There's absolutely NO reason to NOT vote for Ron Paul.
Rotorhead, tax and spending? I don't know where you're getting your information, but Ron Paul has never, not once, voted to raise taxes... want proof? Go to ontheissues.org - also, Ron Paul is for ELIMINATION of the IRS so that the government will get off our backs and out of our pockets. And spending? I'm pretty sure Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who is even talking about the biggest way we CAN cut back on spending which includes bringing our troops home ASAP since this unneccesary war is putting this country trillions upon trillions in debt.
And for all of those who spoke of Paul being an isolationist? I am finding it HILARIOUS that ever since McCain made that statement the impressionable naive people who watched that debate are beginning to quote that against Ron as well without doing their own research, well let me just tell you this.. Ron Paul is not an isolationist. Ron Paul is simply for TALKING out problems with other countries instead of bombing them simply because they do not agree with us. America has accomplished more with other countries through peace and trade than we ever have with war. We don't need to have our military stationed in Korea and Japan and Europe to tell them how to run their country.. we've had troops there for 15 years or more and it's done nothing but put this country trillions in debt. Our government does NOT need to be policing the world! No wonder, with our government's aggressive attitude, America is even losing it's allies... the way this country is run now is more isolated than it has been in YEARS!

Ron Paul would be the greatest thing to to happen to this country since before Reagan. The comments made by non-supporters aren't even true. They are twisted statements he has made and taken out of context. Ron Paul is for upholding the constitution, defending our civil liberties and doing away with the government's yearly theft of our hard-earned money. If you disagree with his position, you essentially disagree with the constitution. In that case, there needs to be a constitutional amendment. The problem you're having isn't with Ron Paul, it's with Ben Franklin, George Washington, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, etc. These people fled from the very issues being implemented in our country today. America was built upon personal liberty. Ron Paul wants to give that back to us and the fact that another person needs to GIVE it back is because someone has taken it.

you may desire to vote for Congressman Paul in case you have faith in his platform: a million) end the conflict in Iraq (phased redeployment & securing stability in Iraq as we carry our troops domicile) 2) Returning to economic duty and shifting in direction of balanced budgets. 3) reducing taxes for center type families. (via slicing government spending, so taxpayers do no longer go through the burden of paying off the national debt) (4) guard borders & end amnesty for illegals (5) well being Care Reform (low value, solid & accessible) (6) be certain all veterans get carry of the advantages they have earned & the help they choose (7) honest commerce (end NAFTA & different unfair commerce agreements that outsource jobs) (8) constrained government (9) battling international situatiions via international relatives (10) ending company & particular interest effect in Washington

I have not yet made a determination on which candidate, either Republican or Democrat, to vote for. However, my vote will be for the person best suited for the position, and not because of their political party.

He is a liberal republican.
I don't feel he is capable of running a country. He "feels" we can make peace in the middle east hahahah. I quote feels because that is how liberals base their decisions, on how they feel. Not by what they think based on facts. They do what they feel in their heart is right.
Even just listening to him talk he just doesn't seem that he would be a strong leader.
In 1996, Paul was re-elected to Congress after a tougher battle than he had faced in the 1970s. Since the Republicans had taken over both houses of Congress in the 1994 election, Paul entered the race hopeful that his Constitutionalist goals of tax cuts, closing agencies, and curbing the UN would have more influence,[49] but he quickly concluded "there was no sincere effort" toward his goals.
What does that tell you???

Well I like that he wants to end the war but I would not vote for Ron Paul for two reasons: first, he wants to reform/abolish almost everything; and two, his goals include completely isolating our country from the rest of the world.
Paul wants to completely reform the federal government, which is good, but he wants to reform EVERYTHING. To do this he wants to abolish the CIA, FBI, Department of Education, Income Tax, and dozens of other federal departments and divisions.
And as for isolation, Paul thinks it’s a good idea to withdraw from the UN and NATO, as well as the World Trade Organization. Isolating ourselves from the rest of the world is not good foreign policy.
Other problems that I have with Ron Paul include: he thinks a fence will solve our immigration problem (he voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006), he wants to abolish income tax which will leave our government with no money to protect or serve our country, he wants to solve the inflation problem by stopping the printing new money and by legalizing gold and silver as legal tender, he says issues such as abortion should be left to the states yet he introduced the federal Sanctity of Life Act, he stands up for the Constitution but wants to let the states decide on civil liberties such as marriage rights, he opposes the war on drugs, and more, more, more.
Ron Paul is a problem for America.

I'm not liking his opinions on abortion (he's pro-life), nor his feelings about the don't ask, don't tell policy in the military (he is in favor of it). I also don't like that he seems to be in support of prayer in schools.
I'm conflicted -- on one hand, I'd like to give him a protest vote just b/c of the extreme hatred we share for the Patriot Act, but on the other hand I'd never want him to actually be president. I don't know what to do....

He's an isolationist.
His ideas are unworkable and Congress would approve about ZERO of them. So we'd have another weak president like Bush.
His is against abortion rights, even for health reasons and rape (at least is my understanding).
He is pandering to southern bigotry and racism by using the "states rights" buzzword, which is always a signal to the South that it can trample on human rights as it chooses. He uses this term in exchange for votes.
He is a libertarian, which to me is the worst possible set of political ideas since communism.

Because I hate the Constitution, I love paying high taxes, and I want to live in a socialist welfare police state. I also love war and killing people
