Stossel struck out because he tried to hit it out of the park. Ron<BR/>Paul realized that it was a curve-ball, and that the best thing to do<BR/>with a curve ball is go for a ground-ball single. He hit it so well that<BR/>he got a double out of it. Meanwhile, he had hit home runs on the<BR/>Patriot Act and the Iraq War, and really didn't need to go out on a<BR/>limb about trusting corporations.<BR/><BR/>One of the great things about Ron Paul as a politician is that he states things with a gentle, matter-of-fact humility that diffuses opposition. It explains how he could do so well against the Texas Republican<BR/>machine.<BR/><BR/>-dsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
