Politicians don't amount to much," Paul once said, "but ideas do."
In other words, for Paul, it's about the message, not the office, says Ford O'Connell, chairman of the conservative Civic Forum PAC in Washington, D.C. "His intent is not to seek further office. He's trying to start a conversation about the direction of the country and the GOP."
Paul is running "to be a public proponent for his libertarian ideas about money, taxation, the purpose of government," says Brian Doherty, a senior writer at libertarian Reason Magazine and author of the forthcoming book "Ron Paul's Revolution." "He's always wanted to be a powerful spokesman for the ideas he believes in…. Running for president is a ... successful way to get that message out."
What, exactly, is "Ron Paul Republicanism"? Paul's philosophy is a unique mix of traditional conservatism and libertarianism. A strict constitutionalist, he wants to eliminate five federal agencies, along with the Federal Reserve. Less popular with the GOP are his proposals to end all military engagements overseas, repeal the USA Patriot Act, and end the war on drugs.

Home Business EntrepreneurThe "War On Drugs" by the Federal Government is failing just as "Prohibition" against the saleof alcohol previously failed in America. All "Prohibition" did was create power for Al Capone and criminalize people who didn't need to be criminalized. If individual states decided to legalize, regulate and tax the use of marijuana for example, the power of the Mexican drug cartels would be broken. Mar 16th 2012 18:10 |
