Sure, fuck Ron Paul, but if you fuck his entire grassroots base I think you're missing the forest for the trees.

Ron Paul: the Venn diagram
By Cory Doctorow at 6:13 am Saturday, Jan 7
Mother Jones attempts a taxonomy of libertarian thought in order to figure out where Ron Paul fits. My feeling is that Ron Paul can only be understood by abandoning the traditional one-dimensions left-right political axis, or, rather, augmenting it with more axes: libertarian-authoritarian, centralist-decentralist, material-spiritual, and probably a few I've forgotten.
Congressman Ron Paul's third-place finish in Tuesday's Iowa Republican Caucus was a remarkably strong showing for a candidate who has so little in common with mainstream Republicans. Perhaps the nation's most politically unique congressman, Paul shares policy stances with conservatives, liberals, and libertarians, while differing markedly from all of them.

Please explain how that works. In mechanics. Or is that too materialist a question?

Damn, that is one of the hottest ads ever. Is this airing anywhere on TV?
