I think he has excellent ideas and could be exactly what the U.S. needs. However, i don't believe he has the support to pull off the presidency.
he's definitely the smartest candidate on that side of the aisle, but he would never win the election because he isn't bought out enough by the companies that pocket the wallet of the country.
I disagree with about 50% of his views (LONG COMMENT).
CONS OF RON PAUL:
ABORTION: Wants to end abortion rights; removing abortion from federal court jurisdiction, allowing each state to decide abortion legality. Bad enough as this is alone, Ron Paul is also pushing for a Sanctity of Life Act, which federally mandates that life begins at conception. Therefore, it would not matter whether a state wants to allow abortion or not, as fetuses will be regarded as fully-fledged US citizens and therefore abortion at any stage would be equated to murder.
SOCIAL SAFETY NETS: Doesn't believe in Medicare or Social Security, deems them socialistic.
FOOD/DRINK REGULATION: Opposes common sense FDA regulations. Eg. against bans of deadly/dangerous food products such as raw milk which can contain deadly bactera such as salmonella, E. coli and Listeria.
SEXUALITY: Believes that state governments should be able to regulate citizens' sexuality. Personally aposes sodomy laws, but thinks states have the right to make them.

PROS OF RON PAUL:
NDAA: Opposes NDAA, deems it as unconstitutional and destructive of Americans' freedom and right to trial before imprisonment.
SOPA: Opposed SOPA, deems it is as unconstituional and restrictive of Americans' freedom (to access information and also to exercise their freedom of speech right).
FOREIGN POLICY: Opposes war in all previous cases and wants radical reform of US foreign policy including more stringent rules on when the US military should be allowed to deploy to other countries for battle.
DRUGS: Wants decrease in mandatory minimum sentences, thinks current non-violent drug users in incarceration should be discharged and in future cases non-violent drug users should not be detained. Wants legalisation of drugs and decriminalisation of drug users.
FEDERAL RESERVE: Wants to shut it down!
SO, would I vote for him if I lived in the US, very possibly. Compared to all the other candidates he has a lot more positives! However, are these positives worth having the negatives? Personally I think that's someone all potential Ron Paul voters should consider.
You forget sir that Ron Paul understands that the federal government can't mess with the issue of abortion that is a reserved power of the state. Ron Paul in essence his view is this, do what you want but do not hurt me or others in the process. This is especially so in marijuana's case. If you vote for any other candidate you are going to get the same shit just a different asshole. Plain and simple.
Ron Paul is a converted racist. I like that he converted...which means that he admitted to it and then changed publically. His foreign policy views reflect this. He's kind of a nut though on other points so he'll never have enough support
Yea a lot of the things I'm for, he seems to be for it too. But then I think he's too good to be true? I need to do more research. Not all politicians are perfect though
Too good to be true...and if he becomes president then its because he was a puppet all along
First, im an atheist, and the antichrist is just a tool invented by christians to use against people in power
Second, its wierd. Im almost gonna regret not voting for him because i like about 75% of his views, but the 25% that i dont like is just so bad that i just couldn't vote for him
Christians were a tiny persecuted minority when the Antichrist was invented (about the year 90 or 96, by an old man who was exiled to a small island for much of his life). If the concept has been useful in that manner, then it's only accidental. And he's probably just joking about the AC thing. Besides, the sources say that the AC will rule the world and Ron Paul looks to have about as much chance of doing that before he dies as Oprah does of being Earth Empress.
They're ALL the anti-christ... Why do people bother with this crap anymore? They're all in cahoots.
