If you're referring to Ron Paul, it wasn't just his free market stuff I liked. It was that he would have decriminalized drug possession, stopped the US interventionist foreign policies, ended government subsidies for massive factory farms, done his genuine best to restore value to our failing currency, etc. No other candidate came close to making a commitment to solve as many real problems as he did.

How exactly would a free market system handle an automated agricultural system?
