Why is he insane? because he's not afraid to cut the budget where it's needed? because he wants to bring troops home not only in war torn areas but from all bases worldwide? because he knows the Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional institution which has been held up by unjust taxes and printing money? Where is he insane? He stands up with more credibility than any other candidate and he gets the most support from American troops than any other Presidential candidate combined.
Making $500 billion in cuts will not balance a 1.1 trillion dollar deficit, much less pay back the $14 trillion in debt we have racked up. He says he plans on eliminating income taxes. That's great, but what is that going to do to the deficit? If we abolish the IRS & income tax, that means the government is going to have to get it by other means. Instead of taking taxes from a fair amount based on how much people make, the gov't is going to increase sales tax. In simpler terms, he wants to benefit the rich.
2nd Point: I agree with this point, the architects of the war completely misjudged the cost and extend of the adventure. Like everyone, I am concerned with the US military making a presence in the world.
3rd Point: Much of the opposition to the Fed comes from a basic misunderstanding of how it operates and essentially certain libertarians (like Ron Paul) like the idea of going back to the 19th century and stuff gold bricks under us every time it seems the banks are going to be on the run. Yes, those bankstahs are plotting in the fedquarter everyday on how to put your children into debt slavery!
4rd Point: He has become a frontrunner; I blame the faltering campaigns of Cain and Perry.
He wants to end our UN membership. The wolrd hates us enough as it is, and he wants to further isolate our country? How may he accomplish this you ask? By borrowing Bush's strategy of implementing fears. He ultimately blames the UN for getting us into Iraq. As far as I know, we attacked Iraq before the UN even decided if should of attacked.
He wants school led prayers and believes neither the federal government or state government should intervene. Jesus for our national mascot?

Joe, Ron Paul is not your typical Republican. Have you looked at his views and stances on issues and policies? At heart, Ron Paul is a Libertarian. Some might even consider him an Anarcho-Capitalist, but the only one who truly knows...is Ron Paul and he's about the last of the honest and consistent politicians in Washington.
Of all the Republicans in the 2012 campaign, he's the least insane.
...Just kidding, he's batshit insane too.
I am interested to know now your insight on his views and political positions. Will you enlighten us my friend?
