You tell me if he makes any sense!

Let's debate the parts of his ideology you disagree with.

This is what I believe also. The fact that he would be elected would send a huge message to the House and Senate as to what the people really want.

And, heck, if he could just accomplish 25% of what he wants, we would be sooooooooo much better off.

why do you keep using that offensive term?
Ron Paul would be the first President in my lifetime that would actually do his best to reduce the size of government and restore true capitalism to this country. He would be an outstanding President, and I will be proud to vote for him.
There is nothing phony about this man, he calls em as he sees em, and tells it like it is. How refreshing is that.

I use that "offensive" term since teabaggers originally censored Ron Paul. Why do you support censorship of an actual fiscal conservative who is anti-war and pro-civil liberties?

I support Ron Paul. Please take your case elsewhere.

The use of the term you have chosen to use is offensive. As to the rest of your of comment, please explain how he was censored from a 2008 debate.

You are a sensitive one, eh? Fox News, a leading advocate behind the tea party movement, banned Ron Paul from a Republican debate in 2008.

I think in 2008 the Teaparty was still a Ron Paul movement. Ron Paul, however, was certainly excluded from some of the Republican debates.

The Teaparty movement wasn't highjacked by the Republicans until after Obama was elected.
