Ron Paul on The Tonight Show

I don't like getting political on here but I just really like hearing what Dr. Paul has to say on a variety of subjects. This guy is sensible, honest, and consistent and for some reason I feel extremely comfortable with the thought of this 76 year old taking office. I read his book "The Revolution" after his presidential bid in 2008 and really enjoyed his approach to economics and foreign policy. It's those two important issues I pay most attention to when it comes to electing a President. I have a hard time with some of Ron Paul's followers, some seem a bit too overzealous and obnoxious but overall I have found the group to be comprised of level headed people from the right and the left of the political spectrum. I like that he pulls people from both sides. Click here for more info about him.

Ron Paul

I don't wanna get all political and stuff but I really enjoy hearing what Ron Paul has to say. So I'm making a post about it. I especially enjoy his quips and comments in debates. He ran for president in 2008 and made a name for himself and he is running again in 2012. Now I know it's too early to really get involved in the next election for some people but I really think it is important to stay at lease a little up to date on what is going on. I don't find myself to be on one side or another on the political spectrum in relation to how most people lump political views up in the United States of America; I keep it pretty neutral as I look for the good in different political parties while having a keen eye for all the fluff that is passed back and forth between them. I am constructively critical of a lot of things whether liberal or conservative. With that said...

I don't agree with everything he has to say, but the biggest and most important things I look at in relation to someone running for president (foreign policy, education, domestic economics, etc.) seem to be lined up pretty close with Dr. Paul compared to all the other candidates I've heard about on both the republican and democratic sides. Here is a link to some clips from the republican debate that happened on the 13th. Check out the Los Angeles Times' article here that talks about Ron Paul's applause level during the debates.
