Way overdue. But, I don't even have to look at the positions on "issues" and what Ron Paul stands for to decide I will be casting my vote elsewhere. I prefer that the #1 CEO job in the world, heading largest organization (that I know of) anywhere be someone who has actually RUN something besides a medical practice, a campaign, and a Congressional office staff. Jeeez, is that too much to ask? Sometimes I think it is, sadly. I’m all for breaking outside the typical Demublican “career politician” party-insider mode. Way overdue.

Notice how completely and utterly vague Joel's post is. It does nothing to address Paul's real stand on the issues. While he says he doesn't want the <b>federal</b> government involved in the issues dear to social conservatives' hearts he has no problem with the states trampling on people's rights to live their lives in their own ways. Banning abortion? Fine. Banning stem cell research? Fine. Eliminating gay rights? It's OK with Mr. Paul. He wants a government so small that it might as well not exist by modern standards. No controls on bad products, fraud or worker safety at the federal level. Virtually every federal government department except defense and justice should be shut down in his belief system. There are those who say that this doesn't matter. They say that he's too pragmatic to actually try to accomplish these things because of the opposition he'd face. How inane is it to vote for someone in spite of his views on the issues of the day? What kind of logic is it to vote for someone not because of what he believes about the government that you are voting for him to lead but what you think he'd settle for? I would think that one of the things we've learned from the Bush Administration is that the President can do more without going through congress to cripple agencies from doing their job than people thought. All he has to do is put the "right" people in place. Put someone in charge of the EPA who doesn't believe in pollution regulation. Make certain that the head of OSHA is someone who thinks that if workers think their job isn't safe they should just quit and find something else and quit whining about how they can't do it because they're paid so little that they live from pay check to pay check. Yep, what the President believe most definitely affects the nation no matter what the make up of congress. And don't forget, all you Democrats and Independents who are going ga-ga for Ron Paul, some of what he wants is most definitely what the more extreme Republicans want in many areas so he can find allies. Quit listening to the Ron Paul fanatics and google Paul's name and whatever policy areas you are concerned about and see what you find. Don't stop at the first articles either. Dig for it.

“Leadership”

Leadership is Action Through *Example Not Position…

(It is not a position of power nor being in the right place at the right time, neither define leadership).

It is defined by setting the example through taking action on such Leadership Traits as Truthfulness! Honesty! Fidelity!

Ron Paul Has Acted Admirably On All These Leadership Traits:

“Truthfulness� first and foremost… Then: Principle, Integrity, Honesty,* Fidelity (to their oaths), Honor, Virtue, Compassion, Courage, Vision, Wisdom and Faith.

DARE TO COMPARE

Can anyone bring forth any other candidate (GOP or DEM, etc.) that can lay claim to all of these characteristics?

I believe we are all hard pressed to do so… “Strike Thatâ€Â?. I “KNOW” we ARE hard pressed!
