You guys are silly. Ron Paul is a joke. Just go to his website and look at "issues."
A sample on the environment:
" The key to sound environmental policy is respect for private property rights. The strict enforcement of property rights corrects environmental wrongs while increasing the cost of polluting.
In a free market, no one is allowed to pollute his neighbor's land, air, or water. If your property is being damaged, you have every right to sue the polluter, and government should protect that right. After paying damages, the polluter's production and sale costs rise, making it unprofitable to continue doing business the same way. Currently, preemptive regulations and pay-to-pollute schemes favor those wealthy enough to perform the regulatory tap dance, while those who own the polluted land rarely receive a quick or just resolution to their problems."
Basically, I want to do nothing about the environment, and have it be worked out through law suits?

As opposed to Democrat fear-mongerers who scream that our planet is dying when there is no evidence to support that? What Paul said is pretty much from the CONSTITUTION. I wouldn't expect you to recognize that document since it's not even referenced in today's society.
