I heard he wants to end income tax and shut down most of the federal government because its not in the constitution .
That states are to be in charge . Local governments and people making decisions .
That you could go out and open a shop and sell whatever you wanted . Free markets .

He was also opposed to the War in Iraq and the Illegal Immigration Amnesty bill, he sounds better and better to me.

I've heard of him. He is a libertarian nut case.
Most people have not heard of him because he can't raise enough money to get his name on the media. A few blogs and message boards reach a select few people and they are free so that is all he can do. This late in the game if he doesn't have hundreds of millions of dollars in his campaign spent or raised and hasn't got name recognition as a household word he hasn't got a chance. If you were to ask the average person on the street who Ron Paul is some will mistake him for Ru Paul and most of the rest will not know who he is.
There are ideas that are pie in the sky and sound great but not practical.

Yes that is true for the most part. Its to bad though that we have mostly become a country of nanny staters ever since FDR
The answers to the question make it very clear that the Public has basically given up and decided that it will always be between a big government Dem or a big government Republican. Man I hope for a revolution some day!!

Yes, I keep hearing about him. But only from his supporters who spam this forum every day with the same questions designed to make it look like he's a viable candidate, when clearly he is not. They end up being nothing but Ron Paul advertisers, not really interested in discourse about him, just doing their Internet Ron Paul campaign thing - nothing but barely concealed political ads for him. When he drops out for lack of national support will all of you finally stop spamming the board with this stuff day in and day out?

I think it is cute how all 3 Ron Paul supporters try to drum up support for him. Pathetic too. Elvis died 30 years ago and has a better chance to be elected.

i do unlike countless of the three stooges, Obama esp., or Hillary or McCain, at one element i became for McCain yet now i'm commencing as much as think of he's merely yet another baby-kisser who's looking out for the huge boys no longer us. We do deserve a extra useful decision yet who??? Ron Paul has some stable techniques yet he remains a sprint week on distant places affairs,

He's way too intelligent to ever get the Republican nomination.
Hopefully he'll run as an independent and suck votes away from whatever sorry sack of crap the GOP nominates, the same way Nader did from Dems.

Yeah...so they had a war about states rights about 150 years ago (give or take). Read up about it in relation to "states rights"

Everyone on Y!A, because he has a tiny but determined squad of supporters here who won't shut up about him.
