Ron Paul has been having a bit of trouble lately. So much in fact, he has had to curb his Presidential bid in order to concentrate his efforts on “Plan B” (and you Rontards can shut up already, I heard him say it) his Congressional seat, which by the way should enthuse anyone whom he is supposed to represent. So as a result, I get to hear his commercials, and there’s a lot of them, every day. Commercials that are full of stale 10 year old data or quotes, obfuscations, and down right lies.
Congressional Quarterly names Ron Paul one the 50 most effective legislators - first this is an 8 year old article that frankly is quite stale, and second the article is not a list of “effective legislators”. That list does not exist.
He is trying to tie himself to the Reagan Revolution by airing a sound byte that is at least 10 years old where Reagan states “We need to keep Ron Paul”. Again stale, this is the same Ronald Reagan that Ron Paul blames for creating the OBL, and Sadam Hussein problem. So Ron Paul expects that he can rail against Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy on one hand, and ride his coat tails on the other.
He claims he is the tax payers best friend, well that’s a stretch coming from the Pork King of Lake Jackson. 400 million in one year for trivial projects that Ron Paul makes the earmarks for, and then votes down knowing his buddies in Congress will pass the measure.
He claims he is tough on defense. Meanwhile, he votes down every defense appropriation, want to cut military spending by 80%, do away with the CIA and the Air Force, and reduce our forces to ballistic submarines. Hmmm, that’s pretty tough allright.
He claims he is pro-family and pro-life, while he votes down measures to prohibit and increase penalties for transporting minors across State lines in order to get around home State abortion regulations.
The truth even eludes Ron Paul when it comes to his challenger. He ignores the fact that his seat is in serious jeopardy, refuses to debate or even have a forum. But, Ron Paul certainly cried foul when Fox did not invite him to the Florida debate.
As usual, Ron Paul says one thing, and does the complete opposite.
Texans have a choice. I invite you to check out Chris Peden’s site at chrispeden.org to get the facts about the 14th district.

A blimp, a huge grassroots movement that never materialized, and a large wad of cash was still not enough to get Ron Paul any higher than 4% in the national polls. He managed to garner 4 delegates (3 were given to him by Huckabee). So what now for the Rontards? My bet is on them becoming Hillbilleries, or they will just simply sit this one out.
The great groundswell that has amassed for Ron Paul, the huge grassroots movement is still running at a solid 4%, garnering Ron Paul a whopping 4 delegates. Nice job! you guys aren’t spinning your wheels at all.
We have the answer. As the race is slowing grinding to a halt for the nomination, it has become quite apparent why Ron Paul is running for President. Ron Paul knew from the offset that he did not have a snowball’s chance at ever winning the Republican nomination. And it does not appear he is interested in the being on the bottom of the ticket either, none of the front runners would have him anyways. So why run? For the first time in many years, Ron Paul has a serious challenger for his House seat in Chris Peden. The interesting part of the story is that Chris is not a career politician. He is one of many that stepped up from the private sector when run away taxation came to a head two years ago because then city manager stood up in front of the State Building and declared that his Friendswood constituents did not want tax relief, and were quite content with increases in their taxes every year.
