Name one person in the GOP field that has your interests at heart. You can't!
He is the only political incumbent that wants to give you liberty and freedom.
Go ahead and support the other brainless polititards. They just want you as slaves and to support their outrageous lifestyles.
Ron Paul represents freedom. True freedom. Not the MSM freedom your being fed. People should be free to be themselves without gov't rule.

I think they are forcing us to take drugs.
The government has forced children to take Ritalin and other psych drugs, they force psych patients to take psych drugs, and manhunts have been mounted and people have been imprisoned for refusing chemotherapy for their children. Even though it's common knowledge psych drugs don 't work and are all highly toxic, and that chemo doesn't do a thing for cancer. If you have cancer, and take chemo and survive, that means your body fought off the cancer AND survived the chemo.

Ron Paul has been constantly wrong on most stuff relating to the economy. His ideas of what he wants to do to the country will destroy it.
Ron Paul says he wants a smaller government. I suppose he doesnt realize what his actions will do to the country. He says he wants to get rid of many government agencies including the DOE, DHS, IRS, FEMA, DHHS, and the federal reserve.. What is he thinking? These are horrible ideas. The DOE oversees the US energy, inspections, research ect. The DHS keeps us safe. FEMA responds to disasters. The federal reserve is a very important body of the government. Doesnt he realize that by abolishing this he will destroy the country?
The federal reserve is what keeps the US government going. We need a strong independent federal reserve. Studies have shown that the more independent that are the lower the inflation rate is. He keeps calling the Fed wrong or that Bernanke doesnt know what hes doing but thats just plain wrong. He also wants to bring back the gold standard but thats another failure too.
He voted against the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Does he want another Enron scandal ?
He wants to get rid of the income tax and fun the government through tariffs. Thats insane. Tariffs reduce trade and there will not be enough money to fun the government. His idea of a small government does not work in the twenty-first century, maybe in in the 1800's.
He wants to have a national sales tax. There wont be enough money raised to support the government. Maybe if we abolish government to the point that the is almost no it might work, but thats not realistic. Sales taxes are regressive taxes that hurt the middle and lower class and favor the upper class. maybe he doent know that or he is in someones pocket?
He was also against TRAP. TARP was instrumental in saving the US economy and has worked fantastically. Since then the US has made a profit off it and kept the economy together.
QE1 and QE2 have also worked to stimulate the economy. Ben Bernanke can also prove how it has worked and why we needed it. There is proof that it has worked.
It appears that Ron Paul is continually wrong about the economics of the country. Now that the debate has just passed it seems that the Ron Paul fascination is in full swing once again.

Wow, where do we start here? You rattled off an alphabet soup of agencies, all of them ineffective and unnecessary. Has DOE prevented even one energy related disaster? Have they developed any actual renewable energy technologies? Uh, no and no. Did any of the prior DHS agencies prevent 9/11? And if you waited for FEMA to save from New Orleans, you're pretty much dead right now.
Accept the truth, you, me, we are all on our own. It is our local support networks and communities that hopefully have the capability to provide us with help when it is needed, not some acronym from Washington DC.
TARP did not save anyone from catastrophe except for the large money center banks that had behaved irresponsibly and deserved to be reorganized. The "real economy" still had to endure a lengthy recession (depression) that continues to this day. Don't confuse TARP for a solution, it was a band-aid for a wound that is still festering.
And yes, if the Federal government maintained itself at a historically appropriate size it could be funded through a system of tariffs and consumption taxes. Yeah, I know consumption taxes capture revenue from those who have come to believe themselves exempt from financially supporting our government, but really, isn't it morally insulting to assume that lower income and middle income citizens are incapable of supporting our civil infrastructure? But capturing revenue from lower income people is not the reason that Rep Paul embraces these alternative methods of taxation, it's because under a tariff and consumption tax based system, citizens choose when and how they are taxed (you don't have to but the thing), you'll notice that individual choice is a large tenant of libertarian philosophy.
Of course then we have the Fed, which is actually the fountain of inflation.

The erosion of our freedoms has happened slowly over time, one person is not going to sigle handedly reverse all the damage. Most Ron Paul supporters know this.... But if we don't start repairing some of the damage fast, this ship might just sink.
