Answer 1

He's probably the best man for the job in domestic and fiscal issues, unfortunately he's not as great on national security and we need someone that will be tough on that issue. I do like the man though.

Answer 2

Why not vote for Ron Paul? Here's why not.
He favors replacing progressive income taxation with regressive consumption taxation - ie he favors the poor paying a higher effective rate of tax against thier income.
He proposes removing the stabilizing element of the economy (the ability to manipulate the money supply) and return to the gold standard. He is so unable to put forward a sound argument for this he reverts to lying about the nature of the Federal Reserve System claiming it is privately owned and returns a profit to shareholders.
He raves about the constitiution while advocating a law in breach of the 14th amendment.
He wants to isolate the US from the multilateral organisations and treaties that are providing global solutions to global issues.
He pushes the failed supply side tax reduction policy without ever addressing the miserable failure it has proven under Reagan and Bush.
He talks about smaller government while leading congress in earmarks with $400million worth in the first half of this year alone.
He talks about freedom and privacy but wants to deny pregnant women the freedom to decide what to do with thier own bodies.
His plan to address private debt is to give those with the highest propensity to spend more money to spend rather than directly encourage savings.
He rails about the public education system but his solution involves further starving it of much needed funding.
He promotes home schooling but refuses to put in place any form of testing to ensure children are being equipped for life in modern America.
He actively opposed the WHO small pox eradication program - which has resulted in 2 million people living each year instead of dying.
He claims the way to prevent identity theft is to deregulate the standards of ID. - he seems to think your finances will be safer if the user does not by law have to prove they are the owner.
He has run for president before and been soundly rejected by the US people, winning less that 0.5% of the vote.

Answer 3

How can you call Ron Paul the "champion of the Constitution" when he apparently has not read the entire document?

And since when is the InterNet part of the Constitution.

Answer 4

You seem to know a lot about this gentleman and are promoting him as president. Hopefully you are serving on his campaign. Whether or not his accomplishments would prepare him for taking the highest office, is unknown. However, he will be assured of at least one vote if he gets on the ballot -- yours!

Answer 5

I have more to add to this:

Ron has never voted to raise taxes.
Ron has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
Ron has never voted for the Iraq War.
Ron has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
Ron has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
Ron has never voted to raise congressional pay.
Ron has never taken a government-paid junket.

Ron voted against the Patriot Act.
Ron votes against the death penality
Ron votes against regulating the Internet.
Ron voted against NAFTA and CAFTA.
Ron votes against the United Nations.
Ron votes against the welfare state.
Ron votes against reinstating a military draft.

Ron votes to end the war on drugs.
Ron votes to preserve the constitution.
Ron votes to cut government spending.
Ron votes to lower healthcare costs.
Ron votes to protect civil liberties.
Ron votes to secure our borders with real immigration reform.
Ron votes to eliminate tax funded abortions and to overturn Roe v Wade.
Ron votes to protect religious freedom.

As for people who claim Ron Paul is against allowing abortion, while he's personally probably against it, he wants to completly take it out of the hands of the federal government and leave it as a state issue, not try to ban it.

Answer 6

Ron Paul doesn't believe in a government, period, esp in the enforcement agencies. Also, how did he get re-elected so many times if he wasn't bringing home the pork...? Lastly, what international experience does he have? As president, will he have the experience to talk to world leaders?

Answer 7

He has also vowed to pull all of our military forces from overseas and eliminate the FBI, the CIA, ICE, DEA, and the IRS.

Two days after he signs his first executive order, the Pentagon will be destroyed my airliners, the White House will be gone-airliner, and the New York Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve will be wiped out and America will be left in the dark under Taliban rule.

Answer 8

Why not vote for him? DO you know him? I do. That is enough said for me.
Of course he never voted for any of those things. He rarely, if ever attends sessions. Check it out in the Congressional Record.

Answer 9

What has he accomplished in congress? What bills has he introduced and guided through? What rights did he fight for and save? Voting against stuff has not helped us one bit. We need a leader. I haven't seen one yet.

Answer 10

man, Tell us something like a Time magazine article on him. Is he in any nationally recognized periodical??
