Ron Paul is not a Republican, he is a Libertarian.

Actually, Ron Paul is pro-life, a devout Christian, voted against all bailouts, and wants to massively cut all of the liberal social programs. The reason you all shoot him down is two fold:

1. He thinks states should handle all social issues, exactly as James Madison intended and as is clarified in the 10th amendment. Sorry to tell you, but this means that States get to decide things like gay marriage, marijuana, and health care.

2. He thinks that the President needs Congressional approval to attack any country, as required in the Constitution.

Just how angry were you when the UN wanted to come and monitor elections? Imagine if China sent a whole army to ensure a "fair" election? How would you feel? Do you think the other countries like us being on their soil?

Just because he believes that states get to decide their own fate makes him a Libertarian? I think not. I think that he is a Constitutional Conservative, whereas most of the people here are conservatives who believe that in order to "save our country", we need to overlook a few key issues in our Constitution.

You can't have it both ways. You are either for the Constitution or against it. States have the right to do stupid things, or great things. The feds need to stay out it it. It's a Constitution thing.

So they way I see it, I am a conservative, Ron Paul is a conservative, and you are a conservative. The difference is whether or not you think it is necessary to force people in liberal states to believe the same thing you do.

I think that is a losing battle and why people vote against Republicans. They think Republicans are trying to control what they do in the bedroom.

The big deal here, though, is that the greatest threat to our existence as a nation is our currency. It's not Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Iran... and you won't be able to afford any of that anyway once the currency is gone.

Losing focus of the most important issue has already doomed this country. It's not a big deal... when there is no money for anything then the system will correct itself. But it's going to hurt like heck.
