Paul's a Libertarian in the right places.
The problem is he's also a Libertarian in the wrong places.
Boy does that hit the nail on the head.
Ron Paul believes in a much much smaller federal government doing much much less.
He’s not about forcing states to legalize anything. Doesn’t care what they do, is in favor of Limited Constitutional Government, but isn’t a Libertarian. Libertarians agree with him on issues - they agree that the federal gov shouldn’t have drug cops - but Ron Paul doesn’t agree with them on state matters.
