The maddening FOX debate is still going on, but Ron Paul has already won far more than that by calmly and eloquently speaking truth to power. His call for getting rid of the Departments of Education, Energy, and Homeland Security was magnificent, when the others couldn't name one federal typewriter they would sell-off. But Ron's persuasive (if not to the fascist Giuliani and the brownshirts in the audience) discussion of the immorality of US intervention in the Middle East, and the hatred and blowback it has caused, was one of the great moments in the history of modern American politics. UPDATE: Carl Cameron on Fox is saying that this debate showed that Ron Paul should be banned from future debates, as SC Republicans were arguing. Can't have anyone saying the clear and compelling if un-PC truth about the "war on terror." [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
