Finally, all the reasons *NOT* to vote for Ron Paul, collected into one spot. Great for forwarding to your local Paulbot, or for increasing your own understanding of what Ron Paul's really all about.

Ron Paul's supporters most commonly give the following reasons for their loyalty.

1) Paul is honest and consistent.
2) Paul may have policies which are disagreeable, but so does any other candidate, and Paul's agreeable policies make up for the disagreeable.
3) Paul is a faithful adherent to the Constitution, and America has strayed too far from the Constitution.
4) Paul believes in liberty/freedom.

The theme of my argument is that Paul has none of these qualities, which I will demonstrate first by looking at his domestic policy, then by looking at his foreign policy. As evidence, I will use his speeches, sponsored legislation, articles, and public appearances. I think there is a demonstrable pattern which shows that not only is Paul a tricky politician like any other, he is also particularly ill-suited to the role of President. This trickiness, along with his policies, means that he would be a disastrous President.

9. Yeah, reading the OT makes the gods of ancient Greece...

...look calm, considerate and rational by comparison.

13. jehovah is one of the few gods that could possibly be diagnosed

as a sociopath just from what he claims to do and what he orders his followers to do.

4. "Paul is a faithful adherent to the Constitution..."

...which he apparently has not read.

5. Agreed. But Ron Paul, as the GOP nominee, would be HIGH-larious

Ron Paul believes all of this... tell me it ain't true.:)

8. One can believe anything he likes. Doesn't make it so. n/t

11. I believe if Dennis Kucinich

says he likes Ron Paul and they're friends... I believe it's true.


Peace.

12. Well sure, why not?

There is no reason why they cannot be friends.

10. But he's against the war!

He voted against the Iraq war and is against war with Iran. He would clearly make a better president than every Democratic candidate who voted for the Iraq war.
