An Anti-Hillary Blog Takes a Second Look at Ron Paul

Anyone But Hillary in 2008!: Could I have been WRONG about Ron Paul?

Its easy to dismiss Ron Paul when his soundbytes are taken out of context or you're constantly being reminded by official media reports that he's: unelectable, unreasonable, or unworthy of serious consideration.

But there is something past all that. There's a serious and principled politician (what a rarity!) who has sound plans to create significant change.

Over at "Anyone But Hillary in 2008," the author takes a second look at Ron Paul's position on the issues, and like a lot of us, he's realizing that its not so easy to dismiss once you start to see some of the details.

Dick Polman's American Debate: Iran report? What Iran report?

Dick Polman's American Debate: Iran report? What Iran report?
What does the recent NIE report that Iran has no nuclear weapons program tell us in this election?

Well, it says a lot about Huckabee!

Not only is Huckabee failing to stay up to date on foreign policy and intelligence developments, he's also showing his Bush-like tendency to cherry-pick reports that back his hawkish tendencies.

Despite being informed about the report, Huckabee still insists that Iran is a grave threat. I think Bush actually made a similar claim yesterday.

Oh, and just so Dick Polman knows: Not all us Republicans are trying to sweep this under the rug. I think a lot of righties woke up to this news today realizing we need to find a better front-runner (again). Kinda tough, we've been given some pretty slim pickings.
