You know for all the dislike some on this board have for Ron Paul and son...you have to admit. They are one of the very very very very few politicians who are actually trying to protect basic American freedoms.
Here's where you're wrong, and it's where the anti-government hate by ron paul supporters is even more ridiculous. Right now the federal government is extremely fucked up. It's been getting worse and it's at a head for this generation. Ron Paul doesn't care about your rights, because he's fine with the states trampling them all they want. He's trying to protect states right, that's it. It's absolutely ludicrous to go on 'all governments are corrupt terrorists that want to kill you' rants then turn around and suggest the solution is trading one broken government for 50.
You know what electing Ron Paul will change in washington? Fuck all. He'll shut down helpful programs, and that'll be about it. The vast majority of the shit you hate about washington is coming from congress, and they're not about to give up their cash cows.
