Ron Paul
..not much to be said here.
only (offcourse in capslock): WRONG PARTY
even if there are only to parties: FUCKING WRONG PARTY!
FUCKING FUCKING WRONG PARTY!
when it comes to competence, i don't mid if its Ron Paul or Barack Obama. i consider them equal.
As european fellow, i lobby for a liberal, smart, democratic and antiauthoritarian leader. Ron Paul fits that as good as Barack Obama. So i don't Mind, as long as it is not ppl like romney, santorum, gingrich or any of those rightwing creeps.
Ron Paul is OK, i guess thats a viewpoint many ppl share. He is old, wise and a thinker. not the guy for crazy actions, not corrupt. will not lead US into another war; stuff like that. its OK.
its OK like obama is OK. but nothing more.
.. and im still drunk, excuse me. good day. +
[edit] reading wikipedia just opened to me that his son is a tea-party supporter..
dont get me wrong, but its -crazy- stuff like that, that makes me think ron paul should not be president. teaparty. nothing to be said here. watch a video of some mobilsation and listen to what the people say. best add against them, isnt it?
i don't get all that conservative stuff in the US at all?! why the fuck does anybody want to preserve worths, the WASPs and christians and conservatives and whatever stand for? am i totally wrong and unpopular in the US if i claim a government should be 100% secularized?! ..
..
i don't think so.
Okay, let me set the record straight on a few things here. Ron Paul is only running as a Republican because if he had run as a Libertarian (which he has done in the past) then he would have no shot at accomplishing anything. However, Paul's platform is more in line with the Republican party of years past, rather than the bullshit neocons that are running the show now.
Now, about the Tea Party bit. What the media portrays as the "Tea Party" is
NOT what the Tea Party was meant to be. Ron Paul actually started the Tea Party movement when he was running in 2008. Originally, the movement had nothing to do with social conservatism. It was a movement to lower taxes and reduce government spending, but was later adopted by many extremist right wing Christians. But I digress. The Tea Party, although in its current state is ridiculous, has a just cause.
And yes, I agree with you on a secularized government, as does Ron Paul. He is a strict Constitutionalist, and that includes separation of church and state.
