Not a word of this is suprising at this point. It is inspiring to know Americans can still catch fire politically. Politicians with an ideology as strong as Paul's are getting hard to come by. Either that or the ideology is hard to see for all the rhetoric and flag waving.
It figures Paul what would click with the independant dissenters, or a segment of them. It all sounds great to their ears and I have great respect for that. But the business about eliminating taxes, the Dept of Ed, and ending the war NOW with no disclaimers sit in my stomach like a bowling ball, however, that is hard to eliminate.
What else is there that show the limits of the ideology--or throw into a light where there is darkness? I'm listening. But I've seen this before, everybody has, the "old school," in a way making a comback--putting some flint in the political spine, but to what end?
But no, I am still not convinced. I suspect he is running more as a Supreme Court nominee than a presidential candidate. The problem with flint is that it cracks easily.
