I’ve read a bit about Republican presidential candidate. Ron Paul and his rather sensible, if controversial views, but seeing him effortlessly field questions about drugs with rational, intelligent, informed replies is a wonder to behold.

My brother sent me this YouTube clip of Mr. Paul being interviewed by American television network, ABC’s John Stossel and the first two minutes are well worth your valuable surfing time:

I hate to say it, but this guy hasn’t got a hope in hell of winning. I know he’s got loads of support, I know he makes sense, but the powers that be will never allow anyone who talks that straight anywhere near the White House! If it looked like he had a chance, they would cook the election again. Anyway, the chances of him getting the nomination from the heavy christian-fundamentalist-ruled Republican party are slim to none.

It’s a real shame, because it sounds like Ron Paul could make a real difference and America would never let someone with that capability to run the show. Maybe we should all just elect him president of the world instead?
