Ron Paul’s potential 2012 run is in the Republican Party, however, both Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan have run as alternative party presidential candidates in the past (Ron Paul as a Libertarian in 1988, Pat Buchanan as Reform Party in 2000) and Ron Paul is still heavily involved in alternative party politics.

In a discussion that included Pat Buchanan on MSNBC Ron Paul was mentioned as a potential 2012 candidate for President.
This is the first I’ve heard Ron Paul’s name mentioned outside of libertarian blog circles with respect to running in 2012. I’m disappointed that Pat Buchanan wasn’t the one to bring up Paul’s name. Instead he seemed to be lobbying for Sarah Palin.
Paul’s name was mentioned by the left leaning pundit who seemed to make some good arguments. Then again I’m biased when it comes to the prospects of watching the campaign donation ticker fill up with money on RonPaul2012.com in a few years.
Here is the video. Ron Paul is mentioned right around the 3:00 mark.

Mark Sanford, who was mentioned as a possible true conservative candidate for 2012 cavorted with the globalist elitists at the 2008 Bilderberg meeting. This is very unfortunate because those people stand for the opposite of what a true conservative would stand for. If Sanford becomes prominent in the 2012 race, my advice would be to watch for a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Any evidence of this, Eric? Unless, of course, you attend those meetings.

Dick,
It is widely accepted, at least amongst the people who acribe to these theories, that Sanford attended the Bilderberg meetting in 2008. I believe someone asked him a question about it on tape, see youtube.
Frankly, I think that is a ridiculous reason to fear him. Fear him becasue he hasnt shrunk government.

Does “cavorting” with “the elite” make one part of “the elite?” Is it better to be ignorant of “the elite” or privy to their discussions? Is Sanford also a lizard person?

I agree with Dick.

Hey! The new format lets me see who wrote a post while on the page for that post. Sweet!
I like it.
Also, I would like to see a video of “Coming on the back of the LP” actually coming on the back of the LP, or any member of the LP. I think this sort of truth in advertising is important.

It’s not a new format, I just entered the text in. Trent wants me to stop doing that though.

I work strictly behind the camera.

I volunteer:)

Oh, I really like it. I think that text is a good thing. Authorship is so important. I have my entire library sorted by author’s name. Even when I have to rummage through archives to find out who actually wrote a government report (they are notorious for not designating authors) I prefer to know who I am reading while I am reading. It is simply vital.
LibertarianGirl, I think that’s great, volunteering like that. And Coming on the Back can obviously hold the camera in one hand and do the deed with the other, so “behind the camera” is no excuse. Yay!

@1 and 3
Notice that the CFR Rag’s MOUTH is the one putting Sanford’s name into the mix. MARK IT DOWN, the fix is in. They groom both D and R candidates so they can’t lose.
Sanford is closer to an authoritarian (Hitler/Stalin) than a libertarian. WATCH HIM he’s not what you’ve been thinking…
