Ron Paul: Hero or Fool?

Hero or Fool

Over the past few years, an unlikely figure has risen to prominence on the political stage. Ron Paul has jumpstarted the Tea Party movement, far before it ever rose to prominence. An avid believer in a small government with no interference in the public sector, Paul has both won over many and caused many more to shake their heads. It was Paul, not Barack Obama who received a record 6 million dollars in donations, all online in one single day. The GOP radical, has been turning heads for years and only recently received the attention many believe he deserves. Paul has opposed every war brought before Congress during his tenure and even opposed offering aid following the devestation of Hurricane Katrina. Is this a man that Americans should stand behind or a man they should ridicule? Many people feel that the Democrat run goverment in place today is far too large and bringing America closer towards socialism. Paul advocates virtually the opposite of what Barack Obama has put into action. The question essentially boils down to individual opinion and it should be interesting to see what happens between now and the 2012 election.
