What I Like
1. Love his fiscal policy
2. Love his views on the role of government
3. Agree with him pretty much down the line on domestic matters with only a couple of minor disagreements.
What I Don't Like
1. Strongly disagree with his view on the wars, and his foreign policy views in general
That said, I'll vote for him if I truly believe he can beat Obama.
My Concerns
1. I'm afraid of what will happen in our current environment if the public is exposed to libertarian viewpoints
2. I'm afraid of what the press will do to his views
3. I'm afraid that if elected what he'll do will be so unpopular he'll be impeached
4. I'm afraid a Paul presidency might effectively kill the libertarian movement in this country
I honestly, truly, and without malice think that it's impossible for him to win the Republican primary, mainly because of the voters
I have strong doubts if he can win the general election, given that when the public hears his views they may completely freak out.
Being the most anti-socialist candidate ever, I'm afraid of what the press will do to discredit him, which would again harm freedom
I don't think most Americans want liberty taken neat.
So, in other words, I hate Ron Paul, I'm a mindless elephant-sniffer, and I let Fox News and Rush Limbaugh do my thinking for me.
