I came real close to voting for Ron Paul but couldn't in the end. I agree with some of his domestic policies and generally the libertarian philosophy, and like his surname, but the lack of a serious foreign policy was troubling, as was the dogmatism mixed with kooky views (especially in his past). Mark Steyn made a real nice point in his National Review column:
"I wish I could like Ron Paul more, really I do. But libertarian narcissism is as banal as any other strain. Ten years of desultory, inconclusive, transnationally constrained warmongering is certainly a problem. But know-nothing parochial delusion is not the solution."
