Ron Paul...
I'm not "behind" any one cantidate yet, but Ron Paul seems to be the most promising as far as who I line up with the most (and this is rare, as I can not ever remember having supported a Republican before).
Issues
I'm not with him on everything, but I'm with him on quite a bit, which is more than I can say for most other cantidates like McCain, Romney, Clinton, Edwards, etc. |

Ron Paul is my pick as well. Aside from the fact he hates Israel and being a cut and run from Iraq type, I agree with most of his stances.
Don't get me wrong, I do not believe that Iraq is going great or anything like that...but we broke it so we MUST fix it before we even THINK of leaving.

Is he saying he wants to withdraw from the UN and the WTO? That's pretty dramatic.

Yes, he does get pretty dramatic at times. Even if he says some things like that, he's still alot better than ******* or Osama Obama. |

No. Don't do that. Ever. HE IS NOT OSAMA, HE'S BARRACK OBAMA.

Sir, I do not appreciate being told what to do. His name rhymes with Osama, it is meant as an insult. I actually do have some respect for the man, he's turned his life around from being a cocaine sniffer into a senator.
I myself have in the past been involved in crime and drug use(though it was marijuana, not cocaine), so anyone who rises above their addiction gets a few brownie points from me. However, he is a socialist and I will never vote for a socialist. EVER. |

Ron Paul may be a bit dramatic as far as the UN, but his stances on Iraq, Israel, Immigration, Taxes, returns to State-Central Government...he seems like the best.
Please start another thread WRT Obama being a socialist, guys.

Forgive me, sir. I wasn't trying to intentionally throw your thread off topic. |

I know it's meant as an insult, sir, I am not a complete dolt. Just because you believe he's a socialist doesn't mean you have to go mudslinging at him by grouping him with a terrorist.
