Now, just for clarity: I have no problem with Ron Paul. If he was the candidate, I would vote for him.

What in the hell does that mean? Just because hes not the favorite? So in your logic, your gonna vote for whoever is most popular, and has a higher chance of winning?
So your a "follow the crowd" type person?

No, I'm a "You can't elect a guy if he doesn't get nominated" type of guy. The Republican party will NEVER nominate this dude. EVER. The Democrat party would never nominate him either, because he talks about change that would have tons of consequences, but yet he doesn't talk about how to solve any of the consequences. For instance. You can't just get rid of the I.R.S. right now. It would not work. It'd put millions of people who live on food stamps and shit out on the street. So his idea is a flat tax. What happens if the money doesn't match what was collected before? You've got hundreds of politicians in Washington that can override any idea he has, good or bad, with a 2/3rds vote and you better bet your ass that 2/3rd's of washington wants the status quo.

well actually he doesnt want to replace the IRS with anything, but believes that the few people who are dependent on goverment will still do so but wont be permanent. And even if the income tax was elimianted we will still have the same revenues from 10 years ago, not to mention alot more money flowing into the economy
and yes you are right, most people in washighton want the status quo. its all about money and power for them.

So basically his platform is to end the IRS, even though it's the sole source of income for the U.S. government, and not replace it with anything? Yeah.... o.k. Let me know ho does with that!

It's not the sole source of income, The IRS makes up less than 1/2 of our tax revenue brah.

Trauma-san:
Hillary *creamed* Ron Paul tonight. Geesh. He got like 11% of the 80 or 90 thousand republicans that turned out, and Hillary got 29% of the 200 thousand democrats that turned out. It's time we get rid of these republicans (Ron Paul is a republican, by the way) in the white house!!!
VOTE HILLARY!!!! '08
Primo:
Trauma weren't you a neo-con a few years back. Now you embrase socialism. hmmmm. Paul got 11% in a very religious Iowa. Not too bad.
