Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kantor]

I used to like Ron Paul, but the more I learn about him, the more I think he's completely insane.

• He wants to leave NATO (leaving Western Europe to be destroyed)
• He wants to remove troops from every other country in the world
• He wants to abolish the Federal Reserve. Just what the fuck.
• He also wants to abolish income tax. We all do, but that would pretty much cause economic collapse. The government can spend pretty much nothing if it doesn't collect income tax.
• He is ridiculously in favour of massive state power. Sure, he likes the idea of liberty, but if states feel otherwise, it's their choice
• He voted against civil rights. Against civil rights. And he said he would do the same today.
• And to top it off, he wants to get rid of the Department of Education and leave millions of poorer Americans without schooling (I can only assume)
• Basically, he has this veneration of the Founding Fathers akin to worship. He sees the Constitution as his Bible, and if anything is even hinted at as being undesirable by the constitution, he will not hear a word about it.

For now, my cross-Atlantic support (if that counts for anything) goes to Gary Johnson as a less sociopathic, more sensible version of Ron Paul. I wouldn't mind Obama being re-elected (sure as hell better than Ron Paul, Mitt Romney or Sarah Palin being President), but I would like somebody who will take a stance on debt reduction. Britain is already heading for collapse, and I don't want the USA to do the same.
