JFK" again, and listen to the argument posed by Kevin Costner for the reason Kennedy was assassinated. Tell me it doesn't ring true fifty years later...
