In every presidential race, there are the entertainers-candidates with no shot of winning whose mere presence is to excite the crowd and keep American’s watching at home from falling asleep. This year, we’ve witnessed Mike Gravel on the left and Ron Paul on the right. Although I have appreciated the outbursts from both of them, I’ve become a little annoyed at the growing adoration that democrats seem to have for Ron Paul. To be clear, I don’t expect many to vote for him over Billary or Barack, but the way liberals have crowned him the morally superior republican simply because of his adamant opposition to the Iraq War is just plain ignorant. If liberals knew anything at all about Dr. Paul, their idea about him might change. What would be some of his plans for the country? Let us review:
He wants to abolish the Department of Education, Medicaid and Medicare. You better start saving!
He wants to cut all federal funding for abortions and stem-cell research. Viva the hospital in the back way alley!
Homosexuals definitely aren’t adopting children. Sorry Steve, you didn’t make the cut.
There would be no section requesting your race on college applications. Sorry Jamal. I guess it’s time to hit the books
Welfare from the federal government – I don’t think so.
If an illegal alien gets hospitalized, you better call the Feds. Get stabbed Pablo; Walk it off!
And by the way, he sure isn’t taking us into Darfur to help the Sudanese.
Now this is just the tip of the iceberg on the views of a traditional libertarian. I suggest liberals learn the issues before anointing a candidate whollier than thou.

Mr. Henry, as a man who considers himself both liberal and somewhat politically aware, I must say that your indictment of liberals is off-base. I too was impressed with Ron Paul's stance on the Iraqi War, however my excitement was quickly quenched upon further investigation. He is obviously not the liberal leader one may think he is by examining his position on Iraq, but, lets not jump the gun and accuse liberal voters of praising the man. And if there are "liberals" who do still think he is a moderate candidate, hopefully people like you will continue to get the word out.
