Once in a great while we get a politician who is more than just a demagogue. And when they come you can't help but support them. I have been asked several times in the past few days why I like Ron Paul. I will try to briefly explain just a few of the points.
1. Ron Paul does not participate in the pension plan set up for the congress. It is a breath of fresh air to see a politician who is performing his work as a civil SERVICE.
2. Just like King Benjamin he worked while in office (as a doctor).
3. He understands Economics. He got involved in politics AFTER he started studying Austrian Economics. He has pictures of Friedrich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and Ludwig von Mises hanging in his office.
4. He wants to give basic freedoms back to the state and local governments.
5. He wants peace! "We should be an example to other countries, we want them to follow are example but we should never force it through a barrel of a gun"
6. He wants to get rid of the IRS, Department of Education, Department of Energy, CIA, Medicare, and Medicaid to name a few.
7. He loves his country. And he spent 5 years in the military fighting for it.
8. He is sponsored by the people, not special interest groups. (he raised 4.3 million in one day from 35,000 "small donors")
9. He loves free markets
10. He trust us!
