This isn't that shocking. Many politicians have jumped on the anti-Fed bandwagon.
But instead of ``ending the Fed``, they'll say things like ``reform`` or ``nationalize``.
Jedi mind tricks.

This is not exactly Ron Paul mimicking. Simply because they may share some of the same views?
Remember this is a primary race, they are all on the same side of the fence, just different on how far they are on that side. Many conservatives have the same opinions when it comes to the Fed and have for a long time, its just pertinent now due to our fiscal position.
But to call it mimicking? Hardly.

I won't be surprised to hear a lot of the candidates echoing RP. Let's face it, RP is getting a lot of attention and support. They want attention and support. The way to do that is to say the same things RP says.
How many do you think would follow through, or even try, if elected? My guess is none.
That's the difference. RP is serious about what he says. The others are willing to lie to your face.

I've seen it. I believe it's your thread too. Don't get me wrong, I am on the RP bandwagon because I believe he is the only candidate that has the Constitution at heart but let's not sensationalize. Mimicking is hardly what is going on. If we talk mimicking, then RP is simply mimicking old fashioned conservative values himself.
