My response. I didn't get past opening paragraph on the first go around:
Ron Paul is not crazy! Is he crazy because he acts differently than other DC politicians? For instance, Paul gives back part of his salary each year, he is not enrolled in the congressional retirement plan (which allows members to keep full retirement and health benefits after 5 years), and he has never taken a junket according to public records.
I don't think that's crazy. I think that's an example of a politician following their principles and sticking to their guns...so good for him. If sticking to principles in your private life and voting records, even when they are unpopular, is a bad thing then we need more craziness in DC. I thought what we had now was crazy (massive deficits, bailouts, government ownership, gigantic unfunded promises of SS and Medicare...not to mention a society crumbling at the foundation).
If only you had some more faith in the idea of freedom for ALL members of the human race, perhaps you would see Ron Paul's free-market policies as a welcoming sign of the next stage of political evolution. An evolution to where we don't let federal government programs and departments inefficiently waste our tax dollars.
PS: Republicans suck too and Glen Beck is a weirdo
