NY Times on Ron Paul

by Paul Gessing

The New York Times has always been my least favorite "leading" newspaper, but I may have to give them another chance. This Sunday, July 22, they had an incredibly thorough and very fair article about Ron Paul and his candidacy for the presidency.

While I don't agree with Ron on everything -- his approaches to immigration and trade being two of the big ones -- as the article makes clear, he is the only candidate for the presidency that actually reads and understands the Constitution. Perhaps someday we'll have several candidates of both parties who agree on the basic framework of the Constitution and someone who shares my belief in free movement of people and goods will run for office. Until then, Ron Paul is the standard-bearer for liberty.

Also, Reason had a decent article on Dr. Paul on their website recently. Since some previous criticism from myself and others, they have taken a more favorable, respectful approach to Dr. Paul's candidacy.
