Only Ron Paul

My friend Wayne sent me a link to a post on The National Review Online. John Derbyshire shares an email he received from an American expat supporter of Ron Paul in Europe. Mr. Novak might more accurately be called a worshiper of Congressman Paul. He cites and impressive list of things that only Rob Paul Can do.

Only a Ron Paul candidacy has any hope of focusing on fundamentals again, cutting through the web of confusion surrounding them, and eliciting any new, creative thought.
But only a Ron Paul candidacy has any chance of challenging and bringing into question the 'business as usual' attitude of the K Street lobbies, pork-barrel congressmen, and the spiraling bureaucracy.
Only Ron Paul has the ability to bring a new group of people into politics, people who are committed, like the Goldwater activists of 1964, to taking a different approach to government.
Only a Ron Paul candidacy has any hope of bringing new blood and new ideals into politics.
Only the candidacy of Ron Paul will open the debate on fundamentals, about who or what we want to be in the world, and about what America's role ought to be.
Only a Ron Paul candidacy will remind them (and us older immigrants) of the things that made America so great to begin with.
Only Ron Paul offers any ideals that could possibly overcome the racial, ethnic, and group-entitlement politics that are currently tearing us up.
Suddenly, the rest of the world will ask: has America given up its recent 'imperialism' and returned to the principles that once made it the beacon of liberty around the world? Only a Ron Paul presidency will allow the United States to write on a clean slate.
If Ron Paul were president, congressmen and senators would be less worried about what special interest is going to fund their next campaign, than whether they appear to be bought and sold.
Only Ron Paul can save Lindsay Lohan from her self-destructive ways and get her career back on track.
Only Ron Paul can prevent forest fires.
OK I made a couple of those up and I probably went to far. I mean does anyone really believe that if Ron Paul were elected President, Congress would become spontaneously ethical?
