Heh - I usually read TheStreet for its financial perspectives, so was surprised to find this fairly accurate account of the Fox News debates from last week:
And on a side note, this is one time when I'm glad Fox went for the action instead of tossing aroung weak talking point questions - with the exception of Chris Wallace's typical buffoonery, it was great to see that they went for questions that focused on the real issues Republicans are probably thinking about.
Though, of course, this is the reason I'm sending this out: :-P
Paul remains the only antiwar candidate and doesn't mind saying the war is unconstitutional. He thinks the war was a mistake. Why continue a mistake when the cost of the war is high in both American lives and money? he asks. He appears to be the only GOP candidate who's aware that Iraq and 9/11 aren't connected. Paul also seems to be the only candidate who opposes Bush's usurpation of power. He appears to be the only one familiar with concepts in the Constitution like habeas corpus or civil rights.
I read something last week that I thought really hit it on the head, whether you agree with Ron Paul's specific policies or not. It said something along the lines of this: "Why does Ron Paul seem like the only Republican on the stage who got a decent education, while everyone else seems like they failed out of high school?"
Or another bit I read that was similarly true: Why is Ron Paul the only one in the "conservative" arena who is arguing for a smaller government?
