The reason why I support Ron Paul is because he is right on terrorism and spending. He also has impeccable ethics like you've already mentioned. The lobbyists don't even want to deal with him because they know he can't be bought. The other Republican candidates would basically be George W. Bush Part 2. They would all continue the ridiculous foreign policy we currently have and would do nothing to stop the spending. |
Which is another reason I like him, and something I feel others forget. For all his talk, the Presidency has only so much power. And under Paul, he would roll back some of the ridiculous executive privelages that have come about over the Bush presidency. Ultimately though, Congress will keep him in check, and he in turn will be the one that delegates our foreign policy so we won't be doing anything Dubya batshit insance.
