WHAT DO you think about Ron Paul?

Question

tell me your view and opinons about him...
HES GOING TO CHANGE THE UNITED STATES

Answer 1

I am behind him 100%. For some reason the media has annointed Huckleberry and his Rudy. And even shows like MSNBC don't bother to list he poll results for Ron Paul -- they give us Huckleberry, Rudy, McCain, and Thompson and stop.

Once again the media is trying to narrow the field instead of allowing the Primary Process to do its job. We need some election laws related to media coverage...because we have a huge imbalance here.

We always say that we believe any American can run for President...and theoretically any American ought to be able to win. Current media practices seem intent on giving us the same old, stale politics we have suffered with for the past 20 years.

Go Ron Paul!

Answer 2

The only honest candidate. Every one else is for further opressing the american people. Whether neo con or lib , the odds are the next president wont change much of anything. Ron paul has the intelligent vote which unfortunately in this country isnt much. Everyone gets caught up arguing over matters that the president has no power over and fail to notice that this country is sinking fast, the difference between a hillary presidency and a huckabee presidency is minimal.

Answer 3

He is a free market supply sider guy. Everything for the rich, let the poor eat cake. The free market concept is fools gold, never has worked and never will. Ron Paul would put the repubs back in charge, and that means the GW admin all over again. None of the promises will be kept, numerous excuses will be made, and the repub sheeples will baaaa as usual.

Answer 4

Actually, Ron Paul is a twit. He is NOT going to change the United States -- and that is a very good thing indeed. His views on monetary and foreign policy are asinine.

Answer 5

He's the only candidate that speaks logically and truthfully. Here's an article he recently wrote as evidence to that fact.

Bombed if you do, Bombed if you Don't

By Ron Paul

12/11/07 "ICH" -- -- The latest National Intelligence Estimate has been greeted by a mixture of relief and alarm. As I have been saying all along, Iran indeed poses no quantifiable imminent nuclear threat to us or her neighbors. It is with much alarm, however, that we see the administration continue to ratchet up the war rhetoric as if nothing has changed.

Indeed nothing has changed from the administration's perspective, as they have had this latest intelligence report for some time. Only this week has it been made known to the public. They want it both ways with Iran. On the one hand, they discredit the report entirely, despite it being one of the most comprehensive intelligence reports on the subject, with over 1,000 source notes in the document. On the other hand, when discrediting it fails, they claim that the timing of the abandonment of the weapons program, just as we were invading Iraq, means our pressure must have worked, so we must keep it up with a new round of even tougher sanctions. Russia and China are not buying this, apparently, and again we are finding ourselves on a lonely tenuous platform on the world stage.

The truth is Iran is being asked to do the logically impossible feat of proving a negative. They are being presumed guilty until proven innocent because there is no evidence with which to indict them. There is still no evidence that Iran, a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has ever violated the treaty's terms – and the terms clearly state that Iran is allowed to pursue nuclear energy for peaceful, civilian energy needs. The United States cannot unilaterally change the terms of the treaty, and it is unfair and unwise diplomatically to impose sanctions for no legitimate reason.

Are we to think that Iran hasn't noticed the duplicitous treatment being received by so-called nuclear threats around the globe? If they have been paying attention, and I think they have, they would see that if countries do have a nuclear weapon, they tend to be left alone, or possibly get a subsidy, but if they do not gain such a weapon then we threaten them. Why wouldn't they want to pursue a nuclear weapon if that is our current foreign policy? The fact remains, there is no evidence they actually have one, or could have one any time soon, even if they immediately resumed a weapons program.

Our badly misguided foreign policy has already driven this country's economy to the brink of bankruptcy with one war based on misinformation. It is unthinkable that despite lack of any evidence of a threat, some are still charging headstrong into yet another war in the Middle East when what we ought to be doing is coming home from Iraq, coming home from Korea, coming home from Germany and defending our own soil. We do not need to be interfering in the internal affairs of other countries and waging war when honest trade, friendship, and diplomacy are the true paths to peace and prosperity.

Answer 6

I admire his respect for the Constitution of the United States

I hope that his running will give more attention to the unnecessary and unconstitutional bureaucracy the Federal government has become.

He won't win and I don't support him.

If he would have ran in 2000 I would have supported him but allot changed on 11Sep01 that he does not see the need to react to.

Answer 7

He has been hard at work for many years---trying to get this nation on the correct path with its domestic and foreign policies. For others in congress who agree and support him see:

Answer 8
