Via Politico, the key bit’s at 4:00. Can we now safely agree that Perry went too far? When Ron Paul is taking shots at you for being fringe-y, you’ve crossed a line that no man should cross.
Except maybe in libertarian Waterworld.
“Now they have this other governor, I can’t remember his name,” Paul joked. “He realizes that talking about the Fed is good, too. But I’ll tell you what, he makes me sound like a moderate. I have never once said Bernanke has committed treason. But I have suggested very strongly that the Federal Reserve system and all the members have been counterfeiters for a long time.”
Old theory: Ron Paul’s too radical to win New Hampshire. New theory: Ron Paul — the great centrist hope?
Incidentally, and apropos of nothing, I’ve been thinking about libertarian Waterworld all day. Specifically, which country’s going to be the first to invade and annex it? Presumably it’ll be located off the coast of the United States, so far-flung foreign powers would have a hard time of it. What about Venezuela, or maybe Cuba? That’d be a fun project for the Castro boys. A last hurrah, if you will.
