I’m for Ron Paul on this one. He’s the only one that called this financial mess before it hit and everybody called him a Kook. He spoke out against the Iraq war and I thought he was a kook, then I got deployed and got “educated” as to how unnecessary it was. He spoke out against the Patriot Act and I thought he was a sympathizer with the enemy, but then I started learning just how unconstitutional it is and am now completely in favor of revamping the whole thing to fall in line with what Ben Franklin said about not trading liberty for security. Now I’ve come to realize that he’s our last hope for restoring America to what the founders envisioned.

On domestic issues, Ron Paul has been right more than any other office holder I know of.

Where I have to diverge from Paul is his “single template” approach to every issue in foreign policy. It just can’t work.

I didn't feel the earthquake, but I have to agree with you.

I'm sure we agree on most issues. In regards to Ron Paul, though, I think he should be a significant influence in the Republican party. I'm not so sure he is presidential material like many say, however.

Well, if he isn't, find me somebody as small-government and constitutionalist as he.
