With such "over the edge" stances, Paul will be out of contention after Iowa.

Smells like desperation to me.

lol... Paul haters.

Ending the fed, social security, and measures to stop the debt bloodbath aren't radical. Throughout the annals of history, countries, civilizations, have landed on the trash heap because they were debt ridden and refused to deal with it.

No one is "hating" Ron Paul. It is his words that are being published. This country is not ready for a 180 degree turn in areas of foreigh policy, et al. I actually agree with some of his stances, but he deifinitely goes over the edge on others.

Too much fail in this article.

"This monetary crisis is well known by the international bankers. They want the U.N. to come in and solve this problem," he said. "The dollar will probably eventually disintegrate and be taken over. But I don't want the U.N. issuing that currency."

What did the UN do in Libya? Installed Al Qaida and opened a Bank even before Quadaffi was overthrown! When the dollar crashes what would you expect to happen here? The same thing.

Economists note that Paul's long-standing proposal to return the dollar to a gold standard would force the United States to relinquish control of its currency.

Bullshit! It would force Congress to both control the currency and reign in spending, something they currently don't want to do.

"We would still have monetary policy - it would be set by gold miners in South Africa and Uzbekistan, rather than bureaucrats in Washington," said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist with JPMorgan Chase." If you like what OPEC means for oil prices, you'd love what the gold standard would do to financial markets."

Fuckin' JP Morgan? They ARE THE ENEMY! Why would ANYONE listen to their advice? They got a 12 Billion dollar bailout from the FED, why should I take the advice of people and institutions who fail?

And do you see the lie there? Our monetary policy isn't set by bureaucrats in Washington. It's set by The Privately Owned Federal Reserve Bank! Which is destroying the dollar through massive dollar printing and devaluation! So the UN and the IMF can take over our money supply! Wake the fuck up! The Fed and the Bankers work for the UN and The IMF and most importantly THEMSELVES! Not US!

Brown people in Turbans over there in the Big Sand Box aren't our enemy. No, our Nations enemies wear $5000 suits, have economic degrees from Harvard and work at the Federal Reserve, IMF and UN.

No, it's his words being spun and rephrased in the worst possible terms, by the monied elite and their willing pissbois in the lamestream media.

I know I already thanked your post, but just to re-emphasize my p.o.v...

But Paul's dark-horse presidential bid ultimately could founder, analysts and others say, because of increasing questions about how his unorthodox vision of government would work in the real world.

Indeed.

In fact, it won’t. Paul’s ‘vision’ of government is naïve and reactionary; it would be completely unworkable in the real world.

While JP Morgan may not be our friend, neither is causing a severe contraction in the money supply, leading to depression and deflation. The gold standard is 19th century economics. Need we dust off the "Cross of Gold" speech?

Just what we need........a president who also is a conspiracy theorist isolationist.

Ironic that a Marxist twirp who has the gall to have the Bill of Rights for an avatar should declare the authors of that document "naïve and reactionary"...Especially given that such governance worked quite well for 150 years, before progressive/socialist know-nothings started ignoring it.
