okay so this is the first post this board has seen in a while, so I will make it a relitivly important one. what do you all think of ron paul? so far Im actually leaning twords this guy much more than guliani, whom exploited the firefighters on 9/11, and considering my mom is a firefighter, I could never vote for anybody that would do that. Ron Paul would keep taxes and government spending as low as he possibly could, get the hell out of iraq, but do it in a safe way, get rid of the patriot act, which I also am actually against now because more constitutionally protected actions have been infringed upon following the release of this act (freedom of assembly especially), and basically not do things because it would go along with what his party does, but just do what makes sense. he ran under libretarian in '88, but he has shifted to republican this time around simply becuse he would be more likely to win. you can find more info on him here www.ronpaul2008.com/

Yeah, out of everybody he is probably my favorite. Also, he proposes to completely get rid of federal income tax which is awesome. It's about time the government has to pay their own debts instead of the citizens.

Guliani will probably take the primaries over him though... shame, but if he wins it, that'll be awesome.

seems like an interesting candidate. the "war" has to end and the patriot act has to go, but im not sure about income tax. the government needs money.

But the majority of your money that goes to the government in the form of Fed. Income Tax goes to pay off the interest on the money that the government has borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank (a privately owned bank.) That doesn't seem right to me.
