Sure, I’m not persuaded by all of Ron Paul’s policy positions. But, sod it, any candidate who happily uses the word mountebank in a rallying call to the masses has my vote*. How very splendid.
Today, incidentally, is the anniversary (alas) of the Boston Tea Party. More happily it’s the occasion for another Ron Paul Moneybomb. The last one raised more than $4m.
Here’s the good doctor’s message which is, sound money aside, not half bad at all:
Message from Ron (12/15/07) What an amazing mission you and I are on. What great ideas we uphold — the legacy of the most important thinkers of liberty in our country’s history, and the most important doers of liberty in America. At the top of that list are the donors and volunteers of this campaign. I could spend all my time thanking personally you and everyone who has done so much for our country’s future, and not scratch the surface of what justice demands.
