Save America! Ron Paul For President!

While Democrats and Republicans on the Hill continue their "Yeah but now I'm against it" routine, Texas Congressman Ron Paul doesn't have to issue any apologies. He was always against the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and he's running for president.
Paul is a libertarian Republican who constantly enrages the GOP because he actually believes in a small federal government and sound fiscal policies. He's anti-death penalty, anti-drug laws, anti-police state , anti-Patriot Act and anti-anything that's not authorized by the Constitution. Texas Dems now love him for his "principled anti-war stance," while pro-abortion voters don't need to worry about the obstetrician/gynecologist's strong pro-life stance -- he knows the federal government has no right to get involved in such stuff. And as California just proved, states can figure out universal health care and global-warming rules while the federal government can't do anything.
In 1988, Paul got the third-most votes after Bush 41 and Dukakis. It was only 0.5%, but still! Plus, Ron Paul writes a great column and goes on the Alex Jones show now and then and freaks out everybody.
