I like Ron Paul. A lot.

My first reaction to his Mexican border policy was: Whoah! But after giving it some thought... why are they coming here? Is it the cheap hard work? Not really and even if that's it it's nowhere near as much of a drain on our economy as the free medical care and social programs. That's why they come here ultimately. Cut off the social handouts for anyone/everyone and end the war on drugs and the prices of these items plummets making it not worth all the effort, money and lives to traffic. Suddenly the giant fence to the moon on the southern border isn't as necessary. Some of the things RP says seem a bit extreme compared to what we're all used to but if you really think about them with an open mind it seems the ideas that stand out the most to me at first become the ideas I like the most after I think about them more.

I realize this is all more than a single term could accomplish but if we can get things headed in the right direction it's what this country needs. I don't see anyone else willing to do what's right for this country first and foremost.

Our country needs change if it's going to survive. I'm talking about real change here and not political 'change'.
