This skeptic turned believer- Ron Paul 2012

**MeBad** · 03-07-12, 04:11 AM

I can't recall in my 37 years of living ever hearing a presidential candidate speak openly, honestly, and aggressively about the injustices that our own government has bestowed upon the ones it is supposed to work for. He has been a breath of fresh air in an era where people have apparently become incrementally desensitized to constitutional intrusions. It took me a while to make up my mind, but I have decided to support Paul. Nomination or not, he is getting my vote.

I don't care if I am the only one that votes for him. He is still getting my vote

You won't be the only one. He's the only candidate that I believe is sincere in what he says.

I thought all politicians were alike? Anyways, about the only good things Paul says are on foreign affairs for the most part. Other than that, he's crazy. Hell, even in your video he is talking about conspiracy theories like a mythical "North American Union." His domestic policies are appalling to me, and he definitely fits in perfectly with the Republican party on social issues.

I agree with this. Unfortunately, several his sincerely held beliefs are completely insane.

Links.... or it didn't happen.

I like a lot of Ron Pauls ideas....but he's said some stuff that is a little too far for me. Example, I don't think that doing away with the FED is a good idea...and I don't think dismantling the DOE is the solution either....but I undrstand giving education back to the states since its not explicitly given to the federal govt in the constitution.

Why would you keep the FED. It is a unsustainable system, that keeps the rich rich, poor poor, and middle class working over-time. Think about it. Every dollar they print must be paid back in interest. From the very moment the first dollar was printed it became worth less, and less, and less, and less, and less, and less. Now print 1.8 trillion (thank you very little Pres Obama) to bail out "too big to fail" losers, and you end up where we are today. How can you pay off a interest debt, when you have to borrow money with interest to pay it off? There must be something of value to off-set this. It used to be gold, now it is thin air.
