McCain is widely considered to be a responsible authority on military and foreign issues. But as of late, many of his economic statements have been latent with a sort of anti-capitalist sentiment. This sentiment, whether it be more populist pandering or just plain economic ignorance, places some of McCain’s economic policies to the left of […]

Yesterday, Ron Paul said that he had a major announcement to make later that night. And indeed it was a major one, as he announced that he was ending his presidential campaign last night.
