What is it about this guy that morons latch onto, even here on DU? Because of course there are NOO Democrats opposed to the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, or war on drugs :sarcasm:

Ron Paul:
1. Would eliminate Dept. of Education, Dept. of Energy, Dept. of Health and Human Services, FEMA, and the IRS.
2. Would eliminate all income tax.
3. Does not believe in separation of church and state.
4. Believes states should be able to outlaw flag burning.
5. Supports DOMA.
6. Criticized Lawrence v Texas.
7. Rabidly pro-life, sponsored Sanctity of Life Act among other legislation aimed at banning abortion.
8. Is a climate change denier.
9. Opposes the voting rights act.
10. Opposes the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Separate drinking fountains and lunch counters are A-OK with him if that's what individual states want to do.
11. Opposes any limits on campaign contributions.

Ron Paul's vision of the future is one where we all pay tolls to use a highway, we can opt to let our houses burn down rather than pay a fire protection fee. If you can't pay to send your kid to a private school then they can just grow up without learning to read. A society where we should just trust the food and drug industries not to poison us or make us sick and always do what is in our best interests. A society where the old and sick can just starve when the markets tank because they chose not to fund their 401ks intelligently and diversify their portfolios when they had the opportunity.

Forgot to add one more: since animals are just property, opposes all animal cruelty laws. You can buy as many dogs and cats as you like and torture them in the most heinous ways possible and nobody can infringe on your personal right to do so.

Yeah, a real plain talking hero that guy.
