Ron Paul, in order to push an extremely right wing agenda, has decided to cloak it in anti war and anti war against drug platform. Superficially, it sounds so wonderful to have a President who is against war and who would end US militarism. Superficially, it sounds good to have a President who claims he would stop locking people away for drug use.
Until you pay attention to his domestic agenda. Paul is a strict late 18th century constitutionalist. Essentially, anything done by our government since then he opposes. Paul is opposed to the civil rights act, environmental regulations, and pretty much any business or government regulations. This is so anti government that you'd essentially have lawlessness. Businesses need laws and regulations in order to do business with each other, and other entities. Contracts that are signed have to be backed up by laws and enforced by the courts if need be. I don't think I need to get into the positive changes that took place because of the civil rights act and environmental laws.
In essence, Paul is far worse than a Bush or a Romney. If one must go Republican, pick a sane businessman.
