Ron Paul asks ... What If?

During the run-up to the 2008 Presidential Election, I took a few of those online tests to determine which candidate best matched my views. In every one, my approach and philosophy of government aligned more with Ron Paul than with any other candidate. I always appreciated his passion for the Constitution and his Libertarian bent, but because I disagreed with him about the War in Iraq, I never really considered voting for him. I felt the Bush administration pursued a policy needed to protect this country. While I never considered Bush a conservative, I appreciated how he acted in a way to protect this country. However, Ron Paul's speech has me rethinking my position.
