What do you like/dislike about his political views?
How would he be as a president 1-10?

I enjoy his way of speaking

he seems like a really authentic person.

I like him, but no, i would rather he not be president.

He is an economic idiot when it comes to "gold backed currency." A diversified backed currency, however, may be a good idea.

Well, I went down the list with Ron Paul, before...on KMC. But I agreed with, I believe, 77% of his policies.

We had the gold standard for a long time, I'm not sure on which point you are attacking Ron Paul as an "economic idiot"...

Perhaps we wouldn't be operating from a place of such extreme indebtedness or have made such reckless economic decisions had we been under the gold standard. In fact, we probably would've never experienced the housing bubble or any of that bullsh!t caused by banks.

I'm not gonna say ron paul is an idiot on this point, it doesn't seem that bad an idea. I also wouldn't be completely supportive of a gold backed dollar either.

too pacifist

how? he just doesn't think we should be snooping in every one's business.

He objects to anything that isn't a response to us being attacked IIRC. He's too soft tbh.

Plus, "snooping in everyone else's business" = playing the same global chess game everyone else is playing.

it's one of the biggest things I like about him. keep to ourselves

Move to Canada.

nah. just got my experience from being in a pointless war. but i'm sure you know more than me

Which war were you in?

Afghanistan and popped in and out of Iraq a few times here and there

Afghanistan wasn't a pointless war. Iraq was botched. Thanks for your service though.

ok. funny how the news was reporting troops guarding poppy fields not too long and now we have this horrible drug epidemic. eh.
lusitania was a lie.
pearl harbor was shady
gulf of tongkin was confirmed lie.

i like what ron paul has to say.

but thanks for your thanks man.

no. I wouldn't make an assumption about the twin towers. I don't have enough info or interest at this point.

I've only spoken verifiable truths. go ahead and research the other stuff yourself. the information is readily available.
