High office seeking politicians have been using speech writers for at least a century. Do you really believe that Reagan was told what to say by those who worked for him? He was documenting his conservative beliefs in letters, diaries and op-eds long before he ran for office. He made a damn great president. If you're old enough to remember he gave this country back its self respect after the awful Johnson, Nixon and Kennedy years.
You sound like a typical effete libertarian elitist to me. Oh, and neither Ron Paul or his son will survive the primary sorting out—if they decide to make a run for it.
