Counterpunch on Ron and the RNC

Jeff Taylor is a good guy who is hard to pigeonhole ideologically, but I think he’s an old-timey progressive who despises modern “liberalism” and has a soft spot for Ron Paul. Here’s his take on the RNC, which he’s reporting on for the leftist but interesting Counterpunch.

    It’s amazing how many progressives rallied around Ron Paul. The GOP could have embraced Ron and won big. But no. As many of us suspected, they’d rather risk losing to Obama than have to endorse an honest man who defends liberty.

    The irony that a man that’s not a social-conservative could bring such a great argument against abortion, yet the social-cons are lining right up behind the man that will counteract their beliefs – all in the name of ABO.

    This info is very helpful, Tom. Thank you.
