Reply #83: I'd still take him over Hillary

[info being]

I think he's nutty on many issues (Libertarianism isn't a realistic answer to the health care crisis, for example). But I agree with him on two very big things: 1) protecting personal liberty, and 2) foriegn policy. I'd love to see him, as President, battling with a Democratic Congress. It would completely change the way we frame the debate in this country, and in the end they would flush out some truth, peace, prosperity, and a few practical solutions to go along with it.

He's right on so much:

1) ending the federal deficit
2) against torture
3) agaist aggressive war
4) for protecting The Constitution
5) legalizing drugs
6) getting beaurocracy out of the schools
7) breaking up the Department of Homeland Security
8) cutting military spending
9) helping small business
10) pro-peace
11) anti-WTO

I'm sure I've left out some *big ones*. His one flawed assumption is that the free market fixes all. this approach doesn't address the reality of a corporate-controlled world. But he has some points there as well...that the biggest problems with corporations is when they get protective treatment from the government. He wants to keep the market open and free from the meddling of politicians.

Anyway, I'm cheering for him and think I might vote for him over some of the Democratic alternatives.
