Anyone here like Ron Paul?

[mindstalk]

A review of bills he's sponsored.

Bills to declare zygotes to be people, to ban flag burning, to remove abortion from the jurisdiction of inferior Federal courts, to defend the Electoral College, to repeal the "Motor Voter" act, to put us on a gold standard and ban fractional reserve banking. And I'm just listing things which might give an actual libertarian pause, never mind the other bills liberals/progressives would be horrified by.

[Update: the flag-burning amendments were apparently an attempt to get the Republicans to face up to the Constitution, or something, with Paul himself opposing banning flag-burning. So that's one libertarian point restored.]

I like Ron Paul

[(Anonymous)]

I like Ron Paul because:

1) He's for peace.
2) He wants to defend the bill of rights
3) He will ensure a low tax environment
4) He will end the war on drugs
5) He will secure the border
6) He has never voted for a unbalanced budget.
7) He doesn't take money from lobbyists
8) His policies would make Washington more accountable to constitutional rule.

Its time to think of the good of the country beyond our own narrow parocial interests.

1) He's for peace.

What makes you think that pulling our forces out of Iraq will result in "peace," even for us (let alone for Iraq)?
