Has Ron Paul Quit?

Lally Singh sends us to the inside-the-Beltway blog Wonkette for a quick take on a letter Ron Paul sent to his supporters. In this analysis, Dr. Paul has basically called it quits. "Late Friday night, Dr. Congressman Ron Paul posted a letter to his fans basically saying it's over, but he will continue talking about his message, and plus it would be completely embarrassing for him if he also lost his congressional seat."

That's good. Now, if only we can get Reaganomics recognized as the science that it is.

I more or less agree, but I am disappointed that Paul will not be out there embarrassing his competition by forcing them into awkward corners. This will not do well for our debate drinking games...

Considering the economic wreckage that "science and empiricism" have delivered to the door, I wouldn't be too proud of traditional economic schools of thought right now.

Funny, we over here in Europe have the same information, the same empirical data available and are applying the same scientific principles, and it seems to work for us...

That's only because you actually apply logic and reasoning to your decision making and aren't stupid enough to waste all your money on a third high-def TV and two wars on the other side of the globe. You just don't understand how much we need these things, er... yeah, i'm not bitter about these things at all, really.

I would love to see what happens with slave Reparations if he wins.

If there's one thing that's been keeping me up at night for the past eight years, it's slave reparations.

When John Nash won the prize, it was exactly like the Special Olympics.

Could $30 million possibly have been used to achieve less?

Have you seen the film "Chronicles of Riddick?" The answer is: yes. At least Ron Paul was entertaining.

Lincoln had a mixed-party cabinet

but it's not the same thing. Okay, how about Obama/Nader '08? Before you judge, say it out loud.

Being disillusioned is a good thing. And why should libertarians complain when someone runs off with their money? It's not like he signed a contract when you gave it to him.
