Hello, hello. Haven't been on the site for a week or so. I went to Wisconsin on vacation with Alicia and then Saturday I supported Ron Paul in Ames at the straw poll. Hopefully Yoda doesn't care, as I know there is already a "Who will beat Obama" thread. But if it's allowed by site rules to support a candidate I want to give props to Ron Paul.
He seems more genuine than many of the other Republicans and is of course more libertarian than Republican despite running on the card.
Some of his views are...
legalizing drugs to cut national debt and prison population.
Personally against gay marriage, but doesn't want the government involved in saying who can and cannot get married.
Wants a withdraw of troops from Afghanistan
Against new taxes.
Pro-life - though I disagree with him on Americans not having the option, I do agree that it SHOULD NOT be funded by government tax payer money.
He basically tied in the Iowa Straw Poll despite what the media says. Jon Stewart did a nice piece on the bias in the media coverage and I'm not a huge Stewart fan. Anyway.
