Nah — I’m afraid RP doesn’t do it for me. Gold coins and free jets aside, I just think he’s way too out there for me. And I’m still scratching my head to figure out how he can run as a republican and not even be close to the platform on most issues. *shrugs*

Name me one besides Ron Paul running for POTUS that is actually saying government is too big and too intrusive on our freedoms and rights. Name one who besides Ron Paul says he will roll back the increase in government programs since Reagan left office. By that I mean shut down such useless departments as Education and leave it to the states, Department of Homeland Insecurity and leave it to the various departments professionals, and other created make jobs for political friends federal programs that have been created.

Ron Paul is abotu as conservative as one can find in Congress. He is 100% pro constitution. Everything he votes for (or against) has to pass his constitutional litmus test. 97% of the 'republicans' in DC are drunk on power and could not give a rats arse about the constitution.
Ron Paul may not be perfect on ever issue. Ed Koch (former NYC mayer) once said something like, 'take 10 issues.. if you agree with me 100% on everything, you are insane and have no mind of your own.. however, if you agree with me on 7/10 issues, I would ask you to consider voting for me'...it was something along those lines.
Ron Paul might not be perfect. However, Paul, Tancredo, and Hunter and the best men for the job. Sadly, neither of the 3 will get it.
