R3volution may be toast
Ron Paul maniacs should brace themselves. Today, could be the day Paul gets booted from Congress.
The 20-year congressman is facing a challenge from Chris Peden, the personable Republican mayor pro tem of Friendswood, who says Paul is out there “to make a point, not a difference.” Peden noted that out of 351 pieces of legislation Paul has sponsored, only six have made it out of committee and none has ever passed.
As Wonkette noted last week that “to many of his constituents in Texas Congressional District 14, Paul is just a blame-America-first attention whore who completely ignores the people who put him in office. There are no Democrats running in the 14th District primary today— so if Ron Paul loses, he will have the honor of being a double loser in the eyes of his beloved constituents.”
Yikes–perhaps Paul’s fear of the backlash his run for presidency wrought is the reason he avoided debating Peden. Here’s a video of Paul, flustered as he rants about why he won’t. His response? Peden should go “debate himself.”
peed-on and all his neo-con pedenophiles ..
we’ll know by days end who was right…
revolution lives on in texas 14th at least.
peden has been flushed down to where he belongs.
he’ll probably endorse paul again in the future if it suits him politically…
Great Call Felicia! You really seem to have your neocon blinders on when you take the “pulse of the people” .
