Well because he is a certifiable nut job.... how about that for a reason? Look, I do admire a lot of what Paul has had to say over the years, and he has made some brilliant points about our spending and the size and scope of government, but he just goes completely off the deep end with other libertarian views he has, and it scares the living fuck out of most normal conservatives. We can't just suspend drug laws and let people do as they please! We'd have a problem bigger than we could handle in a matter of months, and we could never put the genie back in the bottle. We can't just pull all our foreign bases out of foreign countries and bring home all our troops, the world would collapse in chaos in a few months, and it would end up costing millions of lives to repair the damage done by such stupidity. Oh now, it's EMOTIVE... and it appeals to pinheads who can't THINK past the head of their dicks, but it's just not reasonable or rational, and it would result in catastrophic consequences, which the libertarian idiots just don't seem to comprehend.
Looks like you're thinking the way you're told to think. From time to time I listen to some conservative radio talk show hosts, and they say exactly what they want you to say, and you are saying.
I bet Ron Paul has written more books than all these talk show hosts combined.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but he has more years of college than anyone he's running against, or has ever ran against.
He's the most fiscally conservative person running by far. The records of all the others running, compared to his own record show this to be a fact.
He's a Doctor, and served his country as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He's had a successful medical practice. As a specialist in obstetrics/gynecology, Dr. Paul has delivered more than 4,000 babies.
He was one of only four Republican congressmen to endorse Ronald Reagan for president.
He's a congressman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are.
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year. AND YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PAUL?
Your problem with Paul is he's fiscally conservative and
you're not. There can never be enough prisons for people like you. Using things like the drug war for an excuse to persecute people and put them in jail. You can't own a slave, or put Jews in concentration camps anymore, etc, so you cling to your Godless support for putting FREE tax paying citizens through the legal system all the while trading liberty for security because they use drugs. Then you get up and complain about losing your liberty without even realizing that you support losing your own liberty. You’re really just a nationalist socialist. Not really any different than the communist socialists you argue with everyday that you’re on here.
Socialists hate liberty, and that’s the real reason you hate Ron Paul.
