Ron Paul wants to legalize pot and shut down the Federal Reserve. He thinks the federal government has no authority to outlaw abortion, no business bombing Iran to keep it from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and no justification to print money unless it’s backed up by gold bars.
And he might win the Iowa caucuses.
The closer the first votes of the 2012 presidential campaign get, the more competitive the Texas congressman has become. It’s a moment his famously fervent supporters have longed for. Plenty of others are asking: What’s Ron Paul about, again?
As in his two prior quixotic campaigns for president, Paul has toiled for months as a fringe candidate best known for staking out libertarian positions. As every other Republican candidate lined up to attack President Barack Obama’s health care law and to promise tax cuts, Paul again demanded audits of the Federal Reserve and a return to the gold standard.
Leading in some state polls, Paul is getting a look from mainstream voters in Iowa, where the 76-year-old obstetrician has emerged as a serious contender in the Jan. 3 caucuses — and in other early voting states, should he pull off a victory.

It gets more and more difficult for the media to find things wrong with Dr. Paul. His views are the same now as they were in 1976. The main stream American is liking and understanding his views. Less government, no more policemen of the world, fewer and less taxes, less government intervention in our daily lives are all resonating with Americans of all stripes and colors. He is the chosen commander-in-chief of the military.
This is the only nation in the world where the military has a say in their choice of leader. And they have chosen Congressman Ron Paul of Texas.
I’ll take Paul, his foreign policy stance and views on drug legalization over big government globalist traitors like Rino Romney, Council on Foreign Relations Gingrich or Bilderberg Perry. I prefer Bachmann or Santorum but the treasonous left-wing media will not give them the time of day or just flat out demonizes them. Ron Paul is the ONLY threat to the globalist criminal syndicate who has a chance to win.. He will definitely do what needs to be done to put an end to the corruption and re-institute the Constitution…regardless of what anyone thinks about anything he stands for.
He also thinks the federal government doesn’t have the authority to use your tax dollars to pay for someone else’s abortion. He was among the first to sign the Susan B. Anthony pledge to work for the repeal of Roe v Wade and to not appoint any pro abortion cabinet members. What people seem to miss about Dr. Paul is that – if it aint in the constitution, he’s agin it. Real simple.If you just use that one simple rule you’re going to be on the right side of the law every time. That’s because the constitution IS the law of the land, and all the unconstitutional bills passed by the congress and Potus are simply crimes against the republic. Very simple.
