I am very curious?
He's got my vote. I'm advocating him at work too. Apparently a lot of people haven't even heard of him.
Overall I think Ron Paul is all right. There are some parts of his views I strongly disagree with, like reverting back to the Gold Standard, and his views on health-care. Despite that he's got my vote if he makes it. He's consistent on his tax policy and pledge to cut spending, views on states-right issues, and personal liberty.
i like him and im voting for him.
I like Ron Paul and will vote for him in the upcoming primaries and I will support him beyond that into the general elections and I will continue to be a part of this movement no matter what happens. The revolution is underway. We are at a precipice.
Ron Paul,seems like the best so far.
I am right with you on this one!!Quote:

Just youtube videos about him. You'll see that for yourself.
he's got my vote!
Ron Paul is the only one I will vote for.
He is the one I will vote for also.
Today driving home, I saw many lawns with his signs on them.
I'd like to surround our property with them. Any idea where I can get 30-40 signs? I'm totally on board.:hippy:

*Nature
Only one candidate speaks of change.
Only one candidate has shown extreme knowledge on subjects like the federal reserve, war, foreign policy, and personal liberties.
Only one candidate has shown the overwhelming emotion, and representation of the American people.
Only one candidate is actually using the constitution to decide his side of topics, rather than his own personal opinion or the options of his religious background.
That candidate is Ron Paul.
Obama, Clinton, McCain, and etc. don't want change, they just want to keep "tweaking" this current system that has been put into places over these last few presidential terms and like so many of the Ron Paul supporter base, the American people are tired of it, and really really want change.
Me.
If he makes it? He already made it. Register Republican and vote for him in the primaries.Quote:

Ron Paul wants to privatise many aspects of government that I do not think should be privatised. And he wants to deregulate many industries that I do not think should be deregulated.
I do not like Ron Paul.
Forget Ron Paul, vote RuPaul! RuPaul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Could you please go into some more detail on this?Quote:

I personally don't think Obama would even have a chance if he didn't look like he might be a young black guy (even this is up for debate!).Quote:

I don't feel that we are EVER going to have universal health care I don't know if you have noticed but the government is just money hungry. I don't even think ron paul could get a act together about universal health care. America is NOT about the FAMILY and other people they are about themselves so i don't feel anyone can get universal health care for the US
Have you ever had your emissions checked (your vehicle)? If you have, and you failed the test, you'd realize our current system of environmental protection doesn't work either. You fail that test, you pay them a fine, and you're off to go....You don't need to fix your car....you pay....and I don't think that money scrubs our air clean. As far as regulating emissions from factories, why can't states and the people do this? The only reason people are apathetic nowdays is because they've lived in a system they have no control in all their lives...when you have no control, why care? Caring in a system like that only leads to stress....Quote:

I'm not sure where you live, but the emissions control doesn't work that way here --- if you don't pass, you don't get a registration tag, and the car cannot be driven. Anyway, I'm not sure where you are going with that argument. Are you saying that pollution regulations don't work well enough, so we don't need them at all? I'm pretty sure that if no one was required to pass a smog check, and we just left it all up to individuals, then most people would not bother checking if their car was running clean or not, and the air would be dirtier.Quote:

I'm talking more about things like the endangered species act, clean air act, clean water act, and others that are handled at the federal level. Ron Paul's position is that imposing restrictions on what a person or company can do on their own land is a form of "taking" or "eminent domain" and he opposes it. He feels that if pollution or other environmental problem spills over onto someone elses land, then that other owner has a legal recourse to prevent the other person's pollution from polluting their land --- so it is all handled as a private property issue. It doesn't work. An endagnered species does not have it's own lawyers and doesn not own land, so that form of protection does not work for endangered species. Also, if you do not prevent pollution from occuring on an ongoing basis, then by the time the pollution has already occured and the second landowner decides to sue, the polluter can basically declare bankrupcy, and nothing gets done. I think sometimes a government agency is required to handle these things.
It's interesting that you think it should be every man for himself, but earlier you sounded like you were in support of universal health care. It doesn't seem consistent.Quote:

ill vote for paul, but the states and polls wont let us vote for him, or hardly actnoledge him
hes the only candidate that cares of the origional constitution
hes the only candidate that shows he cares for the citizens
hes the only candidate that says the citizens should have the say so
What do you mean they won't let you vote for him? Isn't he on your primary election ballot?Quote:

I am for it, I wish we could have a universal health care system, but then you get the lazy Americans just using US as their way of getting by in life. I dont want some white trash trailer trash sitting on their ass drinking a 40 of PBR belching and yelling to the wife to get him another! sorry that is just the hopeless America, now as you said I am may not sound consistent, I am a independent . . . only becuase i like everyones views on things, so i like everyone and dont like everyone for the same reasons
im voting for ron paul he has alot of interests that im for and besides hes for the legalization of marijuana thats not the only reason im voting for him tho
I'm not American but he's got my vote. :D
