Wait, Did Ron Paul Just Make Sense?

July 22, 2009 – 12:28 am

The opportunity is there for a new spokesperson for the right to emerge. I hope that spokesperson is not Ron Paul. But that doesn’t change the fact that Paul makes some very good points in arguing against the Obama Administration’s disastrous economic program.
