I guess I have a morbid obsession with Ron Paul, but he is such a transparent phony that I am unable to resist the impulse to out him. Yesterday, he repeated one of his more preposterous claims to a reporter from the Concord Monitor:
Paul extended his small-government ideals to his personal life. As a doctor, […]

RON PAUL REPEATS PHONY MEDICAID CLAIM
RON PAUL & DENNIS KUCINICH HATE CHILDREN
Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich voted “No� on HR 976, the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act. We know that anyone opposing SCHIP reauthorization hates children, so it obviously follows that Representatives Paul and Kucinich have an unreasoning antipathy to the wee bairns.
Because Paul, Kucinich, and an evil assortment of equally heartless House members voted […]
Ron Paul Agrees with Rudy Giuliani on Health Care
Back on August 2, Ron Paul made a floor speech in the House of Representatives about the Comprehensive Health Care Act. My first thought on reading the text was, “This contains some sensible elements. The good doctor must be back on his meds.�
Then it struck me how similar it was to the health care strategy […]
DOES RON PAUL WANT TO KILL YOU?
As I have pointed out here, Ron Paul voted to allow prescription drug re-importation. This puts the good doctor right in line with Hillary Clinton and the other Democrats running for President. As John Lott explains, this policy would put real human beings at risk:
All Democratic presidential candidates agree on pharmaceutical price controls, which means people […]
A Vote for Ron Paul is a Vote for Hillarycare
In 1992, Bill Clinton was elected President because 19% of the voters were naive enough to pull the lever for a certified wackjob: Ross Perot. Looking at the results of the Ames straw poll, I have a sinking feeling that history may repeat itself in 2008.
In the straw poll, Ron Paul garnered 9% of the vote. This […]
RON PAUL: DOCTOR FAUX
I have pointed out before that Ron Paul is not what he claims to be. He wraps himself, for example, in the mantle of Libertarianism while voting for government price fixing. He also calls for a free market in health care while supporting a federal mandate requiring ERs to treat patients with no emergency condition.
It […]
RON PAUL vs. RUDY GIULIANI
Last week, when I questioned Ron Paul’s specious claim not to have accepted Medicare during his years as a practicing obstetrician, I was accused by several commenters of being in the pay of that arch fiend, Rudy Giuliani.This was odd coming from professed libertarians, because Giuliani is a much more credible advocate of free market […]
Ron Paul Agrees with Dubya on Health Care
It’s probably safe to say that the universe of Ron Paul partisans doesn’t overlap much with that of President Bush’s supporters. This is ironic because, foreign policy disagreements notwithstanding, the two politicians are actually in agreement on most issues. Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of health care. Here, for example, is […]
RON PAUL: FAUX LIBERTARIAN
Ron Paul has caught fire in the blogosphere primarily due to his ostensible fidelity to principle. His supporters believe that, unlike most other politicians, he won’t compromise his core values for the sake of political expediency. This is how Reason puts it:
What makes Paul especially unusual is this: He takes the Constitution’s limits on federal […]
RON PAUL IS WRONG ON DRUG IMPORTATION
In light of the Senate’s latest action on prescription drug importation, I thought I’d take a look at Ron Paul’s position on that issue. When this issue came up in the House, he voted YES on importation, and this is how he explains that vote:
Reimportation allows American consumers, particularly seniors, to benefit from worldwide price […]
