...and as he said in an interview a couple of campaigns ago, if you find him going too far, you can always vote him out when you've gotten as much Libertarianism as you want.

Comparing the recent events of the Democrats like Obama's power grab, which amounted to a despotic trashing of Congressional Rules in a complete denunciation of our Constitution, to Republican views that can be debated, is naive in my opinion. It's trying to establish a parity where there is none.
Ron Paul sounds good when he speaks about domestic issues; it's when he speaks of foreign policy and the U.S.'s place in the world that I do a double take and wonder if the man has any common sense.
Ron Paul's "isolationism" is not going to be workable in this increasingly volatile world. Ron Paul as Treasury Secretary could be a wonderful thing, but that's about it on a national level where I would trust him.
