Ron Paul seems like he would make an excellent president.

I have strong disagreement with the idea that America should retreat to fortress America and disengage from world affairs. His view that if only we would leave the world alone then all would be well seems naïve ,and disqualifies him as a legitimate alternative to the Presidency.

I am more inclined to agree with some aspects of his fiscal philosophies.

I think a lot of his points concern the shameful double standard we have in terms of world affairs (like turning a blind eye to Saudi Arabia, or the fact that our country initially gave lots of support and weapons to the brutal regime of Saddam Housein because he was killing the people we wanted to see killed, besides terrorizing his own citizens). This is what makes other countries hate us, and not the simple fact that we "are free". Ron Paul is trying to point out the other pieces of the puzzle. I don't think these views make him naïve or disqualify him. I think, just as, for example, we threw Rosa Parks in jail for saying blacks and whites should be equal, we are doing a big mistake if we do not listen to Ron Paul.

I think Ron Paul was not saying to retreat and disengage from world affairs, but he was saying that we should make some changes in the way we approach world affairs. This is what the 9/11 Commission report and our own CIA have pointed out, in terms of reasons as to why people on other sides of the world hate us. Ron Paul was also saying that we should follow our Constitution.

Yeah I agree with his fiscal philosophies too.

I agree he has my vote! Philly.com has the amount of money he raised within days for his campaign. Ron Paul looks like hope.

We shall see.

I think Ron Paul has exactly the right idea. We need to stop the private bankers from raping America since 1932. We need to back our dollar with something other than interest. Gold and interest would be just fine. There is nothing wrong with making money from money. It should be worth something though.

Rudy will be bidness as usual. He, as well as Hilary are in the bankers pocket and chosen for that job. Faux news just won't tell us that but then they are owned by the folks that make the biggest gains from a Fiat money system.
