Upstart Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul has been getting a lot of buzz lately -- buzz mostly divided into two camps: "hey, this guy seems interesting," and "wait, this guy's a Republican?" For those who've been milling about confusedly in the who-or-what-the-hell-is-Ron-Paul category, things got a little clearer last night thanks to TV's leading champion of truthiness, Stephen Colbert.
After watching this clip, you still may not have decided whether Paul's a genius or a nutcase, but you might, at least, have a better idea of what he's for and against. (Against: taxes, the Patriot Act, and the Department of Education. For: liberty, limited government, and allowing Unicef to continue ... for now.)
