Answer 1

nope...go ahead, thanks for the link :)

Answer 2

I would certainly hope not. Shunned is pretty extrme. I am sure at least 50% of the people will read the link before they answer.

If Ron Paul drops out I will certainly not be backing any other candidate in either of the "Big Two" .Thank you for the link.

Answer 3

I would LOVE an alternative to A or B... but until they get the media coverage that should be given to all candidates equally and fairly, no 3rd party candidate will ever have a chance of winning.

Sad, but true. I will vote for your candidate in the general, if he's on the ballot in NY, if only because otherwise my vote will go to waste, at least it will show some numbers for another party.

Answer 4

No, not at all.. I'll read through your link

EDIT: 悪魔 ジューリイェン AM's ヤクザ Liaison, We cannot continue to simply print money “out of thin air” without any hard assets backing our currency..

Paul is for creating a competing currency backed by gold. "He opposes dependency on paper fiat money, but also says that there "were some shortcomings of the gold standard of the 19th century ... because it was a fixed price and caused confusion." He argues that hard money, such as backed by gold or silver, would prevent inflation, but adds, "I wouldn't exactly go back on the gold standard but I would legalize the constitution where gold and silver should and could be legal tender, which would restrain the Federal Government from spending and then turning that over to the Federal Reserve and letting the Federal Reserve print the money. "He supports parallel currencies, such as gold-backed notes issued from private markets, competing on a level playing field with the Federal Reserve fiat dollar." –wiki

***He is NOT for returning to the gold standard, he is for creating a competing currency backed by gold.. wouldn't you rather have currency backed with the rising value of gold, instead of currency backed by the depreciating negative value of debt?

Answer 5

Not by me either as Ron Paul intends to fight too many windmills. We got enough no win wars going on right now. Okay he may be the best guy running but I'd like more of a get real guy.

Answer 6

No: you'll just be ignored. The problem with Libertarians is that they like a small, tight, limited government.

With such a limited scope, the government would not need such a huge treasury, and interest groups, corporations, welfare folks and corrupt politicians would find it more difficult and less productive to raid such a treasury.

Dream on. The fatted cow (aka taxpayer's) is on its merry way to slaughter, along with the Republic.

Answer 7

No, but I don't know anything about Mr. Phillies. I'm a Ron Paul supporter myself, but I'll have a look at your link.

Answer 8

Not at all... I hope we start a Libertarian Party (or at least make it bigger) after this election, just for the fact that we need a third party to form a better watch dog in our politics, and to get more ideas in there.

Answer 9

Definitely not. Ron Paul wants a return to the gold standard. How ridiculous is that? I would've thought everybody would've learned their lesson after WWI, the great depression, and then later--during the collapse of the Bretton Woods System, but no, this retard thinks he's got a better the same idea. Like Hitler when he reused Napoleon's strategy in Russia.

edit: Don't get me wrong. I'm a Libertarian myself, and I'm aware that most of my naive colleagues also want a return to the idiot gold standard. I just don't think they've really researched it. We've got less than 150,000 tons of bloody gold above ground, and 7.3 trillion dollars. Even if the United States had -all- of the gold in the entire world, it still wouldn't be enough to support us.

Answer 10

Ron Paul is da man

Answer 11

Yes.
