Ron Paul Meet the Press

Ron Paul appeared on Meet the Press today with Tim Russert and looked terrible.  He was not prepared for any of Russert’s questions.

After admitting that he supports decriminalizing drugs at a national level, that he would vote against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 if it were brought up again, pointed out that he though Ronald Reagan was “a dramatic failure” and that Abraham Lincoln should have bought the slaves and freed them instead of going to war over them, Ron Paul disappointed the nation today.   It was a huge contrast between today’s Meet the Press appearance and his appearance on CNN with Glenn Beck last week.  He let the questions trip him up and he didn’t even touch his idea of smaller government.  He made it clear that he wanted to get rid of the IRS, FBI and CIA but did not submit any alternative solutions.
