Ron Paul is a Prick

clipped from thehill.com Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) complained Sunday about the notion that the government "must bail everybody out" and said Hurricane Gustav will not change his plans to hold rallies in Minneapolis this week. Paul and his supporters will be gathering this week for a three-day rally in the backyard of the GOP convention at the Minneapolis Target Center, home of the pro-basketball team Minnesota Timberwolves. Hurricane Gustav "won't change our plans any," the critic of the Iraq war told Fox News. The lawmaker said he is closely monitoring Gustav, but said any changes to his rally will not affect the hurricane or hurricane-relief efforts. Paul's Texas district is expected to be affected by the hurricane.

This illustrates something I've been trying to get more people on the left to realize -- Ron Paul is freakin' Newt Gingrich. He only looks good in comparison to Bush. Compared to just about any Democrat, he's still a right wing, reaganite nut.
