This thread is long and full of lots of things that I really don't feel like reading because they have already been addressed a million other places on the internet, like his position on abortion.
However, I would like to point out just a few of my own beliefs. I think Ron Paul is great, not because he is perfect, but because he is calling for some serious reform in an honest manner. I am 23 [you can vote at 18 in America] and I have never voted. This will be the first time I vote because I actually care about a candidate. Ron Paul is not perfect on all matters and if he carried out everything he believes in, in one 4 year term things may not be great. But the truth is this: He can't carry out everything in 4 years. This is what makes the Constitution GREAT! He won't be president for 20 years and turn the country on it's head. He can, however, make some headway to get out dollar based more in reality and not on whatever the Fed wants and he can get the national government more out of our lives.
Stof, especially I would like to hear which views you see as "crazy" because I respect your intelligence and I have thought thoroughly about Paul's message. This isn't the call for the perfect candidate people. This is the call for someone who actually believes in what he says and wants more power to the people. Can any other candidate come close to saying that??
