going to vote for him -respect him more than anything
he is not an isolationist he is a non-interventionalist - meaning live and let live as long as there is no violence then let congress decide - and he wants to strengthen our business positions around the world by renegotiating unfair free trade treaties -you are obviously the one who is misinformed and misinforming others -your editorial ,thank god, is nothing more than your opinion based on tidbits of information and you fail to see the big picture-just good folk- also you obviously hate the freedom given to all in this nation with your bias - I am sure 90% of new yorkers could care less about civil unions between two women or vice versa where as alabama would not prefer that -let the states decider it is that easy americans dont all fit in a nice tight umbrella it is a vast and diverse country-or maybe you woulsd like concentration camps so you could irradicate all those that oppose or are different than you

He is by far the best Republican because he thinks like a Democrat. He won't get the nominee because as you know all people vote for a good looking President that they can be proud to represent them . It wouldn't make any difference anyway , the Democrats have it sewed up, Hillary will be the next President I hope her VP is Bill Richardson or Joe Bidden, Secretary of Defense General Clark What a team to get America back from lying cheating bunch of hillbillies.

Ron Paul is the best! We need a lot more politicians to follow in his footsteps.

Hate is a big word.Opposed all the way
Progressives usually are internationalists.I sure don't believe in turning our back to the rest of the world.I can see how people are enchanted by Ron Pauls stand on the war after the Bush fiasco, but they don't fully understand why he stands there.I've said this before.If you understand what Ron Paul stands for and you like him you can be an strictly economical liberal but only in the calassical sense,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism,but you certainly are not a progressive.
Isolationism has been tried and failed before.It's also very anti social,I don't think those who suppoort Paul and consider themselves liberal or progressive understand that.Isolationsim is definetely a right wing trait usually.Being in favor of Isolationism effects more than war alone.If you choose that you turn your back on Africa too

He's against gay marriage and abortion rights.The reason he voted no on The Federal Marriage Amendment is because he fears it might give gay and lesbian people legal ground to demand equal rights not because he supports gay rights.He wants to give it to the states so they can discriminate.
"I oppose federal efforts to redefine marriage as something other than a union between one man and one woman, I do not believe a constitutional amendment is either a necessary or proper way to defend marriage....
I am convinced that both the Defense of Marriage Act and the Marriage Protection Act can survive legal challenges and ensure that no state is forced by a federal court’s or another state’s actions to recognize same sex marriage. Therefore, while I am sympathetic to those who feel only a constitutional amendment will sufficiently address this issue, I respectfully disagree"Ron Paul

He doesn't support seperation f church and state.From a text he wrote:"The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government’s hostility to religion. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life.

He's a white Christian intolerant male who hides his support for continued discrimination,soicial injustice and social darwinism behind states rights.
Liberals should wake up about this guy.Ron Paul believes states are the best bet for fighting progress liberals seek.His attempt to play both sides on every issue make him loose all credibility

actually, I do not give him an up or down vote simply because he does not have the clout to put him on the ballot,so why bother.
if i had any reason to be leary of him it would be the years that he has already been in politics, Texas politics of all things. That gives him a "no go" in my book to begin with

Absolutely love him! He is the only candidate with a sense of integrity, one that will help the common man not the elite

If only he'd figure out an economic platform that would actually work. History has shown his is fatally flawed. Otherwise, he's a good candidate.

A frank, intelligent speaker of truth and common sense. A free thinker.
Sadly, he is 100 percent UNELECTABLE.

He's working for the Democrats, dividing the Republican vote and alienating some to the point that they stay home.
