“The Paleocon Dilemma”

by Travis Prinzi on January 7, 2008

[Walter] Jones’s story is a classic example of the paleo dilemma. For breaking with President Bush and the Republican congressional leaders on an issue [Iraq] that for many Americans defines the Left-Right divide, he is called a liberal by politicians who in many cases have less conservative records than he. Jones responds to the attacks by distancing himself even further from the GOP leadership with which he has grown disillusioned, sometimes voting with a minority of Democrats and just a handful of members of his own party.

~ W. James Antle III, “The Paleocon Dilemma

On another note: I wish lunatics who happen to support Ron Paul would shut up and stop saying things like, “9/11 was an inside job.”  Here’s a lesson: when Bill Clinton calls you nuts, and he’s right - you’ve hit rock bottom, and it’s time for some therapy.  Another note to said lunatics: Ron Paul does not think 9/11 was an inside job; so please shut up and find a different candidate if you need to.
