Yeah, you know the powers that be are scared when they are trying to discredit Ron Paul by arguing esoterica about Abe Lincoln, and what Ron Paul thinks about Lincoln.

This is the same Tim Russert who has one of the most powerful seats in "journalism", and yet he aided and abetted the neocons when they sold the invasion of Iraq. Yeah, chubby Russ was busy waxing about his daddy and growing up in working class Buffalo. Yeah, whatever... this guy is no journalist, he's just a minor celebrity who wants to getter bigger and bigger paydays so he can keep chowing down on foie gras. When's the last time you heard of a journalist writing a vanity book and mash piece to himself, then using the media empire of General Electric/NBC to promote it? Talk about chutzpah! Russert's appetites obviously consume him, as does his self-worship.

You got to hand to to Ron Paul though. He takes the questions and gives honest, direct responses. Ron Paul doesn't mince words or flip-flop. What other candidate for President could discuss topics as wide ranging as the abolition of slavery in countries outside of the US, the gold standard, the Federal budget and how much of that budget is paid for from Income tax as opposed to other taxes and excise fees, and a strict constructionist position on the US Constitution?
