It is really strange. I don't agree with many of Ron Paul's political and economic ideologies, but I can't help liking the guy as "a person". I agree mainly with his anti-war and anti-interference stances, because we stick our noses many times into situations that we shouldn't be, and in the end make them worse, and hurt our economy doing so. Also some of his social stances I agree with. However, I don't agree with handing corporations a free ride to do anything they want to out of some misguided idea of freedom. Money talks. So in the end, as it is now actually mega corporations and banks "own" our congressmen and Senate, and at time the President. So what about the little people? They just continue to be crushed under foot. Kinda as they are now.
The Tea Party to me is "bat shit crazy". Pure Libertarianism isn't realistic any more than Communism is. I still believe that a hybrid system of econo-politics is being the answer. Ron Paul is a wonderful speaker, and if he could curb someone the crazy then he would be a viable candidate for President in 2012. Take some free market ideas mix them with social responsibility, and take a truly moderate stance. Balance is what this country needs desperately, and thus far we don't have a candidate that displays balance. We have far right fringe versus Barack Obama's "conservative concessionism". Neither are workable. Paul has a nice tone in his voice, but as long as he is willing to hand this country over the the top 1%, and the fringe he is an untouchable for me in 2012.
