Ron Paul For President

Isaac-Saxxon · 07-18-2007, 08:07 AM

After reading this thread I do agree with much of what he has to say but not all of it. I have not heard of him before ? We do not have much to pick from on either side of the isle. I think it will be December before we can see a front runner for either party. I will be looking for this guy and what he has to say in the public forum.

I've been checking this guy out as well. listening to him talk just freaks me out, doesn't sound like any politician I've ever heard.

He likes to quote the Constitution a lot, as a basis for keeping the federal governmet OUT of a lot of issues.

He's pro-life, but believes it should be handled at the State Level, for example.

Don't really think he has a chance in hell, doesn't have the money like some of these candidates do...

Check out his website. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/ they've got several interviews/videos on there.

The biggest problem with Ron Paul is that he's a lunatic and completely unfit to lead this country. Other than that, he's just super. He's the Howard Dean of the right.

Sounds like exactly what we need.

Already with the ad hominem attacks? If you're joking, thats fine, but if you're not, I sure hope you can back it up with evidence. Just how, exactly, is the man "a lunatic and completely unfit to lead"? Support that statement with facts, if ya can.

Now, Ron is running on the republican ticket, as he stands a much better chance of getting elected than when he ran on the libertarian ticket back in the late 80's. Many of us believe that this is the guy who can unite everyone with his no-nonsense, common sense style and cure the balkanization of America.

Ron Paul does have some good ideas. But, like Ross Perot and Steve Forbes, is just a little too strange for "mass consumption". I haven't made up my mind about him just yet. The pickin's will be slim again this election cycle, but we better be smart about who we back up. Someone may have to beat hillary, and that will be mud-slinging like we've never seen.

"Too strange for mass consumption"? How so. Again people, lets give the ad hominem attacks a rest. If you're gonna level accusations like this, it'd be nice if you could cite examples.
