@painet1776 Well twas was not praise for any of them actually, to me Ron is good but John Huntsman has also several LESS crazy things as others.

Its not about that these 3 are "Good", its that they are less mad on avarage. Also Ron Paul seems to be extreme on government not being involved.

@Anuojat John Huntsman supports NDAA and Patriot Act. Why do people keep putting him in the same sentence as Ron Paul?

John Huntsman, Ron Paul and Barack Obama. Worms in apples you eat.

The rest: Cancer in your system.

@anaihilator All ideologies are "extreme" in the beginning. Christianity, democracy, etc. That makes your last statement false. Even if it did not, it would still require that you have an understanding of all ideologies present and future, even those we have not thought of yet, for it to even possibly be true.

That being said, Ron Paul scares the hell out of me too. He sounds like the only sane person in politics on some topics, and the craziest, most destructive on others.

[poopynonsense]

@anaihilator Extreme like instigating total war in the middle east? Extreme like chronic secrecy and misinformation? Extreme like an unwavering servitude to the elite class and corporate interests?

I'm not saying Paul's our hero, but you should keep in mind that centrist Washington is EXTREME. And out of hand.

@manonthemount dont confuse the racist with a little thing like logic. Or how can you can you reconcile libertarian freedom from govt with banning abortion, unless you make the leap to say the fetus' rights outweight the mother's rights which invariably leads to all sorts of other right usurpations. nah, dont do that.

[anaihilator]

Garden variety corruption I can handle, but god save me from an extreme idealogue. Its for that reason that Id seriously move to canada if Paul somehow got elected. No extreme ideology is ever viable in the real world. None.

@DentistD1G Ron Paul surely is against abortion, however, it seems it is a question he wants to leave on state level.
