I believe in the last election, Ron Paul had joined with me in my stand on these issues,
and I was grateful that he gave voice and national attention to them.
On other issues, I strongly OPPOSE his positions,
and those are big enough to prevent me from ever Voting FOR, Endorsing, or supporting him in any way.
I would love to take the above issues,
and combine them with FDR's Economic Bill of Rights!
Now THAT is a Political party I could get excited about.
I really don't have any personal feelings about Ron Paul one way or the other,
beyond my evaluation that he is an honest man, sincerely dedicated to his beliefs,
who will do exactly what he says without equivocation.
That is much MORE than I can say for most politicians.
