That's spot on for anytime one get's into a discussion with someone with a liberal mindset - they only believe that the truth is anything that proceeds from their mouth.

I like Ron Paul, he does not have the charisma or diplomatic skills to win people over to his way of thinking.

I was hoping Ryan would at least use some of the sound arguments presented for capitalism in Ayn Rands book about capitalism. That is likely the only piece of objectivity he really agrees with based on past voting. I thought that if he really was a Ayn Rand fan he may have used some of the material. There was opportunity but no dice. He would have won rather than tie had he done so.

I expect campaign line play, he is not the person running for president and he has to take some, if not all of his marching orders from Romney. I love Atlas, but it is a fantasy reality does not always allow such complete absolute adherence to ones values. I was hoping that those values, if he truly was into Ayn Rand, would come through some, at least on economy where many of her arguments could still be used, nearly word for word today.

All men DO have that capacity .
