You should read up on his thinking.
He's got a solid voting track record that backs up his speeches.
He returns money that his office didn't spend every year.

He's the one who wants to audit the Fed and grills Bernake every chance he gets.
See if McCain would have made him VP who knows. Im not familiar with the reason he didnt get picked

This is what happens when radio disc jockeys are allowed to take the lead on government policy and political discourse.

There were Republicans that were progressives and fought against the excesses of big business and fought for social justice and there were Democrats (otherwise called Dixiecrats) that did the exact opposite.

I suggest to the OP crack open a book, read up on your history and stop letting lunatic fringe disc jockeys define your reality.

Because he's not beholden to any bank or corporate entity.
You see..Ron Paul has not been bought out.
He tried in 2008 and was put out of contention pretty early in the game.

There is a difference between conservative and Conservative.

Ron Paul is for following the Constitution.

That bill is cosponsored by Alan Grayson, currently one of the most, if not THE outspoken progressive democrats.

It was neither liberals nor true conservatives that were willing to "pass their debt to the children." It was the neo cons and anyone who doesn't recognize that is going to help make history repeat itself.
and its not the conservatives that are giving is 1 trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see. largest deficit while bush was resident was 530 billion which was also too large and was put on our kids credit card.
when are trillion dollar deficits per year enough for us to take action before it is too late?

It wouldn't change anyone's mind if he could make it rain gold in the streets. Nothing changes the fact that Obama is an incompetent socialist thug who needs to be returned to his Chicago hood. His proper place is selling popcycles from a street cart...
