Yeah, I know: he's a Republican. But he has been the most honest and upfront out of the Republican candidates for president. He has also garnered a lot of enthusiasm from young people, and his principled dedication to upholding the constitution is admirable.
Some goodies:
Wolf Blitzer: Don't you want to see a Republican in the White House?
Ron Paul: Well, that's secondary to wanting the constitution defended, and wanting the country to go in the right direction, bringing peace around the world, having sound money and balanced budgets: all the things the Republicans have, you know, traditionally have stood for. All of that is more important than just having a Republican. We have to know what we believe in.
Wolf Blitzer: If you had to pick one of those three (remaining presidential candidates) right now, who would it be?
Ron Paul: Well, that's tough because I see them as all about the same. I would think the one who would most likely keep us from expanding the war is probably, probably Obama. But that doesn't mean that's an endorsement, because he'd spend the money somewhere else and his voting record isn't all that great. But you asked me the question, and I would say that he would be slightly better on foreign policy.
I know Ron Paul won't get a lot of love around here, but he has been one of the most honest politicians, and didn't use the opportunity on CNN to score cheap points for John McCain. But I think it is a compliment to Obama, that Rep. Paul sees him as the most able to keep us out of wars.
Kudos to Ron Paul.
And make some calls, y'all! We have the opportunity to shut the door once and for all on the Clinton campaign and the never-ending primary.
