My favourite is Ron Paul. He’s a craggy but agreeable congressman from Texas, and a huge hit among online nerds, libertarians, Facebook teens and anyone who appreciates a little ideological fresh air.
He’s an old-style libertarian Republican: against wars, against taxes, against abortion, and such a constitutional stickler he views most laws passed since Franklin D Roosevelt as a violation of sacred American freedoms. He gave Rudy Giuliani a near-stroke by suggesting in a debate that US foreign policy had helped pave the way for 9/11. And there’s an ingenuousness and wonkish sincerity that reminds one of a Lib-Dem town councillor from Devon.
And you really need to click the link to read what he says about Rudy!
