P4B, I, too have read the plank statements from Ron Paul, and besides wanting to take away my Social Security and Medicare, yes, he did blame us for WWII ... he's a nutcase ... OK, so he's a nutcase that wants to legalize pot ... big deal ... I'm not willing to piss away my country over the ability to smoke more pot, but it looks like plenty of people are ...
I think maybe you misunderstood some of his points. He doesn't want to take away Social Security. On the contrary, he thinks the only way to save it is to allow people to opt out of it if they don't want to be in the program. My money is being STOLEN from me and I will never see it again. He is merely giving the option of getting out. He wants to change the social health care system, not get rid of it. Medicare only produces more bureaucratic inefficiency. I don't remember where I heard it, but I think I remember him saying that he would establish some sort of tax credit... I don't remember exactly.

I also don't know what you are talking about with him saying we are responsible for WWII or that we shouldn't have gone in. I watch almost every debate with him in it and I have never heard that. He has been misquoted before, so if you heard that sentence from anywhere but Ron Paul's mouth, that's probably the case. I do agree though with the pot thing. Not that I think that is the case with the Ron Paul movement, but I have met idiots like that before, too. Don't stereotype. I think stereotypes and expecting that people will act a certain way has caused most of the world's griefs throughout the millennium. Don't be a collectivist; everyone is an individual.
