This cat definitely had a better grip on what's right and what's wrong within our government and a plan to move in a path to fix it. He at least understood that our Federal govt. is seriously outta touch with its intended purposes and functions and wanted to implement change to move it back to more of its proper position which is a far cry from what either Obama or McCain ever stumped for.
Of course since he made sense, it was always assured he'd never get elected

The media portrayed him as a flake. Now the American public will be forced to pay for major news inept reporting. Ron Paul was just what this country needed. True conservative roots. Stop illegal immigration, get rid of failing government institutions and stop printing money as a bandage for a failing economy. Remove wasteful federal control over peoples liberties.

Sory mint, but I never envisioned Ron Paul as a flake. He was not a great public speaker like our new pres. elect, but it dudn matter when you talk outta which ever side of your head the political winds of today discern is appropriate, like Obama does.
Of all the candidates we saw in this election, at least to me, Ron Paul was absolutely the most unwavering in his positions and appeared far more genuine in his thoughts and purposes than did anyone else running.
I'm with Duane on this one, he was EXACTLY what we needed and many factors conspired to insure he would never get the chance, not the least of which being that his ideologies were racical, but only in the sense that they were intended to disempower the behemoth the Federal govt. has become, and continues to become, which is exactly what needs to happen to get us back to a true sense of US Constitutional government

Thank you sir. Check the pie charts on the video and imagine how bad the problem will be with the illegals added to the equation. It's ridiculous.

Our prisons and court systems are loaded with drug cases that only get worse every year because the DEA does not work. Our children are falling behind third world countries because of the Department of Education failings. The IRS is another institution that should be closed. We should only tax goods not income. The federal reserve, we should only print money with gold to back it up. These ideas don't treat the symptoms, they treat the infection. No candidate out there wanted to fix the problem because their special interests make there money through these institutions. Not even news agencies with their sponsors can be trusted. Just look at how they treated him. States should have control over most law making not a large one size fits all government.
Just my opinion about drugs is that pot is not in the same class as cocaine and heroin. If you sell cocaine (not sure about heroin) you get better deals on weed because it's the same path to the goods. If you make pot legal you eliminate the path and and the products are harder to sell. Its the equivalent of walking up to a man with a beer and asking if he knows where to get crack. If the hard drugs are not as accessible you get less addicts, hence less crime(prostitution, gang violence, murder, theft, assault) and less new users. Smaller prison populations also.
