I don't know why the U.S. has to have politicians to run for presidency. I say they should try at least once elect a normal person that will whip up polls for the American people to deside on how to run a country. All of the politicians that run for office shoots off bull**** promises just to gain points and turn their backs on many things when they in office.

Ron Paul never had a chance. Did you look at the percentages he rated? Never any more than 3 or 4 percent.

I will say one thing though .... those who support him are really ardent and he did raise a lot of money.

No he is more on state laws then National which I think is a good idea. Let the states decide if they want capital punishment, abortion, etc. Tax cuts for regular people. (he wants to remove the capital gain tax from anyone that makes less than 200k) He is hard on illegal immigration, which I like. He wants the government to quit taking money out of Social Security to put in their budget. He even wants to let people decide if they want to put in social security (if you don't put in you don't get.. I would rather save for my own retirement)


Go Dr. Ron.smokin

Referring to the above, wherein it was stated that Ron Paul is
more on state laws, actually, he is a Constitutionalist, but a number of Paul's positions on civil liberties are based on states' rights.

aaronlyric ...... Thanks for the spelling lesson, but you misread my post. I did not use the word constituionalism.

The word I used was constitutionalist, which is a term referring to someone who advocates strict adherence to the U.S. Constitution. I used the word to describe Ron Paul.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A series of newsletters in the name of GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul contain several racist remarks -- including one that says order was restored to Los Angeles after the 1992 riots when blacks went "to pick up their welfare checks."


This is a copy of one of the "Ron Paul Political Report" newsletters, which has stirred controversy.

CNN recently obtained the newsletters -- written in the 1990s and one from the late 1980s -- after a report was published about their existence in The New Republic.

None of the newsletters CNN found says who wrote them, but each was published under Paul's name between his stints as a U.S. congressman from Texas.

END QUOTE

Then he says he did not write them, read them, or even know about them, but they all went out under his name.

It seems to me the people who Ron Paul appeals to are typically very naive about politics and are just tired of the same old R vs. D arguing.

Making Social Security optional is the dumbest idea in politics today. It would destroy the whole system. Social Security is probably the best domestic policy that has ever been achieved in this country.

Before Social Security, people just worked themselves to death, usually at a young age. They had to depend on family to take care of them if they could not work and quality of life basically sucked.

Look at any 3rd world country today, and you can get a good idea what American life was like before SS.

It really doesn't matter, because nothing is ever going to happen to it. Bush thought he was going to privatize it, and he found out real fast, it was DOA. That's when his decline started.

States right's?? That's what the Southern states said about slavery? You think any state should just be able to do whatever the population in it decides? Funny how when state's do something the repubs don't like, they are all for the power of the Fed. government. Medical Marijuana is one example.

The Constitution gives Congress the right to regulate all interstate commerce and make all laws necessary and proper. So anything that Constitution does not specifically give states the right to do, Congress, if it chooses to, and if the President signs it, can supercede any action by a particular state.

And of course, the Constitution protects some rights, even without any law, i.e. the right to privacy in one's person or effects, like what a woman chooses to do with her reproductive life.
