Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, is without doubt the most anti-government member of the House of Representatives and has often been a critic of his party's spending and foreign policy. He voted against the Iraq war and Patriot Act. He has never taken a government-paid junket.

Its not "So many" Americans that are afraid of him. It's what will happen when he wins the presidency, provided we get a House of Reps that will truly represent their constituents in their respective districts as well. Has anyone besides me seen a significant increase in the cost of everything over the past 18 months? The cost of our runaway inflation is being hidden in the cost of goods ppl. Key word there is inflation.........why do we even have it? Start questioning it.

I don't think most Americans even know what is going on!!! I know that I don't, everything is so private and the news channels are so biased they act like everybody is a Democrat, that no-one even pays any attention any more. I think we would be afraid if we had sources that we could trust but we hear something and think they are just building it up we will wait and see what happens.

How does R.Paul tie in with this? And if asking general question: people, Americans etc., afraid of illness -- a) unhealthy lifestyles, when this the case, a big factor, & b) quality of / expense of Medical care; secondly, Death -- premature/ unprepared death; illness ties in with this -- in some cases, people doing risky stuff & in denial about consequences. maybe simplistic, but true: if people living healthy & active lives, to the best of their ability, & have a positive philosophy concerning Death/ the hereafter -- half their fear would vanish. Faith Hope & Charity, & all that -- these [Faith & Hope, specifically here] incredible allies in, to coin a phrase?, our "Fight against Fear".

I just don't think we trust any politicians or the media anymore. Ron's got the only voice of reason that reflects his integrity for 20+ years, and no one knows about him. They also don't seem to care. I told my neighbor a week ago, that "the amnesty bill didn't pass!" I was elated.
His response, "is that good or bad"?

Can you define the word "afraid"? I believe most U. S. citizens don't care. For example, gotta take the kids to soccer practice, or need to turn in the quarterly report by Tuesday.

You are right... They are afraid of the truth. I can't understand how a sincere candidate, who has promised good things to get our country back on top... can have so many people try so hard to not let his good work happen. What's that all about???

Well i would say that we Americans are afraid nor scared of anything. As far a R Paul no comment.
