Libertarians for Ron Paul

Ron Paul Touted on The McLaughlin Group

On last night’s McLaughlin Group, panelist Eleanor Clift brought up Ron Paul favorably.

During a discussion on the conservative movement, started as a discussion of the death of Jerry Falwell, Clift named Ron Paul as Barry Goldwater’s heir:

Barry Goldwater’s heir in the current Republican field is Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who is a libertarian, and who is really striking a chord. He’s not going to win the nomination or the Presidency, but he is speaking to a lot of people who think the Republican Party has gone way too far into the bedrooms of American people, and too far…

Pat Buchanan interupts:

He’s pro-life! He’s pro-life!

Clift:

He doesn’t want the government making those decisions.

Three weeks ago, John McLaughlin ended the discussion of the debate on that week’s McLaughlin Group declared that Ron Paul was the winner of the first debate.
