More were put into the private sector, than would be today, if we ended our world occupation.

It will be another pissing contest between the White House and the Congress.
He would only end the undeclared wars.

Our troops came home, by how many??..., plus the wounded.

Were taxes raised? Did they stay the same, or where they lowered?
Were regulations and unions raised, lowered or stayed the same?

Ron Paul is who I will vote for in 2012...the only candidate I would vote for, and I am sure the only one who would never be allowed to win the presidential title.

I am so tired of hearing what Ron Paul would do in a vein similar to what Jesus would do. How exactly is it his supporters know what he'll do in the snowball-in-hell likelihood he's elected??? Lay off the Kool-Aid....please.

Because he has been saying the same exact things for 30 years. I really can't think of any other politician that is so consistent. He predicted the housing bubble and economic crash.

But I agree, even if he does win I have reservations that he would be able to change anything. We are too far gone.

The best way to predict the future is to look at history. Ron Paul has been saying the same things for 30 years, his principles never change, he has never sold out to lobbyists, and never voted for a tax increase. I can even tell you what principle-less flip floppers like Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney will do if elected:the same thing Obama's doing. Just more status quo.
