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.

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.
