Any Ron Paul supporters in the house?
Okay, I have to admit although I am always on the internet… I don’t like the excessive negativity that surrounds the usual daily news coverage, so, I avoid t.v., radio, etc. If I happen to notice an interesting topic when I am signing in to my e-mail, it’s gets a click, but that’s about it. Since I have been living in my own world, I never heard anything about Ron Paul.
Well, to my surprise a few days ago while looking up some information about alternative medicine, codex, raw, supplements, etc. I came across someone mentioning him in a forum. I followed the forum discussion and it read something like, you’re wasting your time. The only people that will vote for him are health nuts and another group that I choose not to include in this thread.
Now, I don’t know about you but since going raw, I have been called many of things by friends and family… and they all seem to fit into that category of “health nut.” So, I asked myself, “Why haven’t I seen anything about this on the sites I’ve been frequenting?” So, today I went on here and did a forum search and only 2 posts popped up mentioning “Ron Paul” in them.
I know people try to be PC and avoid talking politics, religion, etc. But I am looking for more information, so, that I can make an educated decision on my presidential vote.
I decided to post this on this site because, I feel it could directly impact a lot of the natural health issues and alternative ways of thinking that are shared and discussed on this forum.
This thread is not meant to start conflict. I simply was wondering what your stand is on Ron Paul and/or the other 2008 Presidential candidates? Thank you.

Screw Ron Paul. Skizzy, you got it right. He is a complete racist, homophobe, and anti-woman.Mtnflwr, If you are concerned with taking America back to a time of less government, then I would suggest you start from the place of no laws, no government and no capitalism. As far as Dennis Kucinich concerned, I really would like to believe he could/ would do all the things he promises. History however has shown me that 1) people who seem to have good intentions but also want power, screw everyone over. 2) people who really do have good intentions dont win in presidential elections, they usually get incarcerted or killed. Kucinich also supported Obama, who wants to further imperialism by bombing Iran.
So whats the solution? Don’t vote. Vote with a brick, or if your not that type, vote by planting a tree. To those of you who already want to respond with the ever played out “if you dont vote you cant complain” argument all I can say is by continuing the charade of voting, you are the one preventing change. You keep the system and support the oppressors.
I like freedom, choices, and power to the people….that also means less taxes.
I like Ron Paul based solely upon hearing/watching him speak.
There is not another canidate that excites me currently as much as Paul.
I applaud you TEADE on reading those links for yourself and forming what seems to be a fair and honest opinion.
When I hear Paul talk…I don’t hear his voice…I hear the opportunity for US to make the choice…
Thank you for ALL your opinions and information to help me research where my presidential vote for this primary is going. I think the fact that after reading and learning about Ron Paul, I am driven to actually vote in this election speaks volumes. I will continue to listen to all and to the candidates before I cast my vote. Thanks again all!
Sorry, I was MIA after I started this thread. I was out of town for my birthday. ;o)
This may sound awful but I don’t believe the US has a democracy. After Bush became president it was made clear to me.
My approach to politics is to take charge of my own life, to the point where I don’t need a government and hopefully become an inspiration to others in the process. What is no longer needed, fades away.
This is why I eat raw.
