Ron paul has some admirable traits, I admit. The thing about Ron paul that scares me is the fact he would Privatize everything that government does now. If you trust corporations to run the country even more than they do now, then Ron Paul is your guy. I can't go along with this platform because for a fact, corporations have no conscience and only exist for the bottom line. This would further widen the gap between the rich and poor and hasten the departure of the "middle class". On his good points, less government interferance in our lives would be a welcome thing, But, by privatizing all govt. entities, like cops, courts etc. do you believe with private prisons being built faster than greased lightning, the private cops who would probably work on a bonus system wouldnt be more ruthless than the ones we have now. No the privatization of America has gone far enough, the corporation already have a stranglehold on government. Just look at how Haliburton has raped the American taxpayer, and that is only what we know. If the Dems grow some balls, the real carnage of money squandering might be revealed. Ron Paul is too far out to be running this country.
