Ron Paul

Ron Paul is a pretty strange character so I was happy to illustrate the cover for his interview with the Rocky Mountain Chronicle. I don't agree with most of what Ron Paul believes--he would get rid of most every Federal program, but it's amazing to hear someone like him on stage with the Republican candidates.

In 1988, you ran for president as a Libertarian. You’ve since stated that you will never again run as a third-party candidate. Do you think there’s a problem in the system that prevents third-party candidates from being viable?

RP: Huge problem. And it’s disgusting when we’re so arrogant that we think we can go around the world and justify war and say we’re going to teach them about democracy. I hate the use of force to spread any kind of message, but it’s so preposterous to think that we should do it when we haven’t cleaned up our house here. If we had a very good system, people would want to copy us.
