The Ron Paul Juggernaut

Ron Paul, libertarian extraordinaire, broke the Republican record for single day fundraising by pulling in a whopping $4.2 million (!?!?!) through an online campaign commemorating Guy Fawkes Day. I must say, that is such an awesome concept. Paul wants to abolish the EPA, the IRS and the Department of Education. Fawkes attempted to blow up the House of Lords and kill King James I. Linking these two anti-government peas in a pod is just magnificent.

Seriously, it takes a lot of balls to associate your Presidential campaign to a renowned terrorist that tried (and failed) to decapitate the English nobility, especially if your governing philosophy is seasoned with more than a pinch of old fashioned anarchy. Let me just add that, as a Democrat, if I cannot have Allen Keyes serve as the GOP standard-bearer in 2008, Ron Paul would make an excellent substitute.
