Why are people passionate about Ron Paul?
Because Ron Paul — a lifelong libertarian conservative — represents more and more people who realize that George W. Bush's brand of Republicanism should be called big government Republicanism. The post-9/11 expansion of federal power combined with the ill-conceived pre-emptive invasion of Iraq — when we had not been attacked by Iraq — are decidedly non-conservative actions. But, in the afterglow of 9/11, these libertarians were drowned out in the rush to embrace President Bush and show the world a united front.
Then there's this:
Ron Paul is the hottest GOP candidate at the moment.
But, and this comes at the end, after all the build up, he gives his caveat on how Ron Paul will do:
He will do better than the so-called MSM believes — who cares what these guys think anyway? But Paul will not do as well as his supporters hope.
Well, he got most of the column right at least!!!:D
