Paul doesn't play politics. That's why America doesn't deserve him.

You just don't like Ron Paul because he doesn't support bailouts for Fannie/Freddie (like tweedle dee and tweedle dumb do) to keep your real estate Ponzi scheme going a little while longer

Are you enjoying your Realtor(TM) career right now?

Well instead you come off as ignorant about it.

Please provide facts to back up your statement if you really think its true.

Funny. I said the same thing to you last week and you got angry with me and argued that, no, a big change was coming in our Israel policy, regardless of Obama's and McCain's statements of support.

Who got to you? The big international bankers or that AIPAC-dominated media?

I really like Ron Paul. He seems to stand for what Republicans used to be like: Fiscally conservative. And I like his ideas on non-interventionism. Although, from his speeches he seemed to be a big Reagan admirer, who seemed to be the opposite of what he stands for.

First term Reagan was much more in line with Paul. Find his speech, A Time for Choosing. It's exactly what Paul talks about.

Ron Paul was one of 4 Republicans to endorse Reagan for the 1976 RNC nomination. He lost. In the 80s, Ronald Reagan campaigned for Paul in Texas when he was running for his House seat.

Actually, Paul was good friends with Reagan, and did admire him however he did disagree with some things and actually called his administration a failure.

There is a video here that gives more context:

Thanks for the quick replies and the link! I didn't realize Paul felt that way about Reagan's term and I can't say I don't disagree with him. Out of all the Republican candidates he was the only one who gave straight replies as to what he would do if voted into office.
