If you happen to watch the Republican Presidential debate tonight, I hope you give Ron Paul, M.D. a chance. Considering that he's a pro-life doctor who has never voted to raise taxes, I think the GOP could support him in the Republican primary next February.And if you're concerned about whether he can win in the general election, I think he can. My guess is that the Iraq War will still be the big issue. And he's opposed it from the very beginning and every step of the way.
I don't agree with him on all issues and he can seem impractical at times. But I have no doubt that he is the most principled Republican candidate running for President.
Go Ron Paul!
