Ron Paul is what the Republicans used to be and they should be thanking him for reminding them of their roots. Small government, low taxes, non-intervention, and the novelty of following the constitution when most dems and reps, walk all over it.

He impressed me in the debate and people latch onto one aspect of what he said during it, but if we had followed a policy of not getting into foreign entanglements as a country we would have been better off in the long run.

I doubt Ron Paul will last too long on the national level, but he might just force the other candidates into looking carefully at their own platforms and tweaking them by seeing how receptive people are to the old school republican ideals.
