He wouldn't have a job for very long
Ron Paul should be retired already. Don't know how much more people expect from this man.
When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble?
When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it? Amos 3:6
He is a ZERO on the issue of drug decriminalization:
This implies he will also,Drugs are designed to dull our moral integrity. (Nov 1999)
Legalization makes America safe for Colombian drug cartels. (Nov 1999)
Avoid violating rights, but fight drugs more vigorously. (Jul 1999)
No medicinal marijuana - create synthetics instead. (May 1999)
Tolerating drugs implies abandoning children. (May 1999)
Societal self-help is like 1820s Temperance Movement. (Nov 1995)

A) Fail to protect our civil rights - the main casualty of the drug war
B) Favor professional licensing - doctors as state-approved gatekeepers
C) Continue the failures of the FDA and the abuses of big pharma and medicinal patents
(e.g., "More Rx support, to avoid cross-border drug buying." - protect BIG pharma)
D) Favor the large, intrusive police state and its perpetual necessity
He is a pro-intervention, big military guy.On January 28, 2010 he formally endorsed Marco Rubio, Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in the State of Florida.[21]
He endorsed incumbent U.S. Senator John McCain, Republican of the State of Arizona for re-election in 2010.[22]

Now, I understand and like Steve Forbes and wish he was our choice in 1996 (over Dole). I was excited about a long shot candidate who was an improvement over the others. Given the possiblity of Ron Paul, a metric $#@! load improvement over every other person on the big stages, Steve Forbes did not support him.
It is not pettiness that makes me dislike Forbes (e.g., "I supported Forbes but Forbes didn't support Ron Paul.") rather I am judging his character by the immoral act of endorsing Rick Perry over Ron Paul. Imagine the straight-laced Steve Forbes giving all his opinions about small government and freedom and empowering the individual. The Rick Perry endorsement is when he bursts out laughing and says, "$#@! you all - I was just kidding!".
Anybody who believes in just half of what Forbes has claimed, would have been a Ron Paul supporter. This isn't about 100%! It is about a sub-70% failing grade. Steve Forbes isn't close and I see zero point in having kind words about him.

William Weld? I thought he was more of a Rockefeller Republican. What makes him a libertarian conservative other than the fact that he is a social liberal? If that's all it takes to be supported by the RLC, then I guess Rudy Guiliani is a "libertarian-conservative" as well.
Perhaps Forbes should buy a clue. It appears that he hasn't heard Ron Paul's call to END THE FED!

If Rand does not win the Republican nomination, he should buck the controlled two party system and run as an Independent for President in 2016 and give Americans a real option to vote for.
We are all born libertarians then something goes really wrong. Despite this truth, most people are still libertarians yet not know it.
Why did the Tea Party pass on Ron Paul if they were anti-bailout and anti-Obamacare? Yet they supported candidates, Newt, Herman, Perry and Mitt, who supported the bailouts and the national healthcare mandate.
Most people don't vote for something. They vote against something or someone. So the question becomes with Forbes, what is it about Ron Paul is he against? We already know for most Republicans it is their misperception of Ron's foreign policy.

Put your money where you mouth is Steve. We could use another Theil.
Seriously, we need somebody in the ranks with campaign contribution calling SKILLS to stick it to Mr. Forbes. A 100k or better large contribution from Steve would not only be $$$,$$$ in the bank... but would also come across as a huge endorsement.

'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988
