Endorsing Paul, Huckabee, and Thompson yesterday, Joseph Farah admits his endorsement may be "the kiss of death". Thompson today succumbed. Who will be next? by creator

Yesterday, WorldNet Daily's publisher Joseph Farah issued a grudging endorsement of three candidates: Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, and Fred Thompson. With today's announcement of the departure of Thompson from the race, that field has narrowed to only Paul and Huckabee.
I have been "lobbying," so to speak, for Mr. Farrah to make up his mind. I wrote him an open letter when he published an article strongly and unfairly critical of Ron Paul, urging him to reconsider.
Whatever he does at this point, I expect a win-win situation. If Farah drops Paul and endorses only Huckabee, the "Farah Endorsement Curse" will no doubt promptly eliminate Mike from the race, even as it seems to have already done with Fred Thompson.
On the other hand, should Farah finally "see the light" and endorse Dr. Paul, the curse will clearly bounce off even as Balaam's curse against Israel became a blessing. Or, for you secularists out there, just like a reflected curse bounces off of the hero in a Harry Potter novel.
Perhaps by now Mr. Farah has heard that Norma McCorvey endorsed Dr. Paul today? The snowball has begun rolling downhill, the momentum is building. Joseph Farah, won't you come back to the fold? Please start drafting a unitary and positive endorsement for the one true conservative remaining in this race. Now would be a good time to put your full and enthusiastic support behind Ron Paul.

LOL. Mr. Farrah is a premillinialist dedicated to the futurist view of a Kingdom emmanating from Jerusalem. Dr. Paul would cut off aid to Israel as well as all others.
Thanks for your comment. It is somewhat amusing to see how all this is shaping up.
Cutting off all aid to Israel and simultaneously to all Arab countries would be a win-win even from Farah's perspective because there is presently a 3 to 1 ratio favoring the Arab countries.
If the US were to stop meddling with Israel, the world as a whole would be far better off. America would have far less enemies and far more money.
Some Jews agree. See for example this excellent article by Shimshon Weisman, "The Lonliest Ron Paul Supporter":
Couldn't agree more. Had read the article. I was commenting on FreeRepublic a couple of years ago, but was thrown off for suggesting we could help the peace process by moving Israel to another location. Foolish me, had no idea that was blasphemy.
Funny...I've been emailing with him a few times now. This was my most recent email I sent to him this morning:
I find it strikingly odd that while Ron Paul is walking in the shadows of those very founding fathers you mentioned (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison and, more recently, Ronald Reagan), you refuse to endorse him…but maybe that is a good thing since your endorsements seem to be more of a curse as you have suggested. It is absolutely stunning to me that you will not endorse him while many who hold to your same pivitol, important positions have done as much including many strict Constitutionalists, anti-abortionists (recently Roe of Roe v. Wade), outstanding conservative Christian leaders, prominent Ronald Reagan conservatives like Barry Goldwater, etc. etc. and the list goes on and on.
I think your real hang up is the Iraq War and the false war on terror. Please keep in mind Ron Paul is very strong on national defense, borders (no Hucksterbee here and Thompson is GONE!), anti-abortion, going after Osama Bin Laden (voted to go after him in Afghanistan), anti-taxation and the corporate and social welfare state.
The Hucksterbee is the only other choice you’ve got and other than the bogus Iraq War issue, Paul has him beat on every single one of the key points I’ve heard you write about.
