El Neil recommends endorsing Ron Paul

L. Neil Smith suggests the unthinkable: that the US Libertarian Party boost a Republican candidate:

Ron Paul is — or could be — the Eugene McCarthy of the 21st century.

It is for those reasons that I suggest that delegates to the 2008 Libertarian Party national convention should at least contemplate doing something unprecedentedly decent, courageous, and intelligent, even for them. They should nominate "None of the Above" for President on our own ticket, and then immediately vote to cross-endorse Ron Paul. The endorsement could even state the reservations I mentioned above.

But the point is that it would help put the LP on the map in a very big way, it would help the campaign of the only man (apparently) in a position to salvage the dream of what America was supposed to be, and it would help America and the world by thoroughly repudiating the evil beat-up-and-kill policies of the two-headed Boot On Your Neck party.

You don't get that kind of chance very often.
