Great comment left on 'The Economist's' Facebook page

(From a posting of an Economist story on the Iowa straw poll)

"those with small but devoted followings, such as Ron Paul, a libertarian from Texas" - so small a following his son is now Senator from Kentucky, so fringe he predicted the economic collapse and explained it from the Austrian economics perspective, so marginal he was godfather of the Tea Party, so out-of-touch with mainstream America he is the only anti-war, non-interventionist candidate thus reflecting the wishes of the majority of Americans exhausted from wasted decades of Empire, so protective of Liberty he voted against the Patriot Act and fights for our diminished civil liberties. Could be Ron Paul will surprise since his message actually resonates? (Michael B Libenson)
