What About Ron Paul?  email this discussion to a friend?

I have heard some about Ron Paul, and think that somewhere I've read a little about his stand and or beliefs within the American political system.

What do you feel are his good or bad points?

I can't remember what he was for and against, and I'm curious.

Thanks

C. C.

There is a website called www.ontheissues.org that will summarize what a politicians stance and voting records are. He is libertarian, which means he believes for the most part in free trade and less involved government. Especially in foreign policy he is very non-interventionist. I like his ideas in these areas.

However, I don't like that he doesn't support abortion rights. Also, he is not as liberal on civil rights as I would like.

Do a search engine on Ron Paul or go to his website. YOu will learn alot about him.
Personally I like him. He was the only reasonable person in the last election in my opinion.
He is FOR fiscal responsibility. Against the war in Iraq. Pro state's rights.For Small government and Free trade.
His foreign policies are good too.
There are things I don't completely agree with him on. But tell me a politican that you COMPLETELY agree with.
On the whole...I think he is a good politican. I would (and have) vote for him.

I like Ron Paul on most things. He is for MUCH smaller government, get rid of the fed reserve, and about 90% of other areas. He is pro-life, America keeping its nose out of foreign affairs unless directly engaged. He believes in lower taxes (flat tax) and personal responsibility.
He is a doctor in Texas, still has clients that pay him in baked goods. I believe that this guy has very core principles and stands for them. When everybody else in Washington is getting earmarks, he puts his own in the bills then votes against them. He eats lunch alone in Washington because lobbyists don't even bother with him anymore. I like him!

Ron Paul is one of the last few truly liberty minded and constitutionaly conciencious people left in congress. In the straw poll conducted at CPAC this past weekend, he took the top position of republicans nominees for 2012's presidential election, that alone gives me a little hope. People are waking up it seems. You would do well to look this guy up. Paul is the EXACT kind of candidate we should be supporting and electing. I wish there were a lot more of him taking the steps to run.
