RUN RUN, RUN

This antiwar progressive is hoping for a Ron Paul victory in Tuesday's Iowa caucasus. Paul is crazy as a loon on domestic issues in that he wants to essentially shut down government services to the needy to conform to his extreme cult like libertarian beliefs. But he sure has GOP establishment heads spinning around their shoulders over his antiwar positions. The GOP and their benefactors in the Military-Industrial Complex are terrified that a Paul groundswell among GOP voters spells trouble for their trillion dollar war spending gravy train. All GOP Presidential contenders except Paul have been running around Iowa beating the drums for war against Iran because we need a new bogyman to attack, now that the Iraq war is over. Their quotes are eerily and scarily reminiscent of the Bush Administration propaganda and lies that caused millions of casualties and refugees in the process of shattering Iraq into the broken and failed nation it is today, all at the staggering cost of a trillion dollars, with a couple trillion more in extended vet benefits to come.

Any chance we could have a bi partisan co-Presidency of Barack Obama for domestic issues and Ron Paul for foreign affairs? That would be the audacity of hope.
