We need to draft Ron Paul. He gets it.
And we need to educate, educate, educate. Nobody who runs on a "get the federal gov't out of practically everything" platform has a chance of winning, until a majority of the electorate understands why this must be the goal.
Ron Paul is one of the few that would make me cast in my lot with the GOP ever again. I believed the "let's get some Republicans in there" hype in 2000. It was crap. Government is more bloated and more intrusive than ever before. And the same people who mistrusted government in the '90s are now its most tireless cheerleaders.
