On the face of it you wouldn't think that a small "c" commie like myself would see much positive in Ron Paul. In many respects he stands apart as a reactionary among reactionaries.
There is one issue, however, that is qualitatively different than any other issue in this election, and on that one issue Ron Paul is a potential world-changer.
That issue is undoing America's self-defeating role as Global Cop. If Ron Paul ever succeeded in closing those 900 or so foreign bases in 130 countries, we'd find ourselves in a brand new world overnight.
The massive amount of money pissed away on maintaining that empire could be used at home looking after Americans.
With his principled stand on that one issue, Ron Paul is the only candidate who could make a difference.
