Because he ran (and won) as a Libertarian early in his career people seem to think he's of the Austrian School of economics. He's actually not in favor of total deregulation, it's not a black and white issue by any means. A lot of regulation leads to oligarchies, for example.
He favors federal regulation if not nationalization of the Federal Reserve - that's pretty far from a total deregulation nut.
Ron Paul is probably the most "constitutional" congressman in the history of politics. I don't see what basic birth rights he would want to be taken away. He's the only politician I'd trust not to take away freedoms and liberties. What's it going to take for people to learn the two political parties are a complete farse? They work hand in hand to screw us over in every possible way. If people haven't figured that out by now I really dread imagining what it will take.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, of course. I just really hate it when people parrot the disinformation rather than taking the time to research. If our country actually had a citizenship which valued its freedom enough to study not only would the corruption be minimal but men like Ron Paul would be our chosen civil servants.
No matter who wins the coming election, we're all in for a rape fest. Maybe then a few more people will learn what US politics are really all about.
But being completely constitutional isn't a great thing, in the Constitution natives were considered savages and African Americans were basically property. We shouldn't rely on the bourgesie to liberate us from all of this, we should rely on ourselves.
I do not support McCain or Obama but Obama is the lesser of two evils. Democrats/Republicans are both parties full of morons.
