Ron Paul

Raul Pauls website.

He is basically a classic conservative, but not a modern republican by any means. VERY anti war. Very anti government. Very against high taxes. Very against public health care (He is a doctor) And wants nothing to do with the taking away of anyones rights. He also believes that our military forces shouldn't be anywhere except in our own country. For more on his stances political stances, you can refer to this page on his website for his own claims.

H.R. 3216 would authorize the president to issue letters of marque and reprisal, naming private sources who can capture or kill our enemies. This method works in conjunction with our military efforts, creating an incentive for people on the ground close to bin Laden to kill or capture him and his associates. Letters of marque are especially suited to fight against individuals who can melt into the civilian population or hide in remote areas.

You support a candidate that would reintroduce letters of the marque?

Well, I dont know about support him. But he asked who he was. So I told him what I knew, informed Wolfbane about him, and sited my sources. As far as support, well I dont know if I did quite that. (Even though the youtube video was very supportive)

As far as the letters, I know what they are, but I really dont know quite enough about them to really know what kind of impact that would be. Maybe its my time to learn?

I'd be all for that. My first act after he was elected would be to buy a nice yacht and apply for one! One good cruise and it's paid for!

Baggss for President!!

Wouldn't the fact that there would be a major competitor (the government) of private health care drive prices downwards and make those businesses strive for better care for their customers? Maybe I am wrong?

You'd think so, but my rather brief experience with socialized medicine pretty much proved to be a lesson in inefficiency and waste.
