It seems as though public enemy #1, Edward Snowden, was a Ron Paul supporter and even contributed to his campaign in 2012 to the tune of around $500.
Is it then any wonder that Edward Snowden did what he did? Here is a man stuck back in the 1700's, a time when government was seen as a possible threat, and not the savior and protector it has become today. After all, if Ron had been elected, he would have torn apart the NSA and stopped the spying on the American public. He would also have done such things as trying to balance budgets and pull Americans out of wars abroad. Clearly these types of loons are a danger to the American government and our subsequent safety. At the bare minimum, I think that these individuals need to be weeded out through the NSA and removed from high ranking positions.
What say you?
I've said this before, I would've voted for Ron Paul over Obama, and was a supporter of his. Had he won the nomination, it no longer would've been a choice between "the lesser of two evils", just a choice between a good candidate and a severely disappointing one.
And though I hate the Republican party, I'd easily choose him over Hilary.

I like the Jon Stewart bit about Ron Paul. He showed how all the major news organizations from CNN to Fox News either ignored him or made fun of him even though he was doing better than most at the beginning.
Ron Paul was the single greatest threat that the establishment faced, and he maybe the last. He is no match for propaganda machine of the powers that be along with their evil NSA computer network I like to refer to as "Hal".
Speaking of Hal, how about a nice game of chess? 😵
Originally posted by vivifyI met Ron Paul face to face, and he engaged me one on one in conversation for about a half hour. This is no ordinary political animal. I have never met Rand, but from what I've heard, the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree.

rand isn't much like his father, though. he's pretty much just another republican trying to cater towards libertarians
Originally posted by empovsunThat is somewhat typical of father and sons who have strongly held beliefs. Some would characterize Ron the same as you do Rand, but Ron's depth of integrity is rare, anywhere but especially in politics.

lol, i suppose you could argue that he's just acting, (a good one, at that) and doesn't really believe what he's preaching. highly doubtful, in my opinion, but its possible
Originally posted by empovsunIn general, if you get ten libertarians in a room, you will get a stimulating debate on something. That is their downfall politically, that they can't ever agree on enough to make a political platform.
