Ron Paul editorial

Ron Paul's editorial today, on the future of the party and the future of the country:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/...can/index.html

He says the party will continue to fail so long as it continues to seek power for the sake of power alone.

Quote:

But it might just take a new crop of leaders to regain the credibility needed to redirect the Party. It certainly won't be done overnight. It took a long time to come out of the wilderness after 40 years of Democratic rule for the Republican Party to take charge. Today though, time moves more quickly. Opportunities will arise. The one thing for certain is that in the next four years we will not see the Republic restored. Instead [by 2012] the need for [reform] will be greater than ever.

Ron Paul is awesome. He's right. Democracy is flawed in the sense that the politically popular things (increased spending, lower taxes, "stimulus packages" etc.) are often the wrong things for the future of the country.
