Liberty Maven

The second part of Ron Paul’s New York Times interview with the Freakonomics blog demonstrates why the man garnered so much support for his GOP primary campaign. Try the following experiment.

First, do an online search for video interviews from President-elect Obama and our current President Bush. Pick one of each to watch. Then, go read the Ron Paul interview with the New York Times.

Your discovery will be that Ron Paul is open, honest, and forthright with his answers compared to the others. That aspect of Ron Paul’s personality is what endeared him to so many, but certainly not enough people.

I don’t care that he is considered too old to run in 2012. He’s also wise beyond his own increasing age. The Republican Party nominated the wrong person, and the American people elected the wrong candidate. I don’t mean to idolize the man. I’ve been fairly critical of him over the past year and a half  here at Liberty Maven, but I find myself repeating in my head (and now here) the words on the best homemade rally sign of Ron Paul’s campaign.

Ron Paul Is My President.
