Ron Paul can't even take responsibility for racist newsletters.

Edit: will you respond with "he didn't have time to edit them" (undermining the personal responsibility point), or "Ron Paul isn't libertarian" (No True Libertarian). I await with baited breath.

I used to like him as an outsider candidate, but I can no longer endorse his views, especially as he tacitly defends Russian authoritarian state by demanding the US go back on its security guarantees.

There's a split between Kremlintarians and liberal democracy supporting libertarians. The racist newsletters were the canary in the coal mine, Ron Paul is actually fairly right wing and gets a lot of support from right wing people. I would no longer support him or his son for President.
