Ron Paul,The man America needs for President.

Ron Paul to me looks like the only candidate worth voting for.His work towards a limited constitutional goverment,low taxes,free markets,and return to sound monetary policies are unparalleled by anyone else. He's the only candidate who is truely for the people and the only politician who's principles can't be compromised.This upcoming election looks good for Ron Paul,will he make it?Hopefully,but other politicians i'm sure aren't looking forward to losing any power. So voice your opinion if you think Ron Paul is the right man for president, or who you think is and why.

Peace and vote wisely!)(

He's the right man for some of us.
But most people like deadly & expensive foreign entanglements, bigger & more intrusive government, empty platitudes, pandering, dishonesty & bail-outs for losers.
They'll favor one of the big two.

All kneejerk reactions based on personal experience:
limited constitutional goverment,
Sounds good on paper, but usually code for neutering the Judicial branch.

low taxes,
Also code, translates as "gut social safety nets."

free markets,
Again, appealing on its face, but ultimately unfeasible. Free trade is all well and good, but must be balanced by regulation for the good of everyone.

and return to sound monetary policies
Meaning what? Examples, please. :)

He's the only candidate who is truely for the people
Fanboy squee aside....

He's got some good ideas, but I'm far from convinced he's a man of ALL the people.

and the only politician who's principles can't be compromised.
That's not necessarily a good thing in a public servant.

So voice your opinion if you think Ron Paul is the right man for president, or who you think is and why.
Dunno. In 2008, I was swept up by Obama, and actually voted for a president (rather than against one) for the first time. I've been sorely disappointed, though.

In a perfect world, former PDX Mayor Tom Potter would run and stand a chance in hell, but that ain't happening. :(

There's no one else who even stirs hope in me, much less lives up to it.

By free market I pressume you mean unregulated markets. No doubt he's being well funded by the banks
Bad presumption.
Have evidence he's well funded by banks?

I use "limited constitutional government" as a code word for limited constitutional government.
Who can guess what "low taxes" is a code word for?

Oh, I forgot to ask actual Libertarians to correct any blatant misunderstandings. Differences of opinion are one thing, misinformation quite another.

Sorry, missed this.

Perhaps I should have phrased differently, but this doesn't address my points at all.

Banks, multinationals etc...

No I don't because I have don't have access to details information about who is funding his campaign but it pretty naive to believe that someone with his views isn't on the payroll of those who would benefit from a poorely regulated free market with low (Corporate) taxes.

No doubt when he retires he'll follow the time honoured tradition of getting a seat on the boards of the various companies whose backs he scratched while in power so that he make use of his government connections to lobby for/against that which most benefits the corporations.

Gee, I wonder why!

He's a POLITICIAN for crying out loud! :facepalm:

This upcoming election looks good for Ron Paul,will he make it?
About as far as H. Ross Perot did in 1992.

Wrongo pongo! "Low taxes" is a code word for low taxes.
There is sometimes confusion when scurrilous wags concoct a "parade of horribles" consequence scenario & claim that this is the real motive.
Of course, learned folk such as we are won't fall for such informal logical fallacies.

No I don't because I have don't have access to details information about who is funding his campaign but it pretty naive to believe that someone with his views isn't on the payroll of those who would benefit from a poorely regulated free market with low (Corporate) taxes.
Uh huh....can't argue with that source.
Anyway, I don't worry about funding sources. I care about what I believe the candidate will do in office.
If funding source mattered, I wouldn't vote for anyone supported by trial lawyers, unions, or radical anti-bacon organizations.

No doubt when he retires he'll follow the time honoured tradition of getting a seat on the boards of the various companies whose backs he scratched while in power so that he make use of his government connections to lobby for/against that which most benefits the corporations.
I'd still pick R Paul over his competition.
How's that Obama flavored "Hope & Change" work'n for ya?
Maybe you prefer Palin?

Low taxes require reduced spending. What do you want to sacrifice?

Then you care about funding sources, since they tend to reveal a candidate's true loyalties.

Not so well. Relevance?

That's just a scare tactic. :p
