I DO worry a lot about countries like Portugal so I hope you are fine.<br /><br />Ron Paul is interesting in a lot of ways (and I LOVE his commercials on the air here in Minnesota in advance of the caucuses—VERY youth oriented.) But the fact he is a gold bug is a deal-breaker for me. I intend to write a post on why the gold bugs should be ignored but I am still working on it. But you are right, he is a LOT more enlightened that the other three (and the three who have already left.)Jonathan Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217670446743983955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413935813892441553.post-53558777299858664422012-01-26T10:21:35.056-06:002012-01-26T10:21:35.056-06:00a slight correction, since Açores (Azores) is Port...a slight correction, since Açores (Azores) is Portugal the distance is just half an ocean.Luís Ferreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657847084544778567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413935813892441553.post-28292769671379603092012-01-26T10:06:06.386-06:002012-01-26T10:06:06.386-06:00For most of the western Europeans been a communist...For most of the western Europeans been a communist was never synonymous with been the devil incarnated, and although it might be strange for a European to like a republican candidate, I have to say that Ron Paul gave a very good answer (rational, progressive, practical, intelligent).<br /><br />I guess this type of answer wont serve Fidel because he also benefited with all this years of confrontation.<br /><br />In my humble perspective, (very humble because there's an entire ocean separating Portugal from the usa) its not honest to compare Ron Paul to the other 3 fascists.<br /><br />Strange days indeed (john Lennon) when a lefty European prefers a republican candidate for president of the good ol' usa...<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for a wonderful and enlightening blog!Luís Ferreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657847084544778567noreply@blogger.com
