Ron Paul in Last Night's Debate

I like the title of this post from ronpaul.rescue-us.org. Six minutes of sanity -- here, here!

Paul's very last words of the nearly seven minute video raised my eyebrows, though. He was speaking of the need to pull out of Iraq partly because we're spending so much money over there. He then said that it would be better spent that money stateside on health care and education. Now, does he mean government spending in these sectors or did he mean that the money could be returned to the citzenry through tax cuts to spend on health care and education as they see fit? If it's the former perhaps we were seeing a bit of pandering by Paul to voters who suck the federal teet for their healthcare and education needs. Regardless, I'm willing to let it slide because the other six minutes, fifty-one seconds of the video he was dead-on.

I think this was Paul's best performance of the three debates by far. He was clear, concise, didn't fumble his words and was forceful without being scary.
