    right but it really a fundamental difference between you guys. you believe the government murders its own citizens by the thousands and he doesnt. you guys are wildly opposed in philosophy.

    its like if i say i like hitler except we dont agree about the jews.

    I wonder what Paul thinks about all these tsars that we have. In both republican and democratic admins there has been drug tsars this tsar that tsar. All are goverments inside the goverment. Secretarys in the cabinet seem to have been misplaced by tsars that have very little congressional oversite. I don't like it and I bet Paul doesn't either.

    Ron Paul is terrible. He is the worst kind of politician. He is either stupid or just a bold faced liar, and I'm not sure which.

    I also wonder why so many of his supporters are truthers, Freed Men, and other assorted kooks. I don't think I've met one sane person that would vote for the guy.

    Which topics has he lied about? Which positions do you find stupid?

    He has been re-elected to Congress multiple....do you think all of those people are insane or maybe they are just more conservative than you?

    Who would you rather have as President or are you happy with Obama?

    The executive branch has way too much power now. I saw that Obama has come out and said he will not enforce the DOMA. How can he get away with that? That is specifically his job to enforce the laws. Getting love from Miss Lewinsky may not have been a clear case of an impreachable offense but I can't see how picking and choosing which law to enforce according to one's own personal conscience is not an impeachable offense.

    Like Jon Stewart said. Most Americans don't want an honest person is office.

    I guess he isn't a liar. The way he frames his positions is dishonest. I really take exception when he says he has never voted for a spending increase, but I guess you are right. It isn't a lie it is a well crafted technically true statement that ignores most of the relevant facts. It bugs me that he will earmark money into a bill and then vote against the bill.\

    It really bugs me that he claims to be a free market guy, but earmarks money to advertise for domestic shrimp.

    The fact that he earmarks anything is pretty appalling given what he says about debt and spending, and his arguement that the money is already budgeted is hogwash. This year's spending is the basis for next year's budget. So when he earmarks a dollar it is sure to increase next year's budget. If he thinks otherwise he is a fool. If he truly does not like letting the excess funds be turned over to the administration he could be earmarking that money to pay down the debt or be returned to the treasury.

    I guess that is the real lie of Ron Paul. He claims to be different, but he is just like the others. Don't beleive me? Want to buy some beach front property from me in Arizona? Really nice.

    Audit the Fed
    Pretty much all his foreign policy
    Letters of marquee to fight piracy and terrorism
    Return to the gold standard


    Well they do live in Texas... but I was talking in terms of a Presidential vote.

    I don't know. Everyone seems pretty terrible to me. Paul is just awful, and I can tell by the types of jacklegs that support him. Any guy that truthers love I am very likely to loathe.

    That wouldn't be Paul anyway. For someone who likes to call others sheep you have taken this guy's crap hook line and sinker.
