The Dems won't have him because he is, at the heart of it, a fucking nut.
Quote:The central tenet of Paul's political philosophy is that "the proper role for government in America is to provide national defense, a court system for civil disputes, a criminal justice system for acts of force and fraud, and little else."
His "vision" for the US is centered about 1790-1830. A pre-industrial land where property rights are sacrosanct and people can go fuck themselves.
