Beware of those who call him a traitor and isolationist, its all propaganda by corporate giants and the political elite to keep the system running "as is". If you are uppermiddleclass, middleclass, or poor, and want positive change vote Ron Paul in 2008. Dont be fooled!!
Who is he? Do you mean Don Paul? He is a closet liberal. Just vote for Hillary. Ron Paul is toast, He’s a tratior,his values and goals are against everything the Republican party stand for? What the FU*K? Are the people above who left these stupid remarks in their answers the real problem with our country? Thanks Twin MaMa and ThomasS, but Ryan said my question was one of the best he has seen so how could I not vote for him? This coming election will decide which way this nation will go, they say this every election but the "Time Is Coming"-Testament(great song)- where if we elect the same old same old, we will continue with larger government control, lower wages, higher taxes, higher crime, a continuing gap between the rich and poor, loss of most if not all civil liberties, an open border policy that will destroy our sovernty and American workforce, no chance in hell of the average person/family to live the American dream. Is this what you want? NO! Vote Ron Paul in 2008. Think-Vote!
If the same old same old gets in, this is what will happen. Nothing. Nothing will change except new laws that will further destroy our constitution and everything it stands for. We are at the halfway point of our country being completly sold out to the highest bidders, the top 1% and their foreign counterparts have a plan and your not in it! We are at the point if nothing is done now there will be no hope for it at a later time. Hillary, Obama, Mr. New Mexico? Please. Maybe Dennis. Romney, Rudy, Fred Thompson? Are you kidding me, a former lobbyist for the big corporations? Thompson is just a wolf in sheeps clothing, he is a complete fraud and his only purpose is to make money for himself and his partners, sound familar? We as Americans have been betrayed by the Bush administration and most of Congress, it’s time to fight back with the vote, violence is the last option and I hope it does not come to that but as for me I have had enough and will not tolerate anymore bullsh*t! I promise.
He’s a good person and even though I don’t agree with all his policies, I would vote for him before anyone else currently running. He’s not a closet liberal, he’s a libertarian that needed the backing of a strong party, hence the reason why he’s a registered republican.
Finally! Awesome question making some very good points! One of the very few I’ve seen on Yahoo Answers! Thank you very much!
