I was about to say the same - this guy... fuck yeah, he's got it all right. If there just wasn't any foreign aid, there would be a much higher incentive to come to an agreement. Spot on.CameronPoe wrote:
It's a pity Ron Paul's domestic policy is a little far-fetched because his foreign policy is bang on.

I liked his answer btw
I think he is the guy for two reasons, though he likely won't win anything.Turquoise wrote:
Ron Paul is the only Republican presidential candidate I would vote for. Even though he lost my respect when it became known that he's a creationist, I have to admit that his answer to the question presented in the OP was quite good.
The sad part is... The answer to the question he presents is... yes. Ron Paul is not a true Republican, because Republicans are not true advocates of smaller government. They ceased being the party of small government around the time of Nixon. Barry Goldwater tried to steer them in the right direction toward smaller government, but it failed horribly. Instead, Reagan and the Religious Right took over, and the small government dream was lost.
Ron Paul is a Libertarian, because that is the only party that truly represents smaller government.
That being said, while I lean in the Libertarian direction, I can't say that I would vote for Paul. I can still respect his sincerity though.

It's possible to respect someone's integrity without agreeing with them or understanding the basis of their logic on certain issues (like evolution).GunSlinger OIF II wrote:
ya really going back and forth on this one.
I don't know if he's right at everything he says, but he really is the only candidate among the Dems and Reps that dares to talk about the important stuff*. The others are all full of "lines" and jokes and shit tbh. All they do is avoid questions. Which brings about another issue imo: Has anybody else noticed how 99% of the questions being asked are totally inappropriate one way or another? I mean, I look at the issues tackled and all I see is nonsense and stuff that's not so important. And where there might be a worthy question, all I get for answers is maneuvers of avoidance followed by stupid jokes.Mason4Assassin444 wrote:

1. He tells it like it is.
2. No one else is saying shit (In my opinion).
