“Ron Paul Is The Real Deal”

In their self-declared “worst bloggingheads ever,” Ben Smith and Garance Franke-Ruta discuss the presidential fields and Paul’s performance in the second debate.  I think they either misunderstand Paul’s claim from the second debate or they do not recall the specific grievances that Bin Laden has outlined as the motivations for attacking American targets.  The sanctions and bombings of Iraq were included explicitly from 1996 onward.  Additionally, Paul has explicitly ruled out a third-party run. 

Classic quote from Ben Smith: “There is a Libertarian Party, I think, nationally.”
