Yep ... well USA got only a two-party system, so where is the variety gonna come from that means anything? Helps if it happens more within the parties. He represents what Reps used to be.
Uhm I found video of Ron Paul on Meet the Press ... they ask him all the tough questions and he comes out smelling like roses, if somebody wanna get a better feel for what he's about (four parts):
YouTube - Ron Paul on Meet the Press 1 YouTube - Ron Paul on Meet the Press 2 YouTube - Ron Paul on Meet the Press 3 YouTube - Ron Paul on Meet the Press 4
At the end he talks about the drift towards corporate fascism (soft fascism) .. how can he be for the rich only, if he speaks out against corporate fascism?? He is for individual rights, that's what he is for. Does any other candidate talk about this? No! Wonder why. Well just look at where their advisors come from!
He's on record calling Bush Sr 'a bum.'
Reagan was 'a dramatic failure.'
Huckleberry? He quotes Sinclair Lewis ''when fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross."
Also he talks about bringing troops home from Korea as well, and Japan, etc. Saving as much as income taxes bring in!
He says they left Vietnam and Vietnam is unified are doing fine, but they stay in Korea, and Korea is a mess.
Have fun
