The National Review's Take On Ron Paul

Ron Paul has the unfortunate distinction of looking and sounding wacky and impish, even when he says entirely reasonable things. He brilliantly and succinctly positioned his opposition to the current war within the context of Eisenhower getting us out of Korea, Nixon having a plan to get us out of Vietnam and Bush vowing not to start “nation-building” (in the 2000 campaign) that must have left a lot of Republican viewers thinking “this guy makes a lot of sense.”Unfortunately for Paul, he looks like a combination of My Favorite Martian’s Ray Walston and a comedian who habitually ran for president, Pat Paulsen; not helpful.

{I don't agree with the name-calling and diatribe against Mr. Paul's looks. He does look like a real American who can get the job done. Funny that candidates not even on the ballot yet get more press than Mr. Paul. I think the powerful media elite have made their decisions already. Don't think they haven't.}
