His walk and talk won't do much good to this country if he is elected...
It will be less destructive than another term of Obama or any RINO being elected. I can see a huge advantage of Paul being Commander in Chief compared to the disaster we have now. At least he actually served; no other candidate has.

Well, golly, two of those others are women and old enough that women weren't serving when they were at that age. Also, they both had too many kids to serve in the military.
Let me say that I don't want Paul and don't really know why. I think it has to be with him being a libertarian who goes along as a Republican. At least he isn't a RINO so I guess if all you people can get him nominated he would be lots better than Obama. I don't get to help or hinder since we don't have a presidential primary.
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.
I have heard people call him a bit, "Kooky" and "Unelectable." I don't see anything weird about this record. And I can't understand why America wouldn't elect this guy - unless we have totally given up on Honesty, Integrity, Freedom and Fiscal Responsibility.
The day Ron Paul is president, is the day I move to Canada! LOL...j/k.

I suspect you don't like him because you are uncomfortable with the Constitution at some level and would rather hear a candidate make promises he/she has no way of fulfilling rather than to truely uphold that which out founding father's designed. Paul comes the closest to representing the original intent of our founders for limited government and maximized liberty in his views and his votes.

I'm not sure why you don't like Paul, either. From most of your posts and comments, and knowledge of and appreciation for the Constitution, it seems like you would. Maybe you need to read up on him a bit.
The Ron Paul FREEDOM PRINCIPLES
Rights belong to individuals, not groups.
Property should be owned by people, not government.
All voluntary associations should be permissible -- economic and social.
The government's monetary role is to maintain the integrity of the monetary unit, not participate in fraud.
Government exists to protect liberty, not to redistribute wealth or to grant special privileges.
The lives and actions of people are their own responsibility, not the government's.
A number of people refer to him as a bit "kooky" but no one ever seems able to articulate exactly why they think that. I seriously would like to know. I think Paul is as good as it gets in terms of honesty, integrity and getting our country back to where our forefathers intended it to be.
Would you read this link and get back with some constructive feedback? TIA

America shall never elect Ron Paul as president because they are too afraid of freedom and too used to being on entitlements.

Who cares if he served? AFAIK, the USA is not a martial state. Soldiers don't make necessary good presidents.
