Some ppl on here may already know of this. Check it out. 11,000 comments, at least half (probly 3/5) calling for Ron Paul to be given 2008 person of the year.
Literally the only man I ever thought made politics logic, of the candidates.
Im glad obama won over mccain, but you got royally ripped not having a wise old man show you in PRACTICE the change you need. Next time around might be too late, 2012 = 77 years old.

Hes also a racist, haha. If you thought the response to Hurricane Katrina was bad, how would getting rid of FEMA help? Sure thanks to incompetence and a slew of negative traits associated with the Bush administration FEMA did a terrible job in the Gulf Coast, but getting rid of the organization all together is not the answer. Imagine: under Ron Paul's ridiculous vision for America there would be no federal response to something like Katrina. He also wants America to pull out of the United Nations, NATO, the International Criminal Court, and most international trade agreements. He wants to abolish FEMA, get rid of the Department of Homeland Security, send the U.S. military to guard the Mexican border, eliminate the IRS (well, no complaints there), end most foreign aid, phase out Social Security, and reestablish gold and silver as legal tender.
Sure that's change, but that be some crazy change that's simply unrealistic in an environment of globalization

Ron Paul is a Big L Libertarian, meaning that hes one step away from being an anarchist.
he thinks the free market of the world is the answer to the worlds problems, and that any regulation is bad regulation. meaning that the shit we are in now would be extremely common place, not to mention monopoly's and god knows what other lovely problems that can come up from complete lack of over site for ethical business practices.
hes also interested in an isolationist stance for the US, which is complete bullshit in a global economy. having that type of stance would destroy the US economy, and the worlds along with it. as a result of that the next major war would then be possible. the only reason so many of the super powers now don't fight directly over resources like gas is because our economy's are so intertwined that any war with each other would be mutually assured financial collapse.
Ron Paul at his core principles is a fucking nut job that doesn't understand the world.
though some of his positions and discussions were very blunt as to why terrorism in the world occurs but other than that he to attached to a political theory to think outside of his own little world, and understand the reality of the situation we are all currently in.
the reason why he has so many supporters on something like that youtube thread, is that is ALL of his supporters. they are a VERY tiny minority of people and they are quite vocal on the internet, but that's about all they are. they are one step above Nader supporters in my book but not by much haha.
killermonkey:
George Bush should totally be person of the year (laughs)
Wake[of]theBunT:
Hes saying most of the time that states can handle decision making, they dont need federal departments with massive buildings and redundant programs that do next to nothing raping you of your hard earned money.
Small government is a solid trait of the republican backbone, hes more republican than any other member of the party. The others have gone soft over many years and tried to convert the parties core beliefs from a time when ideals where held high.
How is he a racist? when you make what you think is an argument that he is, ill post the youtube video in which he advocates the most logical viewpoint there is on race. Also, hes not just big on the internet because its "internet people" who support him, its because the media thought him almost a circus candidate so his only platform for launching support was the internet, hes smart that way.
He totally raped every reporter that tried to strongarm his beliefs, and he made rudolph juliani piss on that debate, it was embarrasing to see rudolph try to curry a "moral" victory by exploiting september 11 patriotism, it bordered on idiotic also since ron paul bases everything on hard facts strongly supported by knowledgable sources, this time CIA investigations into 911 citing reasons for the attack as indeed a factor being that you occupied their holy lands with troops to "protect" oil when you had no actual right to do so. Its threat by force that makes the world hate your ways. Ron paul would end that stigma by ending the act of it.
