Some of my local racing friends were discussing the Federal Reserve system and a few other inane things when somebody mentioned how super awsome Ron Paul is.

I googled his info and so far I like what I read. But I'm interested in other viewpoints from the PPOT brain trust.


A few talking points:

Constitutionalist
Opposes presidential autonomy
Rejects a welfare state / nanny state role for the federal government.

Says that the Republican Party has lost its commitment to limited government and has instead become the party of big government.

Regularly votes against almost all proposals for new government spending, initiatives, and taxes.

Unwillingness to vote for proposals not expressly authorized by the Constitution.

Supports states' rights, tighter border security, gun ownership, voluntary school prayer, and a return to free market health care.

Opposes the income tax, the federal War on Drugs, and foreign interventionism.

Advocates withdrawal from NATO and the United Nations.
