This realization just sort of came to me.
We generally see how Dr. Paul is a different politician than most others.
But have you ever noticed how his political personality mirrors his approach to foreign policy?
He leads by example.
He avoids entangling alliances.
He refuses aid from anyone other than his constituents, and thereby becomes dependent on no one while also retaining the trust and respect of his constituents for doing so.
Compare this to the average Congressman, who is all about making deals, forming coalitions and drawing dividing lines in rhetoric. The 'aid' they receive from their corporate sponsors rarely goes to serve the constituents' interests.
Interesting?
