Ron Paul Has Done More to Advance Progressive Causes Than Democrats: Guardian

The U.K. Guardian reports:
If Rand is even half as audacious and principled as Ron, there is ample cause for optimism. The left must acknowledge that on multiple occasions, and on issues of profound importance, Ron Paul has been no less than heroic. From his dissection of Rudy Giuliani's smug apologetic for US foreign policy before a hostile Republican primary audience, to last week's impassioned defense of WikiLeaks on the floor of the House, Paul the elder has done far more to advance and defend what I could consider progressive causes than your average milquetoast Democrat. That he regularly sponsors legislation with stalwarts of the left like Dennis Kucinich and Alan Grayson should be persuasive enough for sceptics.
Will Rand Paul make the left happy?
