Yes, I would like Ron Paul as president.. he is one of the few presidential candidates providing any real clarity on our foreign policy and domestic issues.. Unlike other candidates whose stances seem to change from week to week, Paul's record is actually consistent. He is a strong advocate of a non-interventionist foreign policy where we trade and negotiate with countries,.. instead of fighting wars under false pretenses where we put our economy in financial risk and the lives of our troops in jeopardy.. To find out more about his positions on other issues, please see the list I posted below. In addition to Paul's strong anti-war/less government stance, he accepts no money from lobbyists, corporations and interest groups.. He is man of integrity.. which is rarity in Washington.. Paul offers real solutions, instead of just typical political rhetoric.. He truly has the best interest at heart for the average American, not just the elite..
A brief overview of his record:
He voted against the Iraq war.
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He voted No to the amendment banning gay marriages.
He is a strong advocate of free trade.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He opposes invading Iran.
He opposes amnesty for illegals.
He will drastically reduce the debt the United States is in, by reducing government spending.. taking the burden off taxpayers.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Although I am undecided as of yet, I know that Ron Paul will not beat Hilary, he is a pawn in the political game and his presence will be felt. I agree with certain things he has to offer, I am worried about the wealth issue.This is a tough one. you get a star from me.

Yes, he will bring the troops home. He will stop trying to "export democracy." He will keep America in America.
I don't agree with everything he wants to do, but Congress can stop his more extreme views on economics and such.
It's his foreign policy that motivates me.

If change is what you desire for this country,both socially and politically, then Ron Paul is the candidate to get it done. Do I think that if he is the Republican candidate that he could beat Hillary? Unfortunately No. Can he beat Obama? I think yes.

I do.
I like the cut of his jib, An honest, good-old fashioned Republican and Constiutionalist, not afraid to live according to his principles.
Sadly, I'm afraid the wealthy will not allow a people's hero to rule.

me, and our founding fathers would.
why? because I don't want the CFR (america's shadow government) to create a north american union.
if you want this union, and nullification of our constitution, our inalienable rights, vote for any of the current top tier candidates.
if you want to remain sovereign, vote for Ron Paul. this is your last chance.
