A Closer Look at Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul

Welcome to my new blog, which will follow Dr. Ron Paul's presidential campaign.

Hello Patch readers,

Some of you may have seen my columns and other stories here on Patch. Now I'm adding blogging to my repertoire and this particular blog will focus on the 2012 presidential race and more specifically, the candidate I am personally endorsing, Dr. Ron Paul.

If you aren't familiar with Dr. Paul or if you've heard from the mainstream media (I know you have) that he is kooky or has "some good ideas, but his foreign policy is dangerous," I ask you to take a closer look at this candidate who is the only one who truly understands and truly defends the U.S. Constitution.

I will not only introduce you to Ron Paul's policies, but I will also compare and contrast his record with the other candidates' records. Even if you do not believe yourself to be a "politically inclined" person, as I thought of myself just a few short months ago, I will show you how and why this man's message changed my mind.

This election for me is not about Dr. Paul himself, but about his ideas of liberty and bringing America back to its roots. Stay tuned for more on Ron Paul's strong finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire and what lies ahead in the next couple of weeks in South Carolina and Nevada.
