Why is your candidate better than Ron Paul?

Question

Please be specific and leave the hate out like Ron Paul does.

Answer 1

Mine is better, because you can conclusively research him, and know exactly what he's about. If all you have heard about him is from the media, then you really haven't done your job of being an informed voter. Some have, and some have disagreements with my candidate, those are the only people I respect. Some fear my candidate might be gaining too much notoriety, and that's a good thing - for all of us. My candidate is better for for me, my family, and my country. My candidate IS Ron Paul.

Answer 2

I don't know that my candidate really is a better person than Ron Paul, but I have to vote on a specific issue near and dear to my heart and therefore have to go with the candidate that is more likely to promote this issue. I studied Ron Paul's stand on the issue and found that it would have a better chance with other candidates. And since this is such a close issue to me, it was a Ron Paul supporter who helped me to find a candidate that was high on the issue and I really appreciated that. I have no doubt that Ron Paul is a good man. But I do not think that the good ole boys of the GOP will ever allow him to get the nomination. Even Fox News tries to ignore him. It's not right, but they do it.

Answer 3

It is Ron Paul.

Answer 4

Mine is Ron Paul. Ron Paul 2008

Answer 5

My cadidate IS Ron Paul.

He may not have money but its up to us to donate.

And his name is getting spread. IE through this site.

Anyone who says he doesn't have a chance realises how great he could be, but has such little faith in the system that has become so corrupted that they don't think its possible.

Well it is possible, and if he gets elected, he WILL fix that system.

Answer 6

You answered your own question. The guy is a nutjob! His only purpose is to draw off all the Republicans that have a feeling that there is something fishy going on,but really don't know the truth yet. If all the Republicans that feel that way were to join up with the rest of Americans that have glimpsed the truth and want more,real change would come! But the 'media' is keeping everyone at each others throats with the 'wedge' issues. The truth is out there,but the media has us all chasing our tails trying to find it.

Answer 7

I don't know that my candidate is better, just a little different slant on things, I could live with Ron Paul as president.

Answer 8

My candidate is better than Ron Paul because while his ideas are good, there is no way to implement them. It is very impractical to think that we could pull all foreign aid from other countries without backlash from the rest of the world.

Answer 9

Only because he is electable. Ron is not.

Answer 10

My candidate is Ron Paul..

EDIT: Tony again, and when did he make this statement? I watched that debate, please don't twist his words around.. He suggested we should reevaluate our foreign policy.. Our government's actions have unintended consequences called blow-back, which the CIA HAS CONFIRMED.. all his point was that yes there is a threat from the middle east, but our overseas actions to provoke reactions as well that we need to be cautious of.. In no way did he suggest that the citizens of the United States have anything to do with it, we are not the government, we don't make the policies they do...

And 9/11 commission report reiterates his argument

From the 9/11 Commission Report
proving Rudy Giuliani and blowback deniers wrong, from: http://ronpaul.typepad.com/my_weblog/200...

•pg. 57- The Persian Gulf War, seen by many as perhaps the most effective military victory in American history, had unintended consequences that American policymakers could never have predicted. When Saddam invaded Iraq, the US gathered a coalition, based out of Saudi Arabia, to liberate Kuwait. At this time, Bin Ladin "proposed to the Saudi monarchy that he summon mujahideen for a jihad to retake Kuwait." The Saudis said no and jumped in bed with the Americans. After further protests, Bin Ladin was booted from his homeland and went into exile. This cemented Bin Ladin's hatred of both the Saudi monarchy and the US, as they were now in partnership desecrating the holy lands.
•pg. 59- Bin Laden's first fatwa against the US (1992) was first and foremost a protest against American occupation of Muslim holy lands, specifically Saudi Arabia. It was not a call to kill Americans because they were rich and free, it was a call to expel American troops from Arab lands.
•pg. 48- Bin Ladin's 1996 fatwa against the United States was not a blanket condemnation of America and a call to arms to destroy the American nation. The fatwa declared the limited aim of driving US soldiers out of Saudi Arabia. The American presence in Saudi Arabia, a byproduct of America's promise to protect the Saudis from Saddam during the Persian Gulf War and beyond, infuriated Muslim fundamentalist because in their eyes, infidels were occupying the holy land. Bin Ladin also spent significant energy condemning the Saudi government for allowing this occupation.
•pg. 49- In discussing the grievances aired by Bin Ladin against the United States, the 9/11 Commission Report specifically calls out "the suffering of the Iraqi people as a result of the sanctions imposed after the Gulf War". Listen again to Guiliani's rebuke of Ron Paul over the idea of our involvement in Iraq playing in part of motivating al-Qaeda to attack America. If this is the most absurd explanation Guiliani has heard regarding the motives behind the planners and implementers of the 9/11 attacks, then I wonder (with dread) what he has been listening to.
•pg. 49- also lists American support of Israel as a major grievance of Bin Ladin.
•pg. 51- al-Qaeda's ultimate ambition is not specifically the destruction of the US- it's the establishment of the Caliphate to unify all Muslims. To Muslim fundamentalists, America's extensive involvement in the internal affairs of sovereign Muslim nations (the Shah, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Jordan, etc) props us secular governments and delays the future ascendancy of the Caliphate. Attacking America is not an end in itself, just a means (one of many) to another end. If they hated countries just for their freedoms, you would expect enormous terrorist attacks in Switzerland, Luxembourg, Iceland, and dozens of other countries. You don't, there's a reason.
•pg. 147- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the operational mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks and the Bojinka Plot, attended college in the United States and lived here for several years. Obviously, someone who lived here and then later orchestrated a murderous assault on our country hated us because of the freedoms, pleasures, and raunchy behavior we enjoy? No, it was because he hated our strongly favorable foreign policy preference for Israel.
•pg. 362- The Report reiterates that Muslim fundamentalist's hatred for America stems from "grievances stressed by Bin Laden and widely felt throughout the Muslim world." These grievances are absolutely political- US military presence in Arab lands, favoritism towards Israel, and policies perceived as anti-Muslim. The 9/11 Commission Report does not list our freedoms or wealth as a contributing motive for terrorist attacks against our nation.
