"I think everything Ron Paul was talking about in 2007 and 2008 has come true ," said Doherty. “For example, he’s talked about some of the bubbles that have been created by the things the federal reserve has been doing. He’s talked about the dollar being devalued. He opposed the bailouts ," said Doherty."I think he’s also been a leader about using our military in a constitutional manner. He wants to bring our troops home."
