If Ron Paul is crazy, why is he making so much sense?

Although I can't get behind Ron's characterization of why the terrorists attack, I am really liking almost everything else he is saying. It really strikes a chord. I love his straight-talk. I am SO SICK of the rhetoric in politics. When was the last time Bush spoke without a script? I mean it sounds robotic. I don't believe a word he says. I don't think Bush is the bad guy that everyone else thinks he is. Rather, I think he is more the fumbling idiot. A nice Texan homebody who bumbled into the presidency because of his contacts, powerful friends, and family. He is the "Manchurian candidate".

But forget about Bush for a second, he is a disaster in terms of PR and policy. Ron Paul really speaks his mind and when he says something, whether I agree with it or not, I believe what he says and I can tell he really thought it through. He is more of a libertarian than republican. Freedom, founding fathers, and limited government with a strong defense is his policy.

Here is a small exerpt from a debate last month. See for yourself.



I know, I know... Ron Paul! Are you kidding? He is SO radical! Well, that is only because we have been so used to business as usual in politics that Ron seems out in left field. Go back and read the Federalist Papers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalist_Papers) and it is eerie how similar Ron's views sound to those founding fathers.
