Ron Paul is the most impressive presidential candidate I've ever seen.

[mbs145]

Ron Paul and Gary Johnson are the only 2012 candidates who respect the Constitution.

Ron Paul is to the left of Obama in his views about gay marriage; many progressives just don't want to acknowledge this because he has an (R) after his name.

@husbandman2 "Alcohol use kills over 75,000 people a year. Deregulate other drugs and this number will climb." Statistics indicate the opposite is true - as recreational drug use rises, alcohol use declines. Go on, look it up.

"Personal habits affect very one, most of all children." Were you paying attention? He mentioned that these things would still be kept out of the hands of children, since they aren't at the age of physical maturity. They'd be treated like alcohol is now.

@husbandman2 Regulation of drugs is one of the reasons we are having this stupid war on drugs that's going absolutely nowhere. People who are addicts are STILL getting their fixes and law enforcement agencies are spending BILLIONS of dollars a year finding dealers, intercepting traffickers, etc.You can't protect people from themselves. It sucks that people are addicts to drugs and alcohol but that's the reality of the situation.

@husbandman2 it is true but its a sad truth that u cant protect people from themselves its a complicated issue but i believe deregulation is much better than regulation not only do u remove the organised crime aspect but u cant treated users and victims not criminals

@MS77xXxJJboy actually the most important reason to vote for ron paul is Austrian economics, check out peter schiff was right on youtube, he was paul's economic adviser in 208

@husbandman2 Oh yes dear lord make it a law so nobody will do it. That seems to work huh? What a stupid ass position to take. By making drugs legal the only thing that will climb is the number of inner city families that aren't torn apart because of terrible laws.

[MS77xXxJJboy]

I agree on most of his ideas  and he's the smartest candidates out of all I THINK

[husbandman2]

This guy is a loony. While I agree that personal liberty is important, to say that all personal habits should not be controlled by the government is crazy. Personal habits affect very one, most of all children. Alcohol use kills over 75,000 people a year. Deregulate other drugs and this number will climb. He says under our constitution we cannot have these laws, but is that so? Read more here, thinking-clearly.blogspot.com/­2011/12/examining-ron-paul.htm­l

@afroebob ever heard of peter schiff, he was ron paul's economic adviser in 2008 when he ran last time, look up peter schiff was right, its got 2 million views, you will love paul more!

[afroebob]

I've started reading up on Ron Paul and (for the most part, not 100% but at least 90-95) I completely agree. I think he would be a good president, but I also don't think he's going to win because a lot of people are... well lets say less smart.
