"Among fiscal conservatives, Ron Paul is the purest of the pure, having steadfastly refused to enter into the sort of deal-making and political compromise on which Washington thrives"
Great speech Fred! You still read the national review? Like e.g. John Derbyshire:
"Unlike the product in that automobile commercial, this is your father's conservatism — the Old-Time Religion. What is there among Ron Paul's policy prescriptions that the young William F. Buckley would have disagreed with?
So why aren't we all piling into the wagon behind Dr. Ron?"
Duncan Hunter for President 2008. Support a genuine conservative. Duncan Hunter is actively campaigning on a platform of strong national defense, enforceable borders, and core conservative values.
Around 1:20, Thompson references his independently obtained conservative education. If he was more than just an actor, a man reading a speech someone else had come up with, Thompson would realize that about the time he was in college, RUSSELL KIRK wrote The Politics of Prudence while Barry Goldwater wrote THE CONSCIENCE OF A CONSERVATIVE. Does this guy really expect us to see him as Reagan-esque? The savior to all conservatives? Don't insult my intelligence.
Oh, or Peter Suderman:
"Among fiscal conservatives, Ron Paul is the purest of the pure, having steadfastly refused to enter into the sort of deal-making and political compromise on which Washington thrives"
I love that magazine.

He's trying to be Reagan but he never will be.
