Been watching some clips of him on youtube. The 2008 Republican debates were amazing. He practically pissed off the entire venue with his ideas. Yet they made perfect sense to me. Bill Maher (as left as they come) had him on his show and called him his personal hero.
He squared off with Bernanke and made him silent with his polite yet vicious outlook on the feds strategies for helping the economy. I'm not really sure where I stand on party affiliation but Ron Paul could never become president. Hes not willing to play the game and no one makes it to the top with that kind of mentality.
He is politics I can believe in. My ignorant 2008 self was clueless.
He boldly said that 911 was not because the terrorists hate our freedom. Its because we are over there sticking our nose in shit that we shouldnt. He cited oil as one of the reasons. (wow)
Of course Giuliani ripped into him and asked him to retract that statement but I realized it was simply because he knew the public doesn't want to hear that kind of thing. We want to have a channel for our outlets of anger and no one is more ready to shove a flag up a terrorists ass without asking questions like a Republican.
That moment separated Ron from the entire group of debaters. He is willing to take stands the public cant swallow. He uses logic and facts and common sense. The others might even agree with him behind closed doors but no one would admit it and jeapordise their chances to pander to the ignorant right-wing public.
Ron. I regret not being aware of your awesomeness sooner. I wish for a world where you could be president.
