I doubt if I’d like most of Ron Paul’s fiscal policies, but he sure as hell talks a good line. Check out his response when a very smarmy-looking debate moderator asks him about his: “electability … do you have any, sir?” (which spurred laughter from his opponents). In the video he gets a huge cheer from the crowd for a neat bit about borrowing money from China in order to finance a dictator in Pakistan so that we can bring democracy to Iraq. I keep thinking that it’s the right that needs to be asking questions of Republicans, not the left. And Ron Paul claims (with some basis) that he is the most conservative candidate in the running:
aging idealist. ai and education, open web, open publishing.
Paul holds his own and is always consistent and ethical. It’s sad that the noninees are preselected. The honest candidates are discredited and destroyed with a little help from the media and those threatened by the truth.
