The more the religious right highjacked the republican party over the last decade plus, the more disilliusioned I became. I don't want to hear what Rick Santorumand his ilk wax on about Christian values and nonsense like that. I just want smaller, more efficient, effective federal government and better use of my tax dollars. Along comes Sarah Palindrome and Michelle Bachman and I just had to tune out...seriously, we can't even muster an intelligent candidate. So I stopped paying attention. But I've been paying attention to this thread and I have yet to hr something from Ron Paul that I disagree with. He may have drawbacks, but I've yet to figure out what they are.
Thank you very much Luko! You have just made this whole thread worth the time invested, just stay tuned and maybe you can get as amped about this guy as I am. While it's fun to banter with Amos, its kinda like preaching to the converted. I learned alot about libeterianism from him lol. Anyhow thanks Luko and don't hesitate to post any good stuff you find in here. Same for anyone else.
Hey Wes, I'm the frickin choir. Ron's just a little boring. What we really need if for more liberal airheads to join in and try to argue against his positions. They trip on their tongues and its very amusing.
Tea Party, moral majority, Ross Perot? All the same sentiment. The masses of reasonable people must either penetrate one of the extremes, or be patriots in other ways. I'm all about other ways, but I would hope saner minds prevail.
Hey Wes. I'm hearing more and more liberals, those who are liberal only on the issue of war, defending Paul. Not a chance he could get the Rep nomination, but he might be able to swing some of the anit-war faction, and it is large, to see things more conservatively. Too many liberal democrats are democrats because of one particular issue.

I'll go one further, I'd say he has a decent chance if he makes a third party run. Alot of liberals are pissed off that Obama is continuing that assault on the middle east. Everyday more and more conservatives wake up and realize being republican and being conservative have nothing to do with each other. The decimation of the US economy/value of the dollar, continues no matter which of these parties are in office and the people are waking up to this fact.
I would like to see the spirit of patriots totally envelope the Republican Party. A third party movement only gets you a presidency. I would like to see the Ron Pauls of the country take over that party.

I think a Ron Paul presidency would really help that rally. We just need more people to open their eyes. A little freedom will lead to the desire for more.
People are always afraid of anyone who has what they think are “extreme” views. Obama just appointed someone who’s said he’s in favor of a national sales tax. Do I think that’ll happen? Probably not. Do I think we’ll go back to the gold standard if Ron Paul were elected, probably not. Do I think he’ll be able to automatically withdraw all of the troops, probably not. Would I vote for him? Probably. Yah gotta look at the candidate as a whole.
