Ron Paul Speaks at CoC
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul told students at the College of Charleston Tuesday that many see him as a radical candidate, but it’s mainstream politics that’s really on the fringe.
“It’s an extreme idea to start wars,” said Paul, a Texas congressman who has opposed U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Paul said central economic planning doesn’t make much sense, either, adding that he supports smaller government, states’ rights, and phasing out of the Federal Reserve and safety-net programs including Social Security.
I like Ron Paul. He is certainly a little out there on some of his ideas, but if we really get back to a country of lower government and personal responsibility I think he is the strongest candidate in the field.
