This one will send shock waves through Hollywood. Totalitarian 3rd World Liberation lover, Oliver Stone, would support Ron Paul over the False Messiah! Stone is a supporter of wealth redistribution and government control of the economy. Ron Paul is an avid free market supporter. However, Stone is moved by Paul’s non interventionist foreign policy. The film maker is also surprising supportive of Ron Paul’s call to cut back spending!

Filmmaker Oliver Stone, known for his liberal political views, said he would vote for GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul over President Obama should Paul win the Republican nomination.

In an interview with Rock Cellar magazine, Stone was asked if an economic collapse would lead to the fall of the American “empire.”

“I think it’s a given,” Stone said. “There’s no way that we can continue this spending spree. In fact, I think in many ways the most interesting candidate — I’d even vote for him if he was running against Obama — is Ron Paul. Because he’s the only one of anybody who’s saying anything intelligent about the future of the world.”

Paul does make many valid economic criticisms. He is right about how nation building is a waste. But his defense of Islamic Imperialism and his naive Isolationism is a bridge to far. The fact that Far left loons like Oliver Stone would vote for him shows the type of people attracted to Ron Paul.

To make it a bit more interesting how about a drinking game? One shot for Newt saying “Massachusetts Moderate”, two for “Reagan Conservative”, or when Ron Paul mentions the Fed? Then again, most of us have to work in the morning, no need to drink ourselves into a stupor.

Or is there?
