Ron Paul has been a professional nay-sayer in Congress, and that’s not a bad thing – saying ‘no’ is the appropriate response to 99% of what Congress proposes. He has the libertarian fundamentals down pat, and again that’s not a bad thing. However, he seems to assume that libertarianism supplies all the answers to everything and so applies it to foreign policy, and thereby comes across like the crazy Uncle one tries to avoid at family get togethers. I doubt he is an actual anti-semite, but if he doesn’t recognise that Israel is our key ally in the Middle East then he has no business anywhere near the White House – same as the current pretender.
