You, Zimzum, Angry Nomad, and a few others clearly understand his political positions, but Paul is dependant on "uninformed fanatics" that make up his base. That is just my opinion of what Ron Paul is doing, not trying to bad mouth any supporters here. Please don't take offense, I am trying to make a point about "how" Ron Paul conducts himself not about members of this forum.


Could not agree with you and Paul more on these political positions, however when you choose who you vote for for president, 1 key factor is, CAN THEY GET IT DONE, as Rusty has pointed out, and even by Paul's own admission, he likely could not. Why vote for him if he can't actually DO the things he talks about? Those are really fundamental conservative values.


You are in the minority of Paul supporters my friend! I bet if we started a poll here saying "why do you support Ron Paul" the and listed 4 choices and 1 of them was "he will legalize weed" you would see what I am talking about.

And this would be where you lose me, sorry! This is the part of the Ron Paul dogma that I disagree with, not in total, but in premise. Things aren't as bad as he thinks, and they aren't as bad as what he is telling people to believe. This is where he joins the Hate America crowd. And his stance on the war is waay out there. Although I agree with him that we should not interfere with Isreal and allow them to handle some shit as I know they could and would have already. But I don't believe much else he has to offer on the topic.:thumbsup:
Well i'm glad that i could help you see what some true Ron Paul supporters see and why we are so inspired. :s4: And to give you some actual information instead of just my opinion. However i still have to disagree with you on the economy. You should watch this video a couple times and really grasp whats going on. I think the economy is in a much worse shape then what most people perceive. I'm much more scared of the value of the dollar dropping or our economy crashing then a bunch of "terrorist threats" that all of the other candidates yak about. :smokin:
