Do Not Be Afraid of Ron Paul

I will also like to answer some of the concerns of the folks who are afraid that Dr. Paul would gut the Federal Government with my take on what Ron Paul means:
Ideally, as strict constitutionalist and libertarian Republican in the mold of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan, his ultimate goal would be reduce the role of the federal government to bring it to within its true constitutional limits and decentralize and devolve power, funding and responsibility back to the states, communities and the individual. Issues that are divisive at the national level would not be at the state or local level because cultural considerations. Just as California is very different than Iowa as is to Louisiana. The federal government will never be able to accommodate everyone’s cultural differences as much as the MSM and pundits wish.
Mr. Paul is very savory in arguing the dire economic implications of the federal government having to borrow billions of dollars to sustain overwhelming foreign commitments, while the dollar is ever devalued and tanking, social security improperly funded, and federal government commitments to Medicare, Medicaid and security net programs under funded and unviable. Ron Paul would slash our foreign commitments to fully fund the social programs for those who are depended then as people are weaned and gain wealth back, inflation is checked, power restored back closer to the individual, confidence in personal responsibility will be restored so dependence on socialist policies are eventually reduced completely at the federal level
Will Ron Paul accomplish all of this in his presidency, no, but he will set the nation on a direction that will allow the restoration of our self-respect, our individual and communities financial health and most of all restore pride to be an American and truly un-isolated and respected by others on this planet.

I'll never understand why the internet community throws it's support behind a candidate who is against net neutrality and who has been quoted making very racist and bigoted remarks. Srsly, I thought most of us knew how to use google and research a candidates policies and character.

I'll never understand why anyone savvy with the internet would support someone who isn't against net neutrality.
Nor do I understand why people with access to so much information would fail to notice that any racist or bigoted remarks related to him were made by an employee who was promptly dealt with after publishing such comments.

Ron Paul is by far the best republican for the job.
Vote Ron Paul 2008.

Dust, you've already drank the kool-aid.

Hey, I hope he wins the nomination. Because really, he doesn't have a chance in the general election, no matter who wins the democratic nomination.
