SIR – Why cast Mitt Romney as a potential front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 (“Fired up, ready to go”, February 27th)? I don’t see how his millions of dollars, a failed bid for the presidency in 2008, a series of dismal performances in that year’s debates and second place in this year’s poll of conservative activists make him worthy for consideration.
Moreover, your use of the term “radical libertarianism” was disturbing. While I would not join the mobs at a tea party, I do know there is nothing inherently “radical” about libertarianism. Why cast the philosophy in such a bad light? Free trade, limited government, personal responsibility, the rule of law and free markets are fantastic aspects of Western civilisation. Pity the American libertarian.

"Extreme" is just the Mainstream Media code word for "opponent of the banking cartel".
Ron Paul won this years CPAC debate. That merely prompted the organisers to suggest that the under 25s should be ineligible to vote.
Fox News also tried desperately to spin the result as pathological or silly.
If you want to hear positive coverage of Ron Paul, I'm afraid you won't get it on the MSM as it stands today.
However, Ron Paul does make regular monthly appearances (by phone) on The Alex Jones Show. His videos can be found on the Alex Jones youtube channel.
Blimey thats twice in the MSM in seven days
