[edit] Editing

On 14:30, 28 September 2007, according to the history, IP address 140.247.152.30 Removed the line "In 1996, he backed Ron Paul for Congress." from "Political career and views." This assertion is documented by the NY Times Magazine article "The Antiwar, Anti-Abortion, Anti-Drug-Enforcement- Administration, Anti-Medicare Candidacy of Dr. Ron Paul" which states "Paul had only two prominent backers: the tax activist Steve Forbes and the pitcher Nolan Ryan, Paul’s constituent and old friend, who cut a number of ads for him." The url of the article is http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/22/magazine/22Paul-t.html?ei=5124&en=22ee37525a9fc4f5&ex=1343016000&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink&pagewanted=all and I will be restore said line.--76.188.94.67 02:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mental retardation

Should it be mentioned that he suffers from severe mental retardation? (source: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/04/17/forbes-iran-oil-prices/).

[edit] Does he have a medical condition?

Steve Forbes never blinks his eyes. I find that worrisome, because human anatomy dictates that one must blink every two to ten seconds. I think this strange condition should be noted in the article. Xizer (talk) 05:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
