Well maybe that is what we need. A president that will stand for the people in the face of a corrupt congress and senate. He has stood for us for 30 years by himself, shouldn't we at least stand with him now?

Don't you guys understand NONE of the stuff he is espousing would happen. None.



Literally nothing would get done in his 4 year term. And talk about do nothing, God forbid a major war broke out in the middle east. Ron Paul would make Jimmy Carter look like Hitler.

huh? Ron Paul is a non-interventionist and would not go to war without a declaration. Are you on medication Corky?

Paul is an isolationist. He wants to dismantle NATO and withdraw from the UN. He would do absolutely nothing and let Israel and the middle east burn if it were up to him.

So? What does the UN do for the US? Oh, that's right...they use us as their muscle. Israel and the Middle East? Uh, well, I don't see us being responsible to be the playground police for the whole world.

/Again, what's the problem?

really Corky... really? You don't know the difference between Isolationism and Non-Interventionism? Are you really that dense.. so are you like 16 years old? Is wanting to lift trade sanctions against Cuba isolationism?

Yah. ... I'm not seeing the negative of letting the sand box take care of its own problems. Israel decided to brute force its way back in to the mess, and they've had decades of hand outs from the US that have made them a super power in the region. They need to put on their big boy pants and start fighting their own wars.

Don't waste your vote with this guy, des. None of his policies would pass the senate and his positions are downright dangerous. He would be a lame duck president the minute he is sworn in.

Breathe in some reason!



Didn't you get the memo? Obama changed all that waiting around crap and trying to get the required votes. If they don't act then he will! The left would certainly support Ron Paul if he did the same... right?

Rather than explain reality 101 and the world we live in, I will say that if you withdraw US forces and recall our presence from around the globe, another power will fill the vacuume. I am willing to bet the world will be a much more unstable place and we would not be as prosperous as a direct result.

Ron's careless ideas as policy would suffer our country real consequence.

I've always said ron paul's supporters are his biggest enemy. The fact the frenchy supports him is all the convincing i need not to ever think about voting for him.

If ron paul wasn't a laissez faire idiot I'd vote for him just to see some real discourse. But he is. Sorry d00d.
