Why I Couldn’t Vote for Ron Paul Even if He Wasn’t a Racist

My main problem is with his supposed support of individual freedom. He does not support it when it affects women, businesses or insurance companies.

I have problems also with his stand against unions, the federal reserve and income taxes.

An informed voter checks facts and are not swayed by fantasy so I point you to his own website to check him out and see if you really could support him.

    I think the problem with most self-proclaimed libertarian leaders is they all want to slash Federal programs from the top downward. The problem is, by doing this, a lot of people will die in the process. For example, slashing medicare, medicaid, or social security will surely freeze several dozen grandmothers to death by the time mid winter hits. That’s not even counting deaths due to lack of medical care.

    I think libertarianism has it’s place in American culture, but it has to start at the community level. Something bordering on pioneer era cooperation and cross-community interfamilial support bordering on a commune model. If communities can become self sufficient without government funding and eventually branch out with support networks and cooperative local work projects, they can eventually free their states from federal dependence. And so on and so on until eventually the entire nation has developed it’s own safety net and infrastructure support models independent of help from the federal government. This is the only way that libertarianism will ever truly work. But I’ve yet to see a single libertarian leader understand this approach.

    It reminds me of Governor Rick Perry threatening over and over to secede from the US, only to turn around and demand federal relief funds when Texas caught on fire. He thought his state was self sufficient, but it sure as hell wasn’t. These types of lone wolf fantasies are useless without actually biting the bullet and doing smart organizing and hard work on the community level. Those bootstraps seem to have more rainbows and unicorn farts in them than any speech that Obama ever delivered.

    Instead of mad power grabs at the Federal level, they should be organizing locally and actually fixing the culture at the base fundamental level. I’ve seen some true libertarians on the local level here and there, but I have yet to see one make it to Washington.

    ok, everybody SHOULD know by now that we will ALWAYS have poor people and so we will ALWAYS NEED welfare whether in the form of food, shelter and medical.
    Libertarians stance goes against spending so they are not REALLY about “freedom”
    Freedom includes freedom to LIVE (not die).

    I will never understand those who can just accept that poor people will die in the same way that flies die in the winter.

    Ok, now just WHY are you and Denniegh tag teaming with each other against Ron Paul instead of Michelle Bachman or others that are WORSE than Ron Paul?

    Lets have some variety in here people. kick some OTHER Republicans asses and make it more fun.

    The only thing I like about Ron Paul is his foreign policy views.

    The only thing I really like about him is his bashing of the Federal Reserve but apart from that he holds little appeal for me. I like that he’s not CFR but that only goes so far.

    I want Dennis Kucinich for president!!

    Cheers,
