I Disagree With Ron Paul.

I have been listening to Ron Paul and reading his books and I have found a couple issues I disagree with him on.
He says we should not have tariffs on imported goods.
He says illegal immigrants are not taking our jobs
He is pro Nuclear power.
I have heard his reasoning for his view points and he has good reasoning behind his stance although I do not agree with him on these issues.
When it is time to vote I will vote Paul because even though I may disagree with him on some major issues I feel he will continue to do what he is supposed to and what is right for our country.

That would be a dream ticket-Paul-Duke-It'll never happen their are to many people who would discriminate against Duke.
I would like to see Duke proclaim his canidacy from atop Stone Mountain.

Their is no law requiring that you pay taxes so I wouldn't consider him a cheat, a victim of extorshion maybe and as I stated before I support his platform.

Likewise, I'm a RP supporter but there are major issues of his that do concern me. His view on marriage and his pro life stance primarily.

Unfortunately neither party seems to have the balls to do what needs to be done there. They are both in the tank for multinational corporations. Ron Paul, Obama, the Clintons, Romney, Cain, Newt, etc.

Well you're being objective about it and considering all the issues, so I can't argue against that.

Show me proof Ron Paul is in the tank for multinational corporations. What are the names of these multinational corporations he supports?

His policies are the proof. I know you think he's omnipotent, but unfortunately he is a politician.

If you guys acted more like Beardo, objectively weighing the positives and negatives of Ron Paul's policies and then decided the positives out weigh the negatives I'd have a little more respect for support of Ron Paul. But when you do this thing where you insist every view point Ron Paul has is perfect and he is not a politician but an infallible truth teller, you just sound like cult worshipers.

I've worked on many political campaigns and I know your type. You're a koolaid drinker. Don't worry, you're not alone. We've got plenty of them on the left too. When I worked on the Obama campaign I had to deal with them all the time.

On all the campaigns I've worked on I've wildly disagreed with the candidate on many issues. I just disagreed with them less than I did their competition. But that's not what most of the Ron Paul supporters seem to be like. You guys are fanatics that seem to agree with him 100% of the time no matter how absurd it is. I promise you, if you continue to support any politician like that you will be disappointed 100% of the time. And yes, Ron Paul is a politician. They all lie, they all hide their true motivations. There are no exceptions to that. FDR did it, Reagan did it, Lincoln did it, Clinton did it. Ron Paul is not an exception to that rule. There are no exceptions to that rule. You need to accept that fact.

View Ron Paul objectively. If you like most of his policies that's fine. But put down the koolaide and quit acting like he's some sort of deity. Yes, his trade policies favor multinational corporations especially the ones who keep their money off shore and import goods from places like east asia. Now you can argue so do Obama's trade policies and you'd be right about that. What you can't argue with any credibility is that Ron Paul's policies are all perfect in every way. That's insane and makes you sound like a cult follower.

This thread is separating the people who objectively support Ron Paul from the koolaide drinking cult fanatics. props for being objective.
