- A CA Reader Visits Ellis Island, Finds
Resistance To Immigration
Another Reader Disagrees With Kevin
Carter About Ron Paul
From: A Reader
I had missed
Kevin Carter's reply to a reader, in which Carter
wrote,
"I
don’t dislike Paul, but I’m not supporting him. The
things he talks about aren’t going to win him many votes
(except maybe from a few rightwing eggheads and
John Birch Society members) so I just don’t see the
point"
Ron Paul is gaining a tremendous following, though it
is mostly on the internet ....still, internet types
have been known to vote in elections.
His support consists of a variety of different
political viewpoints which have overarching common
concerns.
Go to the average web straw poll, and see for
yourself what his numbers are (unless it is a poll such
as Horserace08, or
Pajamas Media, both of which have actually erased
his votes).
I differ with Mr. Carter to the extent that I don't
think people are quite awake enough about the
immigration issue that anyone can be elected solely on
that basis. But Ron Paul has that one, plus the
history of having opposed the Iraq invasion
from the very start ...not to mention his stance on
income tax, which has gained him the support of some
visible people.
