Follows, Supports, and Defended the Constitution.  What else do you want?

I never voted for Paul, but I believe he has gotten a bad rap. In the first Republican Presidential primary debate, Paul said that the 9-11 attacks were a result of our policies. Isn't that just a matter of common sense? He did not say that we were wrong or that the terrorists were right. Paul will probably never be Pres, but I think most will agree that our economic and foreign policies are in need of a major overhaul.

Ron Paul makes plenty of observations that in my view are dead on accurate, especially about the despondent state of our economic/monetary system and our foreign policy.  I would definitely consider in the general election, but he is too much of a straight shooter to be elected, nor does he come across well on tv.  Thus he has almost no chance of being elected. 

My friend keeps telling me to write him in...

He makes all the right noises, but he is still a weird duck.

An extraordinary honest man.

Intriguing candidate. . .seems to hold the intelligent aspects of republicanism close while rejecting the religious zealotry that has poisoned the party. . .(ex. he does not believe in abortion but claims that a legal barrier is gov't intrusion - an intelligent stance that seems to make him too smart for the job.). . .Paul has some good ideas but I don't sense a large buzz for him yet- but he's right on many issues. . .but Americans haven't voted for the most intelligent candidate in the recent past. . .

Ron Paul is the only candidate that can save this nation and fight the globalists among us who are seeking to destroy our country. Ron Paul is the only person in congress who has been true to his oath of office. Ron Paul will restore our republic and overturn the decades of executive orders that have removed The Constitution as law of the land!!! say no to the patriot act, say no to the coming national id card, say no to the U N, say no to unconstitutional "wars", say no to tyranny in America, say yes to freedom and liberty, say yes to the ideology that made this country great for 200 years. vote for Ron Paul please.

His stance against the occupation of Iraq, gun control and the counterproductive war on drugs is a definite plus, and if seniors didn't vote, this guy might have a chance, but Social Security, HUD senior housing assistance and Medicare are all that keep millions of our vulnerable elderly from homelessness and death, and he's determined to abolish all US government social programs, so I doubt he's really in the running. 

UPDATE:

During his 30-year career in politics, Paul has made a number of offensive, racist statements in the press and in his personal newsletter, The Ron Paul Political Report, including: * "If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know unbelievably fleet-footed they can be." Victoria Advocate, 5/24/96 * "Given the inefficiencies of what the DC laughably calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or criminal." Victoria Advocate, 5/24/96 * "Opinion polls consistently show that only five percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action." Victoria Advocate, 5/24/96

Ron Paul, age 72, is a very mixed bag. He's a 10th-term Republican congressman from Texas, and a physician. He also ran for president in the 1988 presidential election as the nominee for the Libertarian Party, while remaining a registered Republican.

He supports:
* free trade
* lower taxes
* reduced government spending
* smaller government
* states' rights
* national sovereignty
* a non-interventionist foreign policy
* reduced legal immigration
* tighter border security
* gun ownership
* free speech
* withdrawal from NATO and the United Nations
* abolition of the Internal Revenue Service and the federal income tax
* the military "don't ask, don't tell" policy
* voluntary school prayer
* a return to free market health care
* a return to the gold standard

He opposes:
* abortion, but supports allowing each state to decide whether to allow or prohibit abortion, instead of the federal government
* capital punishment
* membership in NAFTA and the WTO
* the REAL ID Act
* universal health care
* the federal War on Drugs
* federal regulation of marriage
* foreign interventionism
* foreign aid
* same-sex adoption
* illegal immigration, birthright citizenship, and amnesty
* federal control over education, instead favoring local and state level control
* Roe v. Wade, saying it was unconstitutional and should be overturned

He voted
* against the USA PATRIOT Act, the Iraq War Resolution, and the Military Commissions Act of 2006
* for the Authorization for Use of Military Force, which resulted in the War in Afghanistan in 2001
* "yes" on the Secure Fence Act of 2006

He introduced
* the "Sanctity of Life Act of 2005," a bill that would have both defined human life to begin at conception, and removed jurisdiction over abortion prohibitions from the federal courts. Defining embryos and fetuses as persons would have caused abortion to be treated as murder and would outlaw stem cell research and some contraception and fertility treatments.

* the "We the People Act," which, if made law, would forbid federal courts (including the Supreme Court) from hearing cases on subjects such as the display of religious text and imagery on government property, abortion, sexual practices, and same-sex marriage; would make federal court decisions on those subjects non-binding as precedent in state courts; and would forbid federal courts from spending any money to enforce their judgments.

See Wikipedia, Ron Paul.

Some good positions, but toofar out there on too many issues for me, folks. On to the next candidate.

He may scare a lot of those Jesus Freaks since he was a Libertarian and the JFs hate that.
