Ron Paul: http://www.ronpaul2008.com/

.... I think so. Whoever becomes the next U.S. President would be of interest to Canadians. Ron Paul rejects NAFTA and the North American Union. My man. NAFTA is a real insult to the American and Canadian people... It's not like we had a say in it. It was just imposed by the corporate elite.

We are talking issues here. I don't agree with him on everything but he pushes my buttons. Guns... lots of guns.... for everybody. Less government, less war and foreign involvement.... my man.

I am old enough to have a little bit of wisdom now... and I firmly believe the the American government is out of control, dysfunctional, non-functional, gone postal. If we can't install Paul as president. at least I will have something to vote for, instead of against. Better then opting out altogether. Bush has been a Jimmy Carter style disaster. Both Republicans and Democrats are equally inept. When Nancy Pelosi and the Dems took control of the House a year ago.... they thought they were going to run the country and make big changes.... well they did squat.

Mainly, Ron Paul stands for individual liberty. So, I guess that those who think he is an eccentric outlyer think that liberty is a quaint notion also.

Too bad Canada doesn't have a Ron Paul clone, no?

It's very easy to reject the NAU since it doesn't exist nor are there plans for it. It's like rejecting the tooth fairy.

Yes... and who would have ever thought a "European Union" was a possibility?

[sandorski]

NAFTA is ultimately good for Canada.

AGW doesn't exist either but rejecting it has been a real trial.

Exactly. There was no EU planned when the ECM started.

(Or was there?)

[Ruxpercnd]

Now. I would think Canadians would appreciate the isolationists views of Ron Paul. Besides John McCain, Ron Paul is about the only guy that would take aim at the military-industrial complex.

However, Ron Paul wants to severly lower income taxes. And, I know how much Canadians like heavy taxation. So, I guess there is a difference.

Even though Ron Paul is running as a Republican and being ignored by the Republican Party, it is my hope that he will run as an independent.

Probably the people who had open and honest plans for it. It didn't suddenly pop up, causing the people to panic in the streets because their sovereignty had vanished overnight. Democratically-elected governments chose to join it and stay in it.

Every time I see anything about "The North American Union," it's in conjunction with evil backroom plots to burn currency and take away liberties. If it ever comes anywhere near fruition, every election will be a referendum on it, and with the current climate I suspect the "anti-union" party would win in both the US and Canada.

If the NAU happens, we will know about it for years beforehand as the leaders bicker back and forth about details. We'll also know because we'll be electing a "North American Parliament" or similar body.

The reason Ron Paul gets so much money is because the only people who could afford and would benefit from his presidency are the wealthy. I've never met a poor Libertarian.

[Ruxpercnd]

I am a poor Libertarian. Well... at least I am not rich.

I would love to be able to start a business without being hit with a million tax forms and tons of regulations. I would like to kill off our ineffective, amoralistic federally controlled school system. I would like to remove our troops from overseas, including Korea and Germany (I really think they can defend themselves). I would like to remove any reference to race from any laws, school regs, college admission rules.

Nail illegal immigrants to the wall, including employers and churches who commit crimes related to illegals. Catholic archbishops who insist members should violate the law should be charged with conspiracy and racketeeriing. I believe that Ron Paul's position on Illegal Immigration is simply that it should be stopped. So, I guess I have a little more vengence in mind.

You don't have to be rich to be disgusted with the criminality and disgusting behavior of pandering "lawmakers" and others who suckle off of taxpayer money.

I believe that supporters of Ron Paul come from both the left and the right in a rare nexus of common sense. Rich people don't put together a campaign almost entirely by way of internet postings, blogs and myspace pages. Ha!

[dog77_1999]

He is my canidate. I don't like alot of his platforms, but I think he will do what is needed to save America from financial chaos. I also think that we don't need to have such a large military presence in the world if all it is going to do is piss people off. Keep that our troops and our money home.

Easier said than done when you have a president that will rabidly veto ANYTHING he deems wrong. Most presidents, even the bumbling ones had a sense of give and take for the common good. Not Dubya, his idea of give and take is you give, he take. Now had a different kind of Republican been in office, yeah, the Democrats would have gotten more done.

Or could it be that they may like some or most of his ideas but are wise enough to realize that BECAUSE America is run for profit by the big profiteers that all his grand ideas (while great for both the USA and Canada) will not make him anything more than a VP hopefull to a sell-out president who's being advised to attatch himself or herself to someone whom the people trust in hopes that trust rubs on their presidency...

Wow! You have quite strong beliefs for an idea that while complete fantasy in your eyes is actually having the framework being put into place as we speak. I don't know if the North American Union will be as evil or detrimental as they claim it will be. It might just be as bureocratically annoying as the EU and in a red-tape, taxes sort of way, yeah, evil. But I think what you are claiming is sort of like saying a house isn't going up next door even though the carpenters, the supplies of wood and sheet rock, the plumbers and the electricians are on site.

Something is happening. You have to admit that much. We may not know now what it is and we may not be allowed to know but something IS happening. A candidate like Ron Paul, he won't fit into those plans very well and that's one big reason he won't be elected.

[Ruxpercnd]

For you Americans who might respect Ron Paul's ideas but know that he isn't about to get the Republican nomination (That would be like throwing water on a witch.):

- Please consider using the write-in function on your ballot to register a protest vote. Write in Ron Paul's name or your own name. Just let the tax thieves in the D and R parties know you don't buy their BS. Of course it wouldn't be a protest vote if you agreed with him on the issues.


They have no vision, they have no wisdom, they probaby never look at the Constitution. The people who run the two parties are tired old hags who think about nothing but stealing money. That is the bottom line period.

Paul would make Jimmy Carter look like Abe Lincoln.

Ron Paul? You can't possibly be serious.

Do you have any proof whatsoever? Please note that the SPP and NAFTA are not that.

You know what? Jimmy Carter should have been a Canadian. I think he would have been a better fit up North.

However, look at Ron Paul's policies. Would he not make America more palatable for Canadians? Less aggressive foreign policy, etc.
