Ron Paul is the only U.S. presidential candidate talking about alternatives in health care. Shouldn’t people have some say about the treatments to which they are subjected? Seems reasonable.

Fascinating that Ron Paul is considered “dangerous” out there. Dangerous to who?

It’s been entertaining watching Ron Paul confuse the democrats, republicans, and the media thus far in the 2012 campaign. For the most part all three groups are clueless about how to deal with him and ignoring him is not working very well. If Paul gets too much more traction he’ll be gang attacked by the left/right/media because of the issues he keeps bringing up. But strangely, Paul does not attack people personally. He just digs — deeply and aggressively — into issues from his point of view and expects others to spar with him from their point of view. May the best idea win, he says. This is odd. American politicians generally run from issues and instead specialize in gutting people in a childish effort to distract attention from their own lack of intelligence. And the media likes it that way because the fights help sell advertising. Yet Paul continues to do the opposite. And he clearly could care less about the results — and that is the key to his rhetoric.
