It looks obvious

In an NPR report about Ron Paul the interviewer was astonished by the fact that during a rally most of the applause were when Ron Paul said that the constitution doesn’t provide for a central bank. It was obvious that Ron Paul position on the war, or when he use general terms when discuss personal liberty will generate applause - but sound money? the Federal Reserve? why should the young crowd even care?
The answer is simple - because they are going to pay the price, they are already paying. And the price tag is scary.
Yes, the war in Iraq drawn the initial attention to Ron Paul, but it is the economy which will make the difference. As the unavoidable results of on going war, and irresponsible inflationary policy becoming more obvious many people, from unlikely corners of the political spectrum, stop dismissing the call for responsible and conservative economical policy. It is interesting to see when the first tier candidates will understand that they have to adopt some of the ideas, or at least the terminology, to maintain their chances to win.

A good friend of mine sent me an e-mail, telling me about a support rally for Ron Paul he attended this weekend. He is usually not the type of person that join rallies, so he felt a need to explain:

Few months ago all I hoped from Ron Paul candidacy was that many people will be exposed to the message of liberty. It seems that it is happening - the on going war in Iraq, the recession and the feeling that the political course of increasing government tyranny is wrong - making more and more people get involved. I don’t know what will be the outcome of the Primaries but it will be shame if the crowd gathered to make a change will not used to build an on going effort to influence a real change.

It is nice to remind the MSM that the rules of the game are changing. Nasty biased remarks, mostly when they are unfounded, will be challenged and one’s professional credibility will be on the line.

I don’t know how significant this endorsement is, in today neoconservative GOP. However it should silence those who calling to remove Ron Paul from future GOP’s debates.

Mike Huckabee represent the worst that the GOP can offer - a big intrusive government that intend to impose its moral standards on everyone. In a disguise of free market advocate, Republicans - the Huckabee type - intend to continue the big spending orgy, the corporations handouts and the constant look for additional "revenue" sources. The man is a nightmare for anyone that  cherish freedom.
