His ideas almost make him worthy of being the next messiah, but as long as people are running around with their funny money, thinking it's real, thinking no one will ever take their stuff away, etc. no one will care of course.
Just keep your head down, forget about next generations, the distant future, etc. and you can safely ignore his message with impunity. Think of things on a broader scale, though, and those who ignore the message will be in for some unpleasant surprises down the road.

I'm voting for him. Just tired of the same old crap. I could care less if it's a pyrrhic vote at the primary. At least I've finally found a candidate that believes in what the United States is supposed to be instead of their own skin. Every other candidate is bought and paid for. The average US citizen is disenfranchized without them even knowing, and most likely even caring. PACs, special interests, corporations...they buy both sides of the game. Doesn't matter who wins. They'll just pick their divisive issues, do a song and dance to get your vote, and once in power its business as usual.
Hell, the fact that he's being black balled by biased media of both stripes should tell you what you need to know.

Here is the article in question.

I think it is rash to say that Paul is the same as all the rest. I don't know of any other candidates that believe and promote; a non interventionist foreign policy, doing away with the IRS, returning the economy to a real money state...and many other issues of note. I would also mention that no other representative has a voting record like Dr. Paul, research it for yourself.
I will say the same thing I've said to others that I know. Check him out. If you don't like him fine. If you do please tell others to check him out because he is being blackballed by major media and his own party. The net, word of mouth, and citizen donations is the only way he's going to get a fair shot.

It's true..he is pro-life, but he would never have the federal government outlaw abortion. The most he would do is try and get Roe V Wade overturned and leave it up to the states. I'm pro-choice and this is a rare topic that I disagree with Paul on, but overall he is just such a great candidate it doesn't matter to me enought to keep mefrom voting for him....good luck finding any candidate who is going to agree with you on every issue.
He is pro-choice at his talk in iowa at the start he talked about the hypocracy that when a woman with a fetus is murdered it is double homicide but abortion is okay. That the minute the baby pops out of the womb it is murder but it is okay when its a fetus inside you. Also he has said before that roe vs. wade ruined it for everyone.
At the same time he can't be hypocritical himself and say the federal government can outlaw abortion but at the same time getting rid of all the federal government controls/programs he wants to rid of.
This is obviously a state issue, if somebody doesn't like it they can hop states. Bottom line the reality is if you flat out ban abortion you will have underground clinics performing very unhealthy/unsanitary abortions or people just doing them on their own, and also see an increase in murders after the baby is born. I really don't care what your stance is on this issue but that's just the reality of the situation people will still find a way to have abortions even if the federal government says they can't.
HAH!!! Anyone who REALLY cares about future generations would be crazy to vote for this guy. He would dismantle every environmental control, eliminate the all workplace protections, and open up all national sanctuaries and preserves to corporate development. In short, he'd make Bush and Cheney look like Rachel Carson. His economic policies would create a permanent underclass so large that it would certainly threaten the stability of the country.
Besides that, he's a complete hypocrite. If he really believes that abortion is the taking of the life, why would he allow some states to keep it legal? Would he allow states to legalize murder? Why does he oppose gays in the military?? Aren't libertarians supposed to allow people to practice their sexual preference freely? Why did he say during the last debate that he thought Scooter Libby belonged in jail, not because of any crime he committed, but because Libby was one of the engineers of the Iraq war.
Paul may be right about certain things (getting us out of Iraq, ending the drug war, and overturning the internet gambling ban), but the negatives FAR outweigh the positives.
