Why would any progressive promote Ron Paul's worldview?

88. Here is what happened

"A drowning person will grab even the hilt of a sword." Many of the left, those who have been Hippie Punched, see that Obama will NOT go left, and that the alternatives (Clinton) would not do so either. They are so desperate to upset the apple cart that they are willing to risk the storm, as they hope that they would have a fighting chance in the chaos, that maybe when Yanks lose their comfrt, they can open their mind.

The sad fact is, History disproves that: Russia has become the arch capitalist, as has China. The masses will tinhk even LESS when they are umcomfortable and starving, something Unions understaood, but many activists have forgotten. I understand they are so hungry for anyone who will entertain the end of militarism that they eat garbage, but we all know that Wall Street would go right on, even if they had to take tax money to fund their own militaries (and you know they want to, ask Blackwater).
