Ron Paul, a physician, has earned himself the name "Dr. No" by refusing to vote for any bill which assumes powers other than those given in Article I, Section VIII of the Constitution. When one takes a sober look at our country today, it's easy to see why Dr. Paul would behave this way.
Take note that there is no authority in the Constitution for the setting of interest rates (as the Federal Reserve does) -- interference which led directly to the housing bubble (which Ron Paul predicted). Despite U.S. participation in several sizable wars, Congress has not bothered itself with actually declaring war since 1942 (on Romania). There is no authority to bail out banks, intervene in labor disputes, subsidize farming, regulate health insurance, or set educational policies. Every one of these unauthorized activities drives costs up (or drives prosperity down) and ultimately hurts average Americans. Increasingly, Americans are realizing that most of our social and economic ills can be traced to a failure to follow our own Constitution. Ron Paul has always been a strict, unapologetic Constitutionalist. How Ron Paul would govern as president can be envisioned by simply reading Article II of the Constitution (The Executive Branch.)
When it comes to the science of government, this statement by John Adams makes a perfect starting point for any debate: "The form of government which communicates happiness to the greatest number of persons, and in the greatest degree, is best."

Why RP becomes wacky on foreign policy issues, I’ll never know. This 9/11 was an inside job, illuminati, Bilderberg stuff worldwide conspiracy is far fetched to say the least. It may be true that there are a lot of evil globalist types, but they all have big egos, hate each other and have different aims. Soros and Dick Cheny are not working together in some worldwide group to produce mutant children ( but maybe Soros is).
That being said, I would happily vote for RP over zero any day. I just wonder if RP is not the GOP candidate, would RP voters just throw away their vote?

Apparently the guys above got so tired of the Obama fan soldiers being able to keep photos of him on their desk and on display because Obama is the CIC, that they decided to do something — have this photo taken together with the Ron Paul t-shirts on. They can keep the photos in their locker or drawers to remind themselves and each other — and they can send them home. That’s where this copy came from — one sent home.
Four years later and I believe this still holds true. It does on my part.
