I don’t have too many issues with Ron Paul’s economic / libertarian views, it’s when he starts speaking about cultural issues and foreign policy that he makes me nervous.

The problem with a libertarian and foreign policy is I have the feeling that libertarians aren’t likely to appreciate the need of following a set structure of protocol to ensure that no one is offended.

yeah, the Founders were rubes. We’re better off spending hundreds of billions annually in a Quixotic bid to shape world governments. Why shouldn’t we get thousands of Americans killed and tens of thousands of Americans wounded establishing ‘Islamic Republics’, and defending arab kings? I mean, it’s not like we have to borrow trillions of dollars from other nations that don’t have our interests at heart to do it or anything. What’s the worst that could result?

Same here. I agree with him on economics but I have to cover my face and groan when he starts pouting off about the other stuff.

I agree. He's completely looney on a lot of things, but on this unemployment number, I suspect he's right.
