Ron Paul is too much of an idealogue to be an effective executive. He’s good at reinforcing principles no doubt and he has surprised me with how successful he’s been in communicating ideas. The fact that the GOP establishment doesn’t embrace him has been a blessing in disguise. Ron Paul gets invited to shows on channels like MSNBC and CNN, where he sounds off on limited government and the Constitutional principles to a liberal audience! I personally think it’s healthy for his ideas (particularly those regarding economics) to gain steam among such a crowd.
But yeah, he is not an effective politician.
Well, he’s not embraced by Conservatives thats for sure. I still like him though, he’s really the only one talking about really revolutionary things (how many politicans want to completely get rid of the IRS).
