When was the last time Dr. Paul practiced medicine?
early 90's i believe
that’s right! Can’t we all just get together and focus on our real enemies: monogamous gays and stem cells… - Ned Flanders
It is terrifying when you are too stupid to know who is dumb
- Joe Rogan
perhaps you're right...maybe the "end the fed" and "get the gov't out our lives" has grown old to me...
I guess I'm just not buying what paul is peddling...
fair enough, I understand how it can get old to people. I could go into a long post about how deficit spending, war, and an ever increasing federal reach has grown old to me but I think you know that already
If you aren't buying it that is cool, hopefully you get out there and support someone who fits what you want, we all need to get involved, no matter who we support

i didn't mean that to sound like I am assuming you aren't supporting someone, just that I hope you are

I agree with you last statement wholeheartedly...
To me, Paul is a libertarian running as a republican...
This line from the debate struck a cord with me:
"So most of the things to improve the environment is getting the government out of the way and enforce contract laws and enforce bankruptcy laws"
i.e., get gov't out of the way (the way of what, I'm not sure of) but allow the gov't to enforce these laws that he seems to like...
he seems to like gov't involvement only when it suits him...
edit: also, I do find it interesting that Ron is not planning on releasing his tax returns...what's he hiding... :twisted:

Ummm...isn't that the case for everyone?
maybe...
I guess for me, I understand that I won't always agree with the gov't, but I understand the role of it...I just find it ironic for someone who has built his platform on "getting he gov't out our lives" to then seek to have gov't involvement...

enforcing property/individual rights is part of the governments function as per the constitution.
he isn't for anarchy. Being for limited government isn't an all or nothing proposition. He just wants a constitutionally limited government. Plenty to disagree with him about, but not a whole lot of inconsistency from him.

Just thinking out loud here.....but my guess is that there are a lot more people that would support a 3rd party this time around, since practically everybody is sick of Democrats AND Republicans.
Also, keep in mind that Paul has a big Democrat fan base as well and that is not necessarily showing in the primaries.....
A third party run would allow him to directly debate Mitt and Obama, and I think people would flock to him after considerable TV time all three candidates. The media won't be able to just ignore him once there are only 3 people left.
