Ron Paul served as a Flight Surgeon in the Air Force and the Air National Guard. Ron Paul supports a strong military and is not afraid to use force when it's needed. Ron Paul was against the war after 9/11, not because he didn't think force was necessary, but because he doesn't think a "war" should start without Congress announcing war- he thinks we should proclaim war approved by Congress, go in there, win, and leave. No more of these never-ending "wars" that aren't technically wars... no more troops in other countries (when there is no war).Democrates and Bill clinton are trying and were trying to destroy America.Republicans take care of our country as a whole democrates worry about each individual which can not be done and keep a country running fully.You have to support the greater cause instead of the individual persons wants or desirers.Im voting republican as always but not sure on Ron Paul I like the idea of marijuana decriminalization but want a strong president who understands the need for a strong miltary and to not be afraid to use force where force is needed.
Great quote, rings very true.He is what Republicans once were. That is small government, civil-liberty respecting, states-rights kind of people who actually beleive in the Constitution. Although he is certainly has a libertarian streak to him. Republicans are now big-spending, fear-mongering, immigrant-hating, one-religion neo-cons. Ron Paul is the ONLY republican candidate who believes the war on drugs is a total disaster. Rudy and the rest of them will continue the raids on medical marijuana patients and further their imposition of morality on us law breakers.
One might find it interesting that these type of people, the moral majority, were the same types that used the fear of immigrants and reefer madness to ban marijuana in 1937.
Im not a Republican. If I was, I would vote for Dr. Paul

I agree we should pick the best canidate regardless of a party. It just so happens that I missed my state's deadline (Dec 7th) to switch parties to vote for Dr. Paul. I certaily sent him some $$$ (sounds kind of funny that a Democrat would send $$ to a republican. I find myself agreeing with much that he stands for) Speaking of his record, he is certainly the most conservative member of congress (what conservatives used to be at least.)Great quote, rings very true.
However, as I've kept saying this thread...
If someone has finally come along speaking the truth, and has the Congressional record to prove it- WHO CARES WHAT "PARTY" THEY ARE FROM.
THE PURPOSE OF A DEMOCRACY IS THAT YOU CHOOSE A CANDIDATE BASED ON YOUR PERSONAL BELIEFS,
NOT THE BELIEFS OF A GROUP YOU'VE LATCHED ONTO.
Sorry to hear my friend. I hope you are still doing your part- "make up" for your missing vote Another great quote....I agree we should pick the best canidate regardless of a party.

there going to gang up on you and call you stuped leave now lol give them hellMan am I late to the party. Ron has allot of support up here so far which is surprising. He says allot of the right things about current situations. I agree with him in many places. However he is still a republican which means he still prescribes to a certain set of ideals. I really think the idea of limiting the job to two candidates is a foolish and broken system. I really think it's going to be democratic this time. I am not thrilled with the fact that some want to hand the job to Hillary right now. She would be very bad for the job. It's a damn shame too. I really like the idea that we have come so far that we have finally accepted the thought of a woman,blackman and latin american running for president. Then I wake up and realize the reason they are taking these candidates serious is how bad things have been.
Hillary is no democrat. She is to the democratic party what Ron is to the republican party. She has a track record of not only throwing our liberties to the wind to serve her own agenda but also has sold out more than once to pharmaceutical and other lobbying. She also was asked awhile back if she would still vote to go to war if she knew what she does now and she said yes. That automatically ruins her for me.
Like I said before Ron Paul says allot of the right things for the present but to me only a fool would not say most of the things he is saying. He has some way out there ideas that even I cannot get on board with. He is not for small government he is for almost no government. That only leads to the privatization of everything which leads to the capatalistic mess we are in now getting worse.
I absolutely agree with checking into whom you're voting for. Ron Paul has the cleanest record in Congress.. and he isn't for no government. He's for nearly no FEDERAL Government.. he wants the local governments to handle almost everything. Letting, we the people, have a say in the area we live in.Man am I late to the party.

Ron Paul doesn't "look like a Republican" when he's standing next to people who are the furthest thing from republican.. for some reason the normal beliefs of a conservative republican are no longer the definition of a Republican...Ron Paul is the only one in the republican race that stands for traditional conservative Republican beliefs.

Let us remember- we had NONE NONE NONE NONE of these taxes 100 years ago- also at the time we were the most prosperous nation in the world (for real, not just because the mass media told us), we had NO national debt, we had the largest middle class in the world, and moms stayed at home..
Ron Paul is the only candidate who wants to start hacking away at this list of taxes effecting the American people- and unlike other candidate's he wants to replace them with NOTHING.
This list isn't even including the most dire- the "inflation tax". The US dollar dropping in value "taxes" Americans already struggling financially. The printing of money out of thin air by the Federal Reserve (a PRIVATELY OWNED BANK BTW) is wrecking the American economy- why is Ron Paul the only candidate standing up for the middle class American population?!
no..you are right he does not sound very republican...except for the racist comments he made early in his career..
Thanx.Gawd! She sounds like a macro-economist! A smart lady. Great legs. What a combination.
no..if your a racist your a republican...
I think that is pretty close to accurate. Besides, Hillery has a huge percentage of people who will come out to vote against her in the general election. So, a primary vote for Hillary helps most republicans in the general election.If you want to keep Bushes tradition alive go ahead and vote for Hilary. She's the next puppet in line by the powers that be. Democrats, Republicans they're the same team you fool. Wake up.
LOL, I kinda feel like he was still calling me a racist...and I'm not. But Bongspit seems like a good guy I'm sure he didn't mean to say we are all racist...lol. Politics gets a little heated sometimes which I think we all understand, everyone is entitled to their say.That was such a stupid thing to say. It makes you sound like a complete idiot. Don't you think you should apologize for the retarded claim?
