Paul. lol. This is the same dude who once blamed rising inequality on Solyndra. I only hope he gets enough attention to turn the GOP primary from the spectacle it already is into a downright farce.
The dude is a joke and an idiot. "The Fed" is supposed to be one of his main issues, yet he demonstrates an objective and immense lack of understanding regarding how the fed works and is audited every time he opens his mouth it seems. If he's this confused on a topic he's supposed to be an expert on, it doesn't bode well for his competency on issues where it matters. Really he's just a run of the mill political hack. Here he is blaming Hillary Clinton for ISIL: This is fail on so many levels it's sick. Hillary's war? Libya landscape responsible for ISIL? It makes you wonder what planet he's living on until you realize that's he's just lying and creating a new reality in order to smear a potential future presidential competitor. Dude has zero credibility.“The disaster that is Libya is now a breeding ground for terrorists and is a breeding ground for armaments. So I really do blame Hillary Clinton’s war in Libya for creating a lot of the chaos that is spreading throughout the Middle East,” he said.
While all that is true, Paul is the only candidate who seems eager to dismantle domestic spying infrastructure and take a chunk out of the military industrial complex. It's troubling that a libertarian wing-nut is the only candidate that supports the issues I'd most like to see addressed. Makes me wonder if I'm turning into a tin-foil hat freak.
I think he's just obviously cynical and full of shit. I'd place better odds on him not doing much of anything on those issues if elected, while dismantling plenty of good legislation to the detriment of a lot of people. Basically he'd only do what the hard right would let him do, and do that he would. Walking disaster that guy.
