He's not. As much as I would love him to, it's not going to happen. Stop relying on one man to change the country, only the people can do that.

I agree. Really a lot of Ron Paul's policies are horrible, especially considering he is an isolationist. Really the only reason Ron Paul has a cult following is because he's one of the few honest politicians and he'll say it as it is. That being said, he's probably the best choice out of the two major parties, and he's obviously a trillion times better than Obama/Romney (who are pretty much the same person)

Dude, really? Ron Paul an isolationist? The only policy that is "horrible" is his policy on health care. Everything else is spot on.

You're joking right? He doesn't seem to have any grasp on how foreign relations work and his foreign policy is quite possibly a bigger threat than Obamacare.

For those thinking Ron Paul is the greatest thing since sliced bread, your wrong. His stand on foriegn policy is outright dangerous. I will be voting for Santorum and proudly so. He will work for the people the most. Hell the man went door to door in a pick-up truck trying to get votes in iowa's caucus. Although I don't see eye to eye with him on his views of the gay community; I do like his commitment to the people of this great nation. He upholds the values that I see fit for a presidential figure and I believe he's very capable of productivity in the white house. He's already successfully gone up against big business interests as a senator. He'll get my vote.

For those who may want more information about him here's a link to his accomplishments / credentials
http://www.ricksantorum.com/why-rick


Lol...Santorum is a joke, not only with his policy on gay rights, but also of abortion and many other hypocritical stances. (i.e tort reform)

Yeah he is really a joke, not only his policy on gays and abortion though. He has state that he opposes the right to privacy and here are his views on libertarianism:


I wouldn't trust the libertarians either if I were American.

Let the states decide? Ha! I think the American Civil War started because the president at the time was a compromiser and let Kansas choose if it wanted slavery or not... then all sorts of crazy stuff happened.


No the civil war started because a free-soil president won the election of 1860 and slave states in the south saw this as the end of their 'right' to property so they made the argument that a state could secede if the national government didn't protect their rights. Lincoln argued that states couldn't secede because it took the people along with it, and this is a government of the people and not the states. The issue was solved over war. North won. States can't secede.

This. But history is written by the victors.

It's not like they killed such a large amount of southerners in the Civil War that their side was never told...

Their side isn't really being told. Teachers MIGHT mention something briefly along the lines of "some people think the war was over states' rights," but then wouldn't elaborate much more than that. Then they'd go on talking for a week about how it was about slavery.

Saying Obama and Romney are the same person is like saying LoL and DOTA 2 are the same game, or that beer and wine are the same drink.

It's quite obvious that Romney is nothing more than a RINO. Anyone who votes for him expecting a revival of America is instead going to get second term Obama. Romney created the blueprint for Obamacare, he isn't going to repeal it, despite what he says. I wouldn't buy into his vague plans for spending-cuts that he keeps mentioning, but neglects to mention what he is going to cut exactly.

Obama's healthcare plan is a threat? lol

Once you nationalize healthcare, it gives the government complete control over every aspect of your life. People doing things that the government feels is unhealthy? Intervene in their personal life and take away their right make their own decisions in the name of "lowering the government healthcare burden." Not to mention it's been proven that welfare makes people lazy and dependent on the government. Then you have to look at the economic aspect, we're in a massive recession right now, and Obama thinks that having the federal government pay for the health costs of over 300 million people is somehow going to rejuvenate the economy?

I am canadian, we have universal healthcare, and I don't feel like government has complete control over every aspect of my life. That is just silly.

The concept of "freedom" became so twisted over the years to fit with the libertarian views. It has been proven that welfare makes people lazy ? Yeah right, Canada employment rate is higher than in the USA, and we have more welfare. Canada wasn't hit as hard as you guys were during this recession. Maybe you just don't know what you are talking about.

Seriously I hope Santorum win the republican nomination, such a cool dude. Can't wait to see him debate Obama... Oh yeah !

He's not. As much as I would love him to, it's not going to happen. Stop relying on one man to change the country, only the people can do that.

I agree. Really a lot of Ron Paul's policies are horrible, especially considering he is an isolationist. Really the only reason Ron Paul has a cult following is because he's one of the few honest politicians and he'll say it as it is. That being said, he's probably the best choice out of the two major parties, and he's obviously a trillion times better than Obama/Romney (who are pretty much the same person)

Dude, really? Ron Paul an isolationist? The only policy that is "horrible" is his policy on health care. Everything else is spot on.

You're joking right? He doesn't seem to have any grasp on how foreign relations work and his foreign policy is quite possibly a bigger threat than Obamacare.


dude staying out of other countries problems is the best thing America can do. Just imagine having peace with Iran instead of escalating violence.

Saying Obama and Romney are the same person is like saying LoL and DOTA 2 are the same game, or that beer and wine are the same drink.

It's quite obvious that Romney is nothing more than a RINO. Anyone who votes for him expecting a revival of America is instead going to get second term Obama. Romney created the blueprint for Obamacare, he isn't going to repeal it, despite what he says. I wouldn't buy into his vague plans for spending-cuts that he keeps mentioning, but neglects to mention what he is going to cut exactly.


You do realize that politicians normally attempt to do what they promise.


"Do or do not, there is no try."
But he is never making short-term prediction, everyone of his prediction are based on fundenmentals, but he doesn't exactly know when it will happen... So using these kind of narrowed "who-is-right" empirical analysis makes little sense.

just imagine Iran expanding into afghanistan/pakistan/iraq and getting a nuke. all the while the "shining beacon" of democracy and human rights sits by and lets fundamentalism and regression take over.

"Do or do not, there is no try."

Now that is a problematic attitude in a negotiation. If the parties agree all is fine and dandy. If parties disagree the do or do not's will just have to sabotage any compromise since it is either or.

Or you know the US and/or our allies get nuked. But let's just ignore the consequences of ignoring threats and pretend that if we adopted a non-interventionist foreign policy that nobody would ever attack us. Tell me, did Poland have an interventionist foreign policy in 1939? What about Finland?

Obama's healthcare plan is a threat? lol

Once you nationalize healthcare, it gives the government complete control over every aspect of your life. People doing things that the government feels is unhealthy? Intervene in their personal life and take away their right make their own decisions in the name of "lowering the government healthcare burden." Not to mention it's been proven that welfare makes people lazy and dependent on the government. Then you have to look at the economic aspect, we're in a massive recession right now, and Obama thinks that having the federal government pay for the health costs of over 300 million people is somehow going to rejuvenate the economy?


Don't you think those 60 million, if they were healthy, would fuel the economy?
Obama is doing the right thing, healthcare is something the US had been behind in for decades.

And please state your sources on the welfare making people lazy.

I'd rather pay to help some worker get scanned for possible illness than to bail out a bank or invade a country unjustly.

Both warmongering and isolationism is completely out there in the land of Utopia. You need a balance and you need to understand that USA is not the only country in the world. Europe is almost at the same military capabilities if you disregard the political differences. It is not always USA having to make the decisions of war and peace for anyone else for who are you to judge? FN is a dead end for almost any kind of interventions anywhere, but there are other possibilities for finding military alliances beginning to show and it would be wise to make those alliances grow and you do not do that by ignoring the rest!

Your posts lack any form of intelligence. I can't believe you actually believe the Republican formed myth about "Obamacare" and how it's going to somehow end up like 1984. Take of your tin foil hat, and realize that other countries with socialized medicine/healthcare are doing well, if not better than the US in many aspects of everyday life. Your WWII comparisons also lack validity because of the huge differences between nazi germany/poland finland and current day society.
