95. Then you need to be at Freeperland. He's a complete racist, sexist, anti-choice
conservative whose only opposition to the invasion of Iraq was that it spent his tax money. The only personal liberties he wants to protect are his own, and his foreign policy is as wacky as Bush's, minus only the support for an occasional war.

And unless you've bought into the "Hillary wants to ban flag burning and video games" nonsense the right keeps spewing at us, I don't know why you'd think she was worse than Paul.

Some Ron Paul quotes for your misguided enjoyment:

“If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably-fleet-footed they can be.”

“Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.”

“Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty and the end of welfare and affirmative action.”

“The Criminals who terrorize our cities - in riots and on every non-riot day - are not exclusively young black males, but they largely are. As children they are trained to hate whites, to believe that white oppression is responsible for all black ills, to fight the power, to steal and loot as much money from the white enemy as possible. Anything is justified against The Man.’”

“There is no such thing as a hate crime.”

I am opposed to any form of government health insurance<\b> as I am opposed to the taxes, regulations, licensing requirements, and monopolistic practices, which keep health costs higher than their true market value.”

“Something must be done to phase out the government’s involvement in Social Security. Pension and annuity plans should be the concern of the people, not the government. Political control of these things will lead only to bankruptcy and misery for retired persons.”

As for Social Security, "we didn't have it until 1935," Paul says. "I mean, do you read stories about how many people were laying in the streets and dying and didn't have medical treatment? …Prices were low and the country was productive and families took care of themselves and churches built hospitals and there was no starvation."

“Immigrants can spread diseases for which we may have no immunity. There is also the question of crime and culture. Many immigrants come from countries with different legal structures and are not willing to behave in the way we expect American citizens to behave.”

"Is bailing out people that chose to live on the coastline a proper function of the federal government?” he asks. “Why do people in Arizona have to be robbed in order to support the people on the coast?" (Note--Ron Paul's district is partly on the Texas coast.)

If that's what you support, you are not a liberal, and if you can make ANY argument that Hillary is worse than that, you are not sane.
