Sherry Wolf on why the Left can’t support Ron Paul is an engaging read, particularly advised for those who support Ron Paul’s policies. I think everyone who wants to run should be allowed to run, and I support Ron Paul’s attempt to overcome needlessly difficult ballot access requirements. But I’m not willing to trade away the things I want for ending the war in Iraq (including single-payer universal health care which would be anathema to a “small government” advocate like Paul). Joshua Frank’s single-issue take on Ron Paul’s candidacy doesn’t explain how much we would lose by ending the war and taking on the policies Wolf highlights in her piece.
