Hotline After Dark -- Here's Ron
Coming in today's Hotline -- all your post-debate analysis, but first, Ron Paul was on the "Tonight Show" last night:
Jay Leno started off by asking him about his career as a doctor, including how many babies he's delivered. Paul: "About 4,000."
Leno: "Two noble professions -- Armed forces, doctor, how did you get into the sleazy one -- politics?"
Paul: "I got fascinating by studying economics and I figured we were on the wrong course."
Asked if he wants to abolish the IRS: "Yeah, that's a good idea."
On Iraq: "It was a mistake to go in. ... I still believe we should follow the Constitution." More: "We made a mistake. We should change it. We should admit it."
Asked his chances of winning: "I have my short comings but the message has no short comings." More: "There probably is a risk I could win."
Asked if he'd take the VP slot: "I probably wouldn't be offered one. It would be real hard for me to accept a vice presidency in an administration I didn't believe in" (NBC, 30). [EMILY GOODIN]

I am a career Naval officer who has been politically neutral for my entire life--but voting for Ron Paul is about voting for America and our Constitution, which I took an oath to preserve. I am now supporting Dr. Paul with my wallet--and my heart.
The reason that he is such a rising sensation is because his message transcends party politics. Ron Paul says that we need to let freedom ring and return to obeying our Constitution and the advice of our Founding Fathers, from which we have strayed.

I am a career Army officer in the same boat as, and concur with, J.P. For the love of liberty, please, please, please vote for Dr. Paul. This may indeed be the last chance for the republic and the Constitution as the founders intended for our nation. Even if Ron Paul wins, it will be an uphill battle to disassemble the DC gollum...but the fight will be on!
