Paul/Obama in '08!
What the hell am I saying!
Paul is amoung the last of the straight shooting real republicans.
He is not a repug.
He knows that the true republican party has been hijacked.
Lets hope his voice is heard.
But of course Sam and Brutus and their ilk prefer that his voice is squelched.
Right boys?
Right! (but I consider myself a real man).
Ron Paul has already run for president on the Libertarian ticket. I believe it was in the late 1980s, but I could be wrong.
He ran in 88.
I am sort of surprised you endorse him, though. In addition to opposing the war, he also opposes us getting involved in Sudan, the UN, the income tax and the cabinet, and wants to bring back the gold standard.
Ron Paul is not a true Republican he’s a Libertarian (former presidential candidate for that party) who has somehow found refuge in the GOP.
Does he at least have a kilt? 
This would be funnier if it was Rupaul. Or Ron Jeremy.
I’d vote for either of 'em.
Ron Paul…Zell Miller…
We’ve all got our crosses to bear Reeder.
Ron Paul is a good man. He’s a Libertarian who’s a Republican because unfortunately anybody with the word “Libertarian” under their name on the ballot is pretty much unelectable.
ow, my jaw hurts trying to not laugh maniaically at that.
Hedgehog in '08!!
Not usually the reason one’s jaw might hurt regarding Ron Jeremy…
Truthfully, I think that anyone who wants to go back to the gold standard doesn’t really understand economics. And I’m not sure why you’d want to get rid of the cabinet… any CEO needs his assistants and specialists. Does he want to reduce their power? Other than that… seems decent to me.
Ron Paul is a RINO.
Yes, we’d gotten that. But thanks.
He doesn’t want to get rid of the Cabinet, just most of the Cabinet departments. He believes things like the Department of Education, of Energy, of Health and Human Services, the SEC, the IRS, Social Security, etc. are unconstitutional encroachments of federal power.
Who else falls under this category? Snow? Specter? Chaffee? Anyone to the left of Santorum?
Well, I entirely agree, in theory, but… darn, where’s my … Aha. In this thread I discuss reforming the Republican party. I made the note that, while my ultimate goals may not be too different from Mr. Paul’s, I think a gradualist method may be best.
In short: Yeah, so… there’s something wrong with wanting the government to butt the hell out of your life?
