Ron Paul, 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 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 voted NO to the amendment banning gay marriages.
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.

Dr. Ron Paul. He has a long history of living up to his campaign promises. He is opposed to taxes. He is oppossed to the income tax claiming it is unconstitutional (it is). He believes in bringing the troops back not just from Iraq and Afghanistan but from every corner of the world. He doesn't believe that American taxpayers should foot the bill to defend foreign countries that are perfectly capable of defending themselves. Especially now that the Soviet threat no longer exists. He believes in disbanding the IRS. Without Income Tax Government revenues would still be at 2000 levels and even THAT constitutes more government than we need. He doesn't believe that it is the role of Federal Government to regulate our daily lives (certainly the Founders never intended it should be that way). He believes that Americans are an intelligent, resourceful and strong people who need neither a Nanny State nor a "Fatherland" to watch over them. He is oppossed to the ruinous and frighteningly expensive (not to mention ineffective) "War On Drugs" and believes that public education is the key. He believes in the "home schooled" alternative. He is personally oppossed to abortion but feels that the Federal Government (and Federal monies) should not be involved but that the issue should decided at the State level.
While I may not agree with everything he stands for he stands for the things that matter most to me... Freedom, Liberty, The Constitution and the Bill Of Rights.
As this country teeters on the edge of catastrophe greater than anything I've seen in my 50 years Dr. Paul may well be our last chance to change course and save the American Dream for our children and grandchildren.

Ron Paul.
Because I want all these B.S. incentives and wars to stop that the government has right now.
His logic follows the constitution exactly.
By doing this, he can kill the national debt, restore the value of our currency, and protect this country better than all the others.
He wants to trade with Iran rather than demonize and attack them.
He doesn't fear monger like all the others.
I just pray to watch a debate between him and Hillary. Hah. When he calls her out on everything all we'll get is her laugh and B.S.

I am going to vote for Dr. Ron Paul. Dr. Paul understands the Constitution, and is dedicated to abiding by it. Look at his voting record. No one else has a voting record as consistent as Ron Paul's. He lives what he preaches, and what he preaches is a great message. Dr. Paul understands that the Federal government does not have the right to make rulings on issues such as abortion and gay marriage. He realizes that bad foreign policy has cost America the lives of many women and children, and that, financially, we can't afford to allow it to continue. We print money out of thin air to pay for these wars over seas. This drives inflation up and it will eventually cause the American dollar to collapse.

Dennis Kucinich has consistently spoken the truth from the beginning. He is a man of honor and character. His positions against the war and for non-profit universal health care are 100% spot-on. He has shown the wisdom and courage of a great leader. I will be proud to vote for him in the primary, and if he doesn't win the Democratic nomination, I will write him in for the general election.
