Blessings Northern Boy,
Ron Paul is not a Republican in today's definition of the word, but he is definitely a roots Republican, small government....
(He did run in the Presidential race as a Republican so he could get some air time..you probably noticed there was no mainstream airtime for the Green Party, The Constitution Party or The Libertarian Party.)
He has not gone back on his word yet. He is known as "Dr. NO" in Congress because he will never vote for anything un-constitutional. He's been at it 30 years...what endurance!!!
He doesn't need teleprompters because his words are real, not some sick gobbledygook dictated for him to read!
PaL
My NEW Favorite Word!!!
Gobbledygook
Gobbledygook or gobbledegook (sometimes gobbledegoo, gobbledeegook or other forms ) is an English term used to describe
nonsensical language.
Gobbledygook was coined by former U. S. Representative Maury Maverick, then working for the Smaller War Plants Corporation, in a 30 March 1944 memo banning "gobbledygook language". It was a reaction to his frustration with the "convoluted language of bureaucrats." He made up the word as an onomatopoeic imitation of a turkey's gobble.
Examples:
Nixon's Oval Office tape from June 14 shows H. R. Haldeman describing the situation to Nixon.
"To the ordinary guy, all this is a bunch of gobbledygook. But out of the gobbledygook comes a very clear thing: you can't trust the government; you can't believe what they say; and you can't rely on their judgment. And the implicit infallibility of presidents, which has been an accepted thing in America, is badly hurt by this, because it shows that people do things the President wants to do even though it's wrong, and the President can be wrong."
