Trapped in a corner
This statement, although related to Giuliani’s health care plan, demonstrates Ron Paul’s Campaign problem:
Over at U.S. News & World Report, James Pethokoukis has a piece titled, “GOP Debate: Giuliani’s Libertarian Health Reform,” where he echoes my observation that Rudy Giuliani gave the best health care answer of all the GOP presidential candidates in the most recent debate — sounding even more libertarian than libertarian Ron Paul.
In fact the audience didn’t have a chance to listen to Ron Paul’s position on Health Care. And despite the fact that many would like to blame the mainstream media for ignoring Dr. Paul, I think that the problem lays elsewhere. Watching the debate it seems like Ron Paul position himself as a one issue candidate, which all he is talking about is the the war in Iraq and the American Foreign Policy paradigm.
I don’t argue that Ron Paul is loosing the chance to win the GOP nomination, I don’t think it was ever the issue. But promoting Liberty cannot be limited to one issue. Ron Paul has a broader agenda than he presented in the last debate, It is time for his campaign to stop hiding it.

Participating in debates that are air on national debate is not a common opportunity, and I fear that we are wasting the little that we get.
