    I think saying that all other GOP candidates are big government is a bit of a stretch.

    I doubt that Fred Thompson, or any other GOP candidate believes aside from Paul:
    All Federal gun control should be repealed.
    Abortion should be left to the states.
    Removing the Federal government from marriage
    Leaving Iraq
    Leave NATO
    Leave the UN
    Cut taxes
    Cut the military budget by 50%
    Abolish entitlement programs
    etc

    Ron Paul never met a war he liked. Sometimes peace isn't the answer.

    We need a bigger military, not a smaller one. We need to recover from Clinton's "peace dividend" reductions.

    Ron Paul's conclusion that we were attacked because of our "interventionist" policy is absolute lunacy. To believe that is the cause one would have to be completely ignorant of Islamic history going back over a thousand years. Giuliani did a great job illustrating the flaws in Paul's reasoning in last Saturday's debate. The jihadis have attacked nations that don't have any bases in the Arab world.

    Out of the laundry list of things Paul says he will do, he only has control over declaring defeat in Iraq. Every other one of those points is outside the purview of the Executive branch. Most of what he says he wants to do is under the control of Congress, where Paul was completely ineffective as a participant.

    Although I can agree with some of Dr. Paul's positions, After seeing and reading some of His comments over the past couple of weeks, I am fully convinced that if He was not a member of the .gov. He would either be on an extended stay at the rubber room hotel wearing one of those long sleave dinner jackets. Or, standing on a street corner somewhere, holding a sign stateing, the end is near.

    As far as the rest of them go, Unless Teddy Ronald Roosevelt Regan jumps in, I find it very hard to get excited over a 10 second soundbite proclaiming that They are for the 2A. Without anything in their past to really back it up. They go on photo op's wth shotguns, big deal. Untill I see one of them at one of our shoots with an AR in hand, I am not buying it.

    He's only in the GOP for votes, he ran for President as a Libertarian in the 90's.

    Ron Paul ran as a Libertarian in the 1988 election. He got less than 1% of the vote.

    Yup, who would want some nutcase, that actually believes we still have a viable constitution, and has the voting record to prove it, as POTUS. Lock that crazy person up in a rubber room.

    Our government has been, and will continue to, shred the constitution, and use it for T-paper. The sheeple must continue with this course of action. Vote accordingly.

    DO NOT VOTE FOR RON PAUL

    Ron Paul is a staunch Constitutionalist, so I haven't a clue why people (who often claim they support the Constitution) think he is a nut case.
    Unless you guys believe that x should be preserved in the Constitution, buy y and z aren't really necessary anymore. Which is of course, the logic of those we despise so much, being the poli-chickens of the left side of the aisle.

    Yep, it's more what's lacking with the good Doctor that I just can't get past, If, He was a little closer to a few of My ideals, I'd vote for Him.
