I have researched Free Market Economics and find a lot of good in their arguments. I also find a lot of good with what he says. Though I'm not a hundred percent sure how I feel about supporting capitalism, I do believe he would be a step in the right direction for this country. What do you think about him and his views? And can you give me the reason collectivists economics are better than Free Market? I would lover to hear what you have to say about the matter. I am a very open minded person and I like to go where the evidence is strongest.

Fuck him. I hope he wins, though, just out of morbid curiosity.

He's considering adding Kucinich as his secretary of defence (or, this case, peace).  I would vote for him if he went through with that.

And if I was American.

while i agree with Ron Paul on his views on ending the wars and legalizing drugs, I would not vote for him
due to his sponsoring a bill to end Roe vs. Wade, he is very much against a woman's right to choose, including
in the cases of rape and incest, he wants to end both social security and medicaid, apparently only the rich
have the right to medical help and retirement, he is scary uber-religious wanting to curtail separation of church
and state and his comments about how the civil rights act of 1964 diminished civil liberties and his opposition
to anti-discrimination legislation makes me wonder where he stands on the rights of minorities. While he does have
some views I agree with I am just not comfortable with his many views that I consider too bigoted and conservative.

I like his views on foreign policy... but like Vandevick said, his domestic policies are too conservative. Still, I'm not American, so I don't have to weight the costs and benefits of voting for him. I would love it if he were in power and got the US to stop bombing my people...

Thing is, people hear "End Medicaid" and stuff and think he's trying to protect the rich. But if you learn about Austrian Economics and Free Markets you'll learn that it only helps the poor have greater access to these things. http://www.therightp...on-in-cuts-and- Also, I found this to be quite a cool thing.

There is no reason to support RP if you're not a capitalist. End of story.

OK his views abortion are harsh and irrational but i can understand why he feels that way on abortion based on the fact that before becoming involved in politics he was a practicing OB/GYN doctor so yeah that's reasonable, but the main thing that stands out for me is his policy on national defense. we have been at war on two different fronts. well "officially" declared war in Afghanistan, and illegally at war in Iraq for the last decade and fighting both wars has sent us into a fiasco financially. So instead of fighting useless battles costing the deaths of thousands of lives (not just Americans, but Iraqi's, Kurds, etc)and stopping illegal wiretapping that goes against the Constitution, and the ideals of our Forefathers founded America on. He will instead focus on legitimate issues. Plus he's willing to end nation building in other country's that our draining us dry financially, and fix things here at home instead of having us become hated, hypocritical global police as Bush and Obama have done. Plus he's pro 2nd Amendment, and that's a good thing in my book based on how civilization as a whole is turning more violent with every passing day.

[Black Cat]

He's honestly against a woman's right to choose an abortion in case of rape?

Can you Americans please stop considering to vote crazy people into office? You're scaring me.  

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I was gonna say:"Why should the fact, that he was a practicing Gyn, explain an anti-choice stance"? Shouldn't this make him pro-choice actually, because he would care for his patients well-being? But then I realized that it's mostly the doctors in an emergency room, who have to deal with women dying from an infection and other injuries they got from a back alley abortion, and probably not the trained gynecologist who refused to do the procedure.

Anonymous has exposed Ron Paul with links to white supremists, there is also a video of him giving a pretty skewded version of the civil war in front of a confederate flag.  enough said.

"I'm an anarchist, I'm gonna vote for Ron Paul!"

[EatShitAndCry]

Seriously though, what kind of fucking anarchist votes at all? It's completely counter-intuitive to the philosophy of anarchism.

All politicians are scum, because they seek power over other people.

Oh, and RuPaul > Ron Paul.
