Scenes from the Ron Paul Revolution

Reason, May, 2008 by Richard Clark, Lloyd McAulay

Rep. Ron Paul is definitely the best Republican running for president this year ("Scenes From the Ron Paul Revolution," February), but I fail to see how he can call himself a libertarian with his anti-choice views on abortion rights and his diatribes against immigration.

I am not a libertarian and would never vote for Ron Paul. But I did admire his adherence to principle in a context, the Congress, where it could bring him no favor. Brian Doherty shows that he is like other candidates in that he will trim his message to suit his audience.

That's fair reporting on a candidate you are bound to like. I am probably disappointed in him. But it does make him more human.
