I like most of Paul's economic thoughts.
I detest his broad stroke of legalizing all illegal drugs. I also don't care much for his open borders policy. I don't like his stretching of the truth about his own pork barrel spending. I'm pretty sure his foreign policy would give us suitcase nukes in most US cities before the end of his first year in office. Some of his interpetation of the constitution is debatable. I don't like his trying to portray hisself as a Washington outsider, for cryin out loud he's been in Congress for 24 consective years. 90 percent of his groupies wasn't even born the first time he went into Congress, most of them were still in diapers on this go round. A Washington outsider isn't someone who has accumulated nearly 50 % of his entire life in a seat of the US House of Representatives. I also think his lack of leadership is simply stunning, in those 30 someodd years he has only got 1 out of 600+ bills clear thru the process and signed into law, and that single one was to transfer ownership of a federal building to the local historical society.
I'm also concerned about his age, sometime this year he'll turn 79, that would make him 83 before his first term was up, provided at his age an anurism,stroke or other malady that hits old folks, never mind how the pressure and strain of the office might accelerate it.
When he doesn't get into the oval office on this attempt, the only one to try as many times and not get there is Pat Polson.
But other than that there isn't a thing wrong with the goofy old turd.
