but the fact he's still a social conservative would stop me from voting for him.

You've said this a couple times now, but, in what way would Ron Paul 'vote' like a social conservative?

I've been under the impression that he doesn't believe the government should be entangled in a number of these issues differing quite a bit from a 'social conservative'.

Legalized Drugs and isolationist foreign polcy are not high enough in my want list to vote for or outweigh a persons negatives.

Edit: he also had a newsletter that published very racist and derogatory things. It may not been from his mouth directly but its bad - stuff like the la riots will end as soon as they pick up their welfare checks.

I can guarantee you Ron Paul will disappoint you, the same way Obama disappointed me. He wont get shite changed, even if the way he wants to change things is back in time.


I guaranteed you that Obama would disappoint and I was right and you were wrong. Obama got his shot anyways.

We know Obama is going to suck if he gets a 2nd term. It's time for Ron Paul to get a shot. You're not always right.

Ron Paul is more liberal than Obama. He's just less socialist.

Abolishing Social Security and medicare?
Repealing HCR act?
Destroying the VA health care system?
Empowering church based education while dismantling the Dept of Education?
Removing all environmental regulations?
Removing all financial regulations?
Giving all the power to corporations and local government and removing all protections for individuals gained in the past 200 years?

You call that liberal?

You are an idiot.

I'd rather have Obama. At least Obama is strong on foreign policy and defense

I side with Ptilk on this. He seems very well informed for an Outposter

All president's disappoint; it's to the degree that's in question. I don't regret voting for Obama one bit. I will be voting for him again next time around and I won't regret that either.

Obama has been a typical Democratic President. Forgettable for the most part. I'll take that any day over another shit like Shrub or Reagan. They actively destroy our country which is a hell of a lot worse than not helping it enough...which is what Obama is guilty of.

Paul wants to destroy our country. Literally. He wants us to become a loosely connected mob of independent fiefdoms who bicker and struggle with each other while oppressing the shit out of their citizens in order to let "real people" (corporations, rich, well connected, and others that meet his criteria for "worthwhile" take total control.

It's the Ayn Rand vision of heaven. The average person shuts the hell up and lets the "do'ers" make the decisions because they earned it by having more money than you. And screw that helping your fellow man and making the country as a whole a better place. The only role government should serve in his mind is to keep out of the damn way and let the "do'ers" do their thing.

No minimum wage
No work place safety rules
No Social Security
No health care for kids
No health care for injured veterans
No environmental regulations
No food safety regulations
No limits on religious intrusion into government
No protection for the weak from the powerful

Let everyone take care of themselves and screw the ones that cant, even if they are children or disabled or black or gay or female or poor or uneducated or whatever. It's not our problem, corporations will solve all those problems if we just let them.


You would have to be a complete idiot to support that kind of philosophy. But then....this is the US so I suspect the man will get a lot of support.

I don't think that most of the people who support the nut bag at this time have really thought about what his philosophy would mean if it was enacted. Once they do.....his numbers will drop back to nut bag status where they belong.
