Ron Paul Stabbed In the Back By the Republicans

It's ok, he wears political Kevlar -
It may have taken 34 years, but Ron Paul has arrived, and he doesn't plan to squander the moment. His agenda includes landing the chairmanship of the House Financial Services Committee panel that oversees monetary policy—a job that will give him the power to push legislation reining in the central bank and to haul Fed governors up to Capitol Hill for hearings.

The prospect has Wall Street, Fed officials, and even Republican House leaders worried that Paul's agenda could roil the markets and make a mockery of the U.S. financial system. This is a man, after all, who entered politics because President Richard Nixon bucked the gold standard in 1971, and now wants to make gold and silver legal tender. He is pressing for an audit of the Fort Knox bullion depository and, earlier this year, grilled Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke about the central bank's alleged funding of Watergate and Saddam Hussein's nuclear program. Bernanke called the charges "absolutely bizarre."  
Five GOP leadership aides, speaking anonymously because a decision isn't final, say incoming House Speaker John Boehner has discussed ways to prevent Paul from becoming chairman or to keep him on a tight leash if he does. If Boehner, who will help determine who gets to chair subcommittees as early as Dec. 8, rejects Paul, he may have to contend with thousands of grassroots supporters and dozens of younger lawmakers who see Paul as a hero. Boehner, through a spokesman, declined to comment. "A lot of the older members probably think Ron is a little bit out of step," says Representative Bill Posey, a Florida Republican and unabashed Paul fan. "The depth of his knowledge on monetary policy, his understanding of it all, is second to none."
The Real Effect
Typical. So very typical of the Republican Party. Ron Paul is one of the few individuals in the country that accurately predicted much of the current economic turmoil gripping the country right now. He single-handedly destroyed much of the competition during the election run up, dominating opinion polls to the point of being excluded, minimized in the media, and openly mocked by Republicans and Democrats alike. In addition, his candidacy helped spur the burgeoning, now co-opted Tea Party movement which galvanized the nation.

And the Republican Party want to EXCLUDE him from a position that he is supremely qualified for? That is the height of arrogance here and just demonstrates that the Republicans have not only not changed their tune, they're singing the second verse!

Which of course was predicted here back over a year ago and summed up here -
The original Tea Party however, becomes marginalized as the economic situation plays out with the right siding with the Fraudulent Banksters, big government and globalists because the problems were just too much, the banks were too big to fail and no one could have seen the crash coming.
The solution? Remove BOEHNER from power.
