Ron Paul, Presidential candidate, congressman, doctor, could he also be the next coming? Dr. Paul raised over six million dollars yesterday, in commemoration of the Boston Tea party, which was the biggest one day pull of all time. He previously raised over four million, which puts him at the head of the pack for Republicans. What impresses me even more is the fact that the people that organized this, and the majority of his other events are independent of his campaign. His revolution is drawing a wide swath of individuals from all walks of life. He isn't a populist, or an interventionist, or any other ist you could come up with. He is a hands off, small government, low to no taxes libertarian. While I don't agree with his whole gold standard monetary policy. I do agree with his foreign policy, specifically with respect to Iraq. He wants to pull out or troops,and tramp down on the rhetoric against Iran. Now tell me why ideals such as that don't have a fair shot in the Republican race? Check out this video below, it is from Google's speaker series, and it is just Mr. Paul telling it like it is.
