Even though I am anti-drug I think Dr. Paul would get my vote. I love the fact that he wants to cut federal spending (for real). Side note: I just heard that Iowa grows the most weed, interesting. ---

I don’t think that he’ll get the nod, but if he did, I’d vote for him as well (he’s actually my first pick out of the bunch). Unfortunately though, I’m not a republican so no primaries ---

Yeah because returning the the gold standard would be a great idea :roll: To all the Ron Paul supporters, go look at ALL of his policies and get back to me. On the republican side, I admittedly don’t know much about Huk, Rom & Gul policies but I will say that Huckabee’s idea to move to a consumption based federal tax is a great idea. ---

> [@AWDrifter](#): > > CNN? > LOL just stop.😛 Heh. Touche. He lived in Indonesia for a few years during his childhood, but I can’t find any info on him studying muslim? Ah well, I think it’d be good if he did. We’ve got such a problem with radicals that a president with solid background knowledge of the muslim religion would be useful. ---

I also do not care what color he is. I think that he is the best candidate on the dem side for a variety of reasons. As for the republicans, Ron Paul is the most interesting candidate. It’s true that he is not all good, but a lot of his ideas are powerful. Too bad he is being so marginalized by the msm. ---
