"Ron Paul is a genius"...I sincerely doubt that. He's just another politician. Ask Neil Boortz, another libertarian, what he thinks about Paul's stance. I'm a Republican who used to be a Dem. There are no genius politicians. But some will keep us safer from our enemies than others. Ron Paul obviously won't.

Huh? I never called Ron Paul a genius. He is certainly a hero and a man of principle, however. Though he is a superb campaigner (hence his repeated victories), he is not a vote-grubbing politician. Back in the 1980s, for example, Paul used to vote against NASA even though many people in this district worked for the Houston space center. There are many examples like this. Ron Paul, unlike most of his colleagues, is not afraid to go against the tide.

Neal Boortz, of course, is entitled to call himself a "libertarian" just as much as Hillary Clinton is entitled to call herself a "moderate." I disagree with both claims.
