The fact that Paul finds financial prudence deplorable and finds a mangy old Bolshevik to be admirable speaks to the point that we’ve made on RedState for years. Ron Paul is a fraud. His political life was a fraud. He preyed on his supporters and left the politics of the nation much more poisonous than he had found it.
You're talking about a guy who, despite being a Michigan resident, managed to get into the notorious Texas Air National Guard, the clearinghouse for champagne units. One could argue his whole adult
life was a fraud.
But then again, it could just be that Paul, who has to be pushing 80 by now, is just going senile.
