In a drastic departure from my aversion to hands-on politics, I actually like one of the presidential candidates. It’s official: I endorse Ron Paul.
He kicked major Republican rear on last night’s debate, winning 33% of the vote. In a debate split eight ways that’s a mighty strong lead, especially considering that he got twice the votes than did the runner-up. Most impressively, last week’s polls showed him with only 3% support among Republicans. Apparently he simply was not on the national radar, and now, after brilliantly showcasing his Libertarian aspirations, he is!
Paul is old-school Republican, eschewing neo-con “values” in favor of hallmark live-and-let-live conservativism. Following are highlights of his platform: I respect his vow to shut down the CIA and the Department of Education. It’s remarkable that in the era of No Child Left Behind and whiny teachers, Paul supports home-schooling as the ultimate mark of American freedom. Other candidates plan to implement regulations that would effectively choke home-schooling, while Paul will give tax credits to parents who educate their own kids.
Best of all, he will eliminate the IRS! ‘Nuff said.
