Just FYI Who is Ron Paul?

[sproutster]

I know what wiki says about him. But I'm a gamer and one of my sites has a political section. He is being pushed big time there for a presidency run. I'd never really heard about him before.

1. He's a state's rights guy

that sometimes gets other things right.

5. Thanks, I was praying I wasn't ticking anyone off... :)

I don't know a thing about him and most here have the info on stuff that is not readily available. I'm in Idaho, and his name never hit my radar.

2. As far as I remember, he's a Libertarian/quasi-Republican.

As a rule, when dolts don't like the way a Republican system works, they turn to the Losertarians as saviors.

6. Left-wing or Right-wing Libertarian?

[slj0101]

9. Right wing.

14. How can one be RW and "quasi-Republican" at the same time? nt

[BurtWorm]

3. Ideologically pure right-wing Libertarian, except he runs as a Republican

Not a good choice.

4. A large black man dressed in women's clothing?

Or am I thinking of someone else. :)

7. ROFL! You might mean RuPaul.

8. One of Cheney's proteges...

that's probably all you need to know.

[sproutster]

10. ugh...

[sproutster]

11. Should probably clarify my ugh

He had some good votes.

12. I thought he hated Cheney?

Ron Paul is a Libertarian - and he's as opposed to the neocons as we are.

[LeftishBrit]

13. From what I know about him, he's a right wing nut except for one thing

He's been against the war from the beginning (I think - at least for a long time) and deserves some credit for that.

Other than that, he sounds pretty horrible.
