The media are paying zero attention to him. My guess is they don't think he's moderate enough to win -- and since he used to be a Libertarian I'd say they're probably right. I respect and agree with a lot of what Libertarians have to offer ideologically, but I don't think anyone with that background has a chance to win in this political climate.<BR/><BR/>Paul's views on prayer in school scare me, and contrary to what his propaganda on YouTube and his website indicate, his voting record reveals him as a hypocrite (just like very other Washington politician) -- he claims to support legislation that is only explicitly authorized by the constitution, but would seek to ban abortion and adoption rights for homosexuals. The constitution doesn't mention either one.

Senator Ron Paul is the only Republican who has never wavered from his stance regarding the war. check him out on YouTube. He is the most intelligent politician I have heard in a long time. And he is the reason that I have switched political parties. In fact, Halis's whole family has switched due to this man. He is worth getting to know :)<BR/>Love,<BR/>JodiJodi Renshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046016863610666614noreply@blogger.com
