this seems like the man to do the job.
  unfortunately the likelihood of him getting elected is  infinitely small.
 
  do you really think the current government is going to let  this happen?

I think he wants to build a fence along the border with  Mexico, and round up and ship all illegal immigrants  currently in the US back over the border.
 
  So, its a good thing he's wanting to cut every other  government project completely out of the budget because  those two proposals alone will consume every penny that  everything else took.
 
  He also wants religion to play a larger role in  government.

where do you get your facts?
  ron paul on immigration: 
  Q: Is it even practical to try to send 12 million illegal  immigrants all home?
 
  PAUL: I would not sign a bill like [comprehensive  immigration reform], because it would be amnesty. I also  think that it's pretty impractical to get an army in this  country to round up 12 or maybe 20 million. But I do believe  that we have to stick to our guns on obeying the law, and  anybody who comes in here illegally shouldn't be rewarded.  And that would be the case. 
 
  Q: You voted to support that 700-mile fence along the border  with Mexico. Is there a need for a similar fence along the  border with Canada?
 
  PAUL: No. The fence was my weakest reason for voting for  that, but enforcing the law was important, and border  security is important. And we've talked about amnesty, which  I'm positively opposed to. If you subsidize something, you  get more of it. We subsidize illegal immigration, we reward  it by easy citizenship, either birthright or amnesty. 
 
  more facts. do your research, there's a lot of bad/lazy  reporting and misinfo out there.

Okay, so he didn't like the idea of a fence but he voted for  it.
 
  He may think enforcing the law is paramount, but I don't  think I agree with him when the particular law he is talking  about is broken and enforcing it is a fiscal impossibility.

I'm really not 100% convinced.  I think if Hillary wins the  democratic nomination there will be a real ugly shitstorm.   There's just so much hatred for anything Clinton in the  Republican party.
 
  If it gets ugly enough and she can't come off as a likable  human (which I have my doubts that she can), then I think  there's a chance she could lose, no matter who the  republicans nominate.

Right now I think a candidate's likability as a person and  their overall vision toward the world in general is more  important than any specific policy stance.
 
  Bush's administration has done more to hurt our standing as  a nation by just being a bunch of unilateral assholes than  any policy change can fix.
 
  I don't really care what Hillary's last name is, I just  don't like her.

Not that I'm disagreeing, but what lessons did America learn  from voting for Gore?
 
  If anything I would say American's learned that voting in  general doesn't get them anywhere, not that voting for a  more likable guy doesn't get them anywhere.
 
  Also, I'm not saying that likability should be the only  trait to look for, but the US is so polarized right now that  we're paralyzed internally, and we have a fucking terrible  image in the world. That hurts us any time we try to do  anything.

i get a sense from the democrats that they're willing to do  just about anything to win the next elections. even more so  than the republicans. they're even willing to play the game  like republicans. a nice example were the events in bali  where next to the delegation of bush's administration there  was a second delegation of democrats. this second delegation  basically saying not to worry too much about the first  delegation because in 2009 things will change for the  better. the next - what would be - democratic administration  is already busy laying the foundations for new and improved  international relationships. 
  it appears that the current administration is left virtually  powerless and seeing the current events around certain  destroyed cia tapes its days are numbered as well.

Paul seems like a decent honest guy, which as I've said  before is my main criteria for a candidate. I also like Gore  and Nader for the same reason.
 
  Issue-wise fundamentally I'm a libertarian (+social  liberties, -excess government) so he's right up my alley.
 
  I don't necessarily agree with his stances on abortion or  immigration but eh, there's always something I don't like  about every candidate.

The one good thing about Huckabee is that he's  forcing all the other candidates to show how non-secular  they really are.

Yes, well, Huckabee has the balls to retire of a huge  bloated system like the IRS. Which would be an amazing  thing.  I'm sick of the status quo in government. The "keep  pilling on" mentality, thus being left with a bloated  system. The IRS is nothing but a fucking mob boss. Every  product you buy is taxed from here to sunday. Its not just  taxed at the point of sale. Then we get taxed for having the  money to buy the products. Its never ending. It's a way to  keep tabs on and enslave people. Ron Paul ought to take  note. Dismantling the IRS would mean true independence.

Ron Paul was the first one to put forth that idea, now  Huckabee is saying he would do the same just to win votes..
