Watching the Nevada Democratic Discussion, it becomes apparent that we expect our Presidents to be experts on every subject. They need to be economists, commanders, educators, visionaries, leaders, cheerleaders, serious-minded,and likable. They must command all issues and have well-reasoned positions for everything. On top of that, we shun change, abhor weakness, and decry dishonesty. We demand good looks, skinny ankles, and good teeth.
Perhaps it’s one of the reasons why so many Media Age presidents have been governors.

Ronald Ernest “Ron” Paul (born 20 August 1935) is a 10th-term Congressman, medical doctor (M.D.), and a 2008 presidential candidate from the U.S. state of Texas. As a Republican, he has represented Texas’s 14th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1997, and had previously served as the representative from Texas’s 22nd district in 1976 and from 1979 to 1985.
Paul advocates the limited role of government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He has earned the nickname “Dr. No” for voting against any bill he believes violates the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Paul is the “one exception to the Gang of 535″ on Capitol Hill. He has never voted to raise taxes or congressional pay. He has always voted against the USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and the Iraq War.
