Thread: Ron Paul

I know that in the Brain Stew section we're supposed to write elaborate thoughts and opinions, however, my question is very straightforward yet very complex.



Do you support Ron Paul?

Which of his view attract or repulse you, and why?

I personally love the man, and will be voting for him if he makes it into the finals (primaries? I forget the word) in 2012. His views mirror mine almost perfectly. His views on taxes, guns, the federal government, healthcare, etc. He stands for liberty as he knows it best. He doesn't pledge to make all the whiners happy, he truly just wants to give us the most amount of liberty.

I'm not American but I have to say that I'm a fan. He gives logical truthful answers... which aren't radical in their own right but seem that way when you look at the field of crazy candidates he's in. I sometimes wonder how you guys take some of them seriously. Anyway, I agree with his approach to foreign policy and saving money in general.

I definitely agree with some of what Paul stands for (his foreign policy, his drug stance, and well as his economic views to an extent), but some of his proposals are simply loony. Eliminating the Departments of Energy, Education, and Health and Human Service would be disastrous.

Global warming is "the greatest hoax I think that has been around for many, many years." -Ron Paul
I cannot respect any human who makes these baseless claims.

Too much liberty is a dangerous thing ;)

I'm not talking about "too much" liberty. I'm talking about him promising to give Americans the rights they deserve as humans. Not to be spied on, not to be bothered about personal drug use, not to have your money taken and given to others, etc.

I agree with you on drugs, but I'd make the case that wiretapping and welfare have improved our society. It's all subjective though.

I've been following Ron Paul for awhile now. I agree that there shouldn't be too much liberty but on the contrary I would not like my privacy invaded. It's about balance.

The champion of liberty.
Obviously, I support him.

I think he's the only person who can save this world, if he will be president.
He's the only one who wants audit the FED and cut a trillion on his first year, arithmetically, he is the only candidate who can save the dollar from collapsing and the world from economical armageddon and possibly WW4.

Liberty to me is small government, no taxes, no wars, no aid and no bailouts, no discrimination between winners and losers, free market, privacy. No corporatocracy government (AKA fascism), no chemtrials. No more conspiracies to influence public opinion. And the list goes on.

I think Ron Paul and his son Rand can really change the world and make it better place.

Yeah, everyone bitches about him cutting programs, not understanding that America is over 2 trillion dollars in debt. You could throw armfuls of hundred dollar bills out of your window as a fulltime job for the rest of your life and never reach that amount of debt.
