Ron Paul, one of the second-tier Republican candidates who participated in last night’s debate, is a Libertarian and a strict Constitutionalist. In practice, that means he’s pro-life (but thinks the Federal government shouldn’t rule on abortion one way or the other), opposed to capital punishment, advocate for a non-interventionist foreign policy, “regularly votes against almost all proposals for government spending,” thinks we should scrap the drug war, supports the repeal of the Income Tax, and was given an A+ by the Gun Owners of America.
Holy smokes. Pair this guy up with Mike Gravel and you’ve got yourself a ticket.
