Ron Paul keeps toting himself as Libertarian and has run as a Libertarian before but I have a hard time understanding how. His social issue positions are bordering on "moral majority" grounds. He believes that marriage should have nothing to do with the government, only churches, life begins at conception, etc. He even wants to eliminate the Department of Education. He thinks that healthcare providers should just give away free care to everybody who can't afford it.
I just don't think he's in touch with reality at all.
Just saw on the Today show that Michelle Bachman has officially quit the race. Phew. One less crazy to deal with.
