Moonie paper acknowledges existence of Ron Paul's campaign for most powerful office in world


The Washington Times, a newspaper owned by the Unification Church of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who allegedly is cuckoo(see inset photo), published a piece on our favorite son candidate for president, US Rep. Ron Paul, R-Brazosport.

We quote:

...some expect him to have an impact on the 2008 Republican campaign.

"I watched the Republican presidential debates with neighbors, and two of the five people in the room said, ‘Who is that guy? I really like him,'" said Republican media consultant Tom Edmonds. "My gut tells me he's a sleeper and will indeed have an impact on the Republican race."


Also:

Iowan Alex Gabis, for example, attended an event for Sen. Barack Obama, Illinois Democrat, in the Fairfield town square last week, but another candidate was on his mind.

"There is a Republican I like — he's from Texas," volunteered Mr. Gabis. "I don't look at the label. I listen to what he says. I think his name is Ron Paul. I like him. I'd vote for him."


And finally:

Sympathetic conservatives say most of the Republican establishment just wishes Mr. Paul would get lost.

"The Republicans have made a serious mistake in making it difficult for Ron Paul to participate in the debates," said Paul M. Weyrich, founder of the Free Congress Foundation, a conservative policy organization. "Do all candidates have to be in lockstep? It may be that some conservatives have now forgotten, but Paul actually represents the authentic views on foreign policy of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who articulated these views prior to the 1952 Republican convention."
