In the latest interview with Ron Paul with Russia Today he continues making claims that reveal why he is loved by so many people dreaming of hearing the truth from our representatives.

Perusing several comments found on liberal and conservative blogs the sentiment seems to be of the form, “I respect Ron Paul for telling the truth, but I still think he’s crazy and would never vote for him.” I think that sums up the main reason he didn’t win the GOP nomination. People truly respect his honesty but he may be too honest for the average voter. It’s almost like voters seek liars rather than truth tellers for public office.

I’m reminded of Jack Nicholson in the movie “A Few Good Men” yelling “You can’t HANDLE THE TRUTH!”

Of course in my mind’s eye I see crowds of average Americans with sheep-like bodies wandering the streets on election day mindlessly chanting: “We can’t handle the truth. We can’t handle the truth.”

Hopefully in the coming 2010 and 2012 elections Americans find new respect for the truth. For a good start check out the interview below with Ron Paul.
