Juan Williams: Opinion: We live in the age of Ron Paul (NEW reprise)

http://thehill.com/opinion/columnist...ge-of-ron-paul

During the debates, Paul got Republican audiences to applaud his calls for legalization of drugs, ending criminalization of prostitution and getting American troops out of endless wars around the globe.

Ron Paul, I love that guy.

Good article!

But he kept referring to Ron Paul "leaving the political scene". I don't think that's true for one second! Nominated or not - he will NOT be going away. I believe he will continue to speak and tour, and go on TV. He is leaving Congress, but I do not believe he is leaving politics. No way, no how.

And in a tribute to the power of Ron Paul, 74 percent of voters in districts with Republican representatives now also say they want to lower the defense budget.

Yea, me too :)

Ron Paul didn't call for legalization of drugs but for the federal govt getting out of it as they used to be and as the Constitution demands. He argued ONLY when the moderator AGAIN specified legalization of drugs as a philosophical point of liberty. Philosophical beliefs and what he was 'calling for' are very different.
