Ron Paul

I like Glenn Greenwald, but as noted here, he seems to have drunk too much of the kool aid on Ron Paul. It is telling, btw, that the guy caucuses with the Republicans. But, whenever someone calls like Thom Hartmann or whatever, and says "hey, Ron Paul sounds like a good choice," there is a lot of ammo. His "states rights" stance in particular -- flag burning? Well, the feds shouldn't ban it ... states? Sure, if they want. [He's also "pro-life." And, other conservative stuff ... check the link.] No, that isn't how "libertarian" works.
