I Think Ron Paul Might Actually Be Nuts.
*Update – Ron Paul Supporters - please visit this site. Thank you to Guinness for pointing that out!
Lately, I have been getting a lot of spam about Ron Paul from bloggers on all different kinds of sites but especially personal finance ones. And at first I looked into this guy but I then started thinking that he is nuts; and I am sorry if you support him but after reading this post over at Daily Kos this morning, I am convinced he is nuts – and maybe he is even encouraging all these people to send out spam mail to all of us. Here is what the post had to say about him:
Ron Paul wants the US to withdraw from the UN.
Ron Paul has tried to repeal the Occupational Health and Safety Act, to abolish the minimum wage, and to eviscerate Social Security.
Ron Paul wants guns in schools.
Ron Paul has tried to repeal the Davis-Bacon Act to guarantee employees of federal contractors the prevailing wage and wants to make it easier to decertify a union.
Ron Paul wants to amend the Constitution to end birthright citizenship.
There are references for each one of those posts to back up their claims, so head on over if you want to read them. And while I can understand that people want a different kind of politician in Washington (believe me, I do too), I also want a sane one! Now, if you are a blogger sending me spam about Ron Paul, you can stop – I don’t support him, I won’t support him, and I will just keep adding the strange things I learn about him to this post every time you spam me!

The writer of this blog is obviously a liberal social democrat who has no understanding of individual rights and free market economics, how they work, and how we have lost our way by attempting to solve all of our problems through expanding government power. I don’t agree with Ron Paul on everything but he is head and shoulders above any of the other candidates running for President. His popularity would indicate that perhaps we a seeing a shift in philosophy and a rejection of the status quo of the mainstream media.
Wow. There is seriously a candidate that wants to withdraw from the UN. Amazing.
Guns in schools. Bad. No, I take that back, awful. I can just see a school shooting where say a teacher did much more harm than good because they panicked with a gun in their hands.
But otherwise, vocal rabid admiration is just so last century. Survey says: he’ll never get in.
Craig – “individual rights”? You are right – liberal democrats don’t want or understand individual rights , so how could I understand it?
I am for individual rights for everything – it is RP who is not entirely for all individual rights, according to his platform….
Since when did you start accepting conventional wisdom?? So I guess we must be limited to agreeing with whatever the North Eastern part of this country says?? Afterall they know everything and run our public education and universities. Just keep going along with conventional wisdom. It’s done well by you so far.
barry-
A. I don’t accept it – but I am realistic.
B. I don’t live in the North East.
Regarding the post # 49. I would simply suggest visiting these sites:

Honestly, I could explain each one of those positions so they make perfect sense but there is no point when they are already explained in the websites above. I promise you will have a lot of ‘aha’ moments. Check it out for yourself then decide.
I won’t get into my political thoughts one way or the other. I’ll just say that I have received unsolicited e-mail, fliers, and all that stuff by one candidate. The more I receive these, the more annoyed with the candidate’s supporters I get.
It doesn’t really matter if the candidate is Gumby or the Green Latern. He should direct his supporters away from unsolicited email and polluting the environment (where 98% of those window fliers end up 4 seconds after they are discovered) on his behalf.
Things take on a life of there own. In allot of cases R.P. is being judged by what a few supporters do. Are we so shallow we fail to miss the message?
Have you looked past the small stuff to see the bigger picture? It’s no wonder why we get B.S.’d so easy. Every body wants a smooth talking,presidential looking,(what ever that is)candidate. I’m always surprised to see what makes people make their voting decisions.
We can only blame ourselves if this keeps happening.
Educate ourselves on the issues, study the candidates and be passionate about our right to follow through with our decisions!!!
[...] R/on P/aul Might Actually Be Nuts – I was living in the US for the last two presidential elections. We were actually in a pub in Greenwich cheering and doing shots when Florida was declared for Gore
From a safe distance I’m a lot less invested and stressed this time round, and the whole R/on P/aul (who I don’t like at all) phenomenon is both amusing and irritating to me depending on the day. David Two Dollars jousts with a few of his supporters. [...]
Ron Paul actually has some pretty decent ideas..
I’m not saying I’m going to vote for him, but I like the idea of smaller government, lower taxes, staying away from preemptive war, protecting our sovereignty, and promoting personal responsibility.

So I guess we’re just supposed to ignore Ron Paul’s association with white supremacists because he’s all about being against the war. Sorry, but Ron Paul’s agenda is straight out of the skinhead/militia play book of conspiracy theories. I don’t understand how one can be against war, but ok with hate mongering.
I don’t care that he’s against the Iraq war. The people he’s associating himself with tells me that he’s not really interested in preventing future ones.
“Can we be real”, just because Ron Paul has the support of some white supremacists doesn’t mean he is one himself. They have to vote for someone after all. If RP wasn’t in the race, and they voted for someone else, would that candidate “be associating” with white supremacists as well?
