Ron Paul is awesome!
At least right now............ That will probably change when he begins talking about some other issue.

But right now he's on C-SPAN going off against the war on drugs.

1. And now Iraq
WMD... Congress didn't declare war - one of the things I loved about Carol Mosely Braun.

4. I think because there's a good many of us in an "intelligent center"
who can look at issues without an emotional bias.

Enough on both sides of the fence to start a third party that could provide a candidate that actually LEADS the country honestly & objectively?

Wishful thinking on my part, sorry.

3. He's really a libertarian
I think. Every time I hear something he's said I can't believe it's coming from someone with an R by their name.

Waiting to hear Wes, at least he's interesting.

7. I voted for him when he ran
back in the day

come to think of it, the only time I didn't vote 3rd party for prez was in 2000

If Ron Paul was the worst we had to worry about on the right, it would be a wonderful world indeed
