Ron Paul Critique

[guartz]

These are a few reasons why I think Ron Paul is not a good candidate for presidency. This critique is comprised of my opinions.

1. The man has what seems like a contradiction with libertarian non-aggression principle in regards to "illegal immigration". Which is a core philosophy of libertarianism. Although I can't really be sure of what his stance is on those people who decide to move from place to place*, which coincidently leads me to the next topic.

2. Like all candidates, the man is very vague. Less vague then some, to be fair.

3. This one is closely tied to #2. How the hell does he expect to end all those government bureaucracies? There is just too much special interest tied into them. If you're a Joe Schmoe on government salary with phat benefits, you're not just gonna let it go with a shrug and "oh well, it's for the best" attitude. They won't let it happen, but if he manages it, he is gonna have to employ the national guard to quell the protests. Or does he think yanking out the funding for it by nulling the fed will kinda snap everything into place?

*Not an act of aggression.


I'd still vote for him, though. Do you guys have any other good critiques of Ron P. ?

Let slip the dogs of Flame Wars!


edit: some grammah, damn I'm tired. Also confused the dancing monkey. Woot.

I think he's not a good candidate because noone cares about him, and he won't get any votes.

Is that circular logic?

When I see your topics I feel like suicide bombing something, that's a valid human response right?

Obviously, but isn't this fun? No?

Mabey he will pave the way to a libertarian candidate after our next president fails just as hard as bush.

That's a really nice thought, but never gonna happen.

The reason a lot of govt agencies wont get disbanded is because of the special interests group we call americans.

Yeah, we americans love wasting money on bureaucracies and inefficient organizations.

i still haven't gotten past the fact that he's a creationist, and seeing the amount of coverage on the web, it's baffling why anyone would vote for a creationist. that's like asking an accountant who doesn't believe in negative numbers to do your taxes.

the last thing americans need is a creationist running the country. more here, http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... 29204.html

The idea here is, even if he believes dinosaurs were placed there by satan to fool us, the executive office or the federal government has no authority to make you believe likewise.

still, it's explicitly an bad example to have a president who is a creationist and believes that men and dinosaurs walked together and that the earth is 6000 years old. the christian fundamentalists in Kansas must be thrilled to see it happen. either way, he doesn't have a chance in the upcoming primaries despite the amount of web coverage he's gotten.

So we destroy things that help americans instead of improve them?

Nothx

[guartz]

It's true, he has no chance. Especially now since abc and fox dropped him from debates.

But as far as religion, heh, I say it's good to have a little fear of God when in control of 10,000 nukes. lol

Yup. You are absolutely right Maxx. Let's keep throwing money at them, eventually it will improve.
