		<description>Read HOPE, by Aaron Zelman and L. Neil Smith, if you want a good look at a Paul presidency. 

http://www.jpfo.org/hope.htm

A couple of quotes:

&quot;From his office in the White House, President Hope labors to bring a swollen, murderous, runaway government under control by binding it &quot;with the chains of the Constitution&quot; -- an objective that would end at least 90% of all government activities -- while the enemies of liberty at both ends of the political spectrum (and within his own party, as well) attempt to obstruct, discredit, impeach, and even kill him.&quot;

&quot;See how one man drags a whole country, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century and makes it the century of the Bill of Rights. See how one man brings the grand ideas and ideals of the Founding Fathers back to life.&quot;</description>

		<description>lets think back to what w said his presidency would look like...less nation building, a humble foreign policy, less governement interference in our personal lives, more freedom, less taxes....all of this was 100% lies from the start.

So the one big difference I&#039;d expect to see in a Ron Paul presidency would be a honest administration...that alone would be mind blowingly refreshing. All the rest of the guys are full of shit...if you can&#039;t see that then you are full of shit.  Apologies to Kuccinich and Gravel, they seem honest but not quite as smart as Ron Paul.</description>

		<description>&quot;but ron paulâ€™s voting record seems to always favor anti-abortion. always. which is REALLY not very anti-big-government.  so screw him. thatâ€™s kind of a big thing.&quot;

Dan, you are wrong, plain and simple.  (So, screw you, too.) Paul is personally pro-life but he does not support a federal ban on abortion either.   His voting record reflects his refusal to give funding to abortion (or to make those who disagree with abortion pay for it through their taxes).  The federal govt should not decide, but each individual state should:  

http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul301.html

&quot;Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided, but not because the Supreme Court presumed to legalize abortion rather than ban it. Roe was wrongly decided because abortion simply is not a constitutional issue.&quot;

Paul does not believe in fighting the culture wars with laws:  

&quot;Those who seek a pro-life culture must accept that we will never persuade all 300 million Americans to agree with us. A pro-life culture can be built only from the ground up, person by person. For too long we have viewed the battle as purely political, but no political victory can change a degraded society. No Supreme Court ruling by itself can instill greater respect for life. And no Supreme Court justice can save our freedoms if we don&#039;t fight for them ourselves.&quot;

Lastly, you know what, people?  Abortion is not REALLY that big of a thing.  Compared to our terroristic foreign policy and irresponsible economic policy, which inflicts so much suffering on the living...abortion is going to be the issue you vote on?  are you fucking kidding me?</description>

		<description>Hi I think as president Ron Paul would do great things for this USA. I am so tired of voting for someone who says the right things then as soon as they are elected they do a 180. ROn Paul would get rid of the IRS, The dept of education which does nothing for us. People do not realize we did not use to have all these GOVT. run Depts 100 years ago some not even 60 years ago. We did just fine then we could do just fine now. He actually has a plan for things and does not get up and say i love my country and i support bush. If anyone who is running supports bush then there is no reason to vote for them. 
Ron paul is a man of honor and a man of his word. 
There would be no more UN no NWO
We would finally be rid of the dependence on foreign oil.
WE would never pay income taxes again. We should not have to. That is our right as a citizen to keep what we earn not give half of it away to the GOVT.

I have lots more but i ask that you visit this site and see what they have to say.

		<description>I think you would get:

1) an unprecedent number of interstate compacts,
2) an increase in charitable giving and non-for-profit organizations;
3) an appreciation of the USD;
4) repeal of the 16th Amendment;
5) a general decentralization of power.</description>

		<description>What would a Ron Paul presidency look like?

-It would be an administration that spent all its time working to repeal laws instead of passing new ones.

-The oval office would be far less important and wield far less power when President Paul retired from service</description>

		<description>Justin,

You seem to be laboring under the false assumption that party registration for the purpose of primary election is unchangable.

Here&#039;s a chance to do some real reporting.  Go to the voter reg place and ask some questions about who is registering for what party.  A whole lot of anti-war people are registering Republican.

A whole lot of pro-war republicans are mad as hell at the GOP&#039;s domestic spending (more money spent than drunken Democrat saliors could) and seeing as the war isn&#039;t going so hot anyway, they might just vote for someone who really intends to wield the veto pen.

Later.</description>

		<description>There will be a lot of vetoes but I think Ron Paul is a lot more of a pragmatist than people think, especially if he&#039;s governing from the highest office.   He has openly stated in interviews that he would indeed sign a bill that included unconstitutional social programs so long as it took money from something else and the net effect was reduced spending overall.

  He&#039;s a firm believer in the constitution but also a savvy politico and understands reality.    He doesn&#039;t get a lot of credit for this but it&#039;s worth pointing out when people suggest his policy&#039;s are unworkable.</description>

		<description>Thanks again for posting these articles Justin; it&#039;s great to have someone give Ron Paul some serious time and consideration, sometimes with some practical news that we might not want to hear, but by all means *need* to hear.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re saying the change would have to come from outside the system?  Not from within?  What are you talking about?  Outside the REPUBLIC?  Are you talking about us being invaded or attacked again?  Ron Paul is a rEVOLution and we are outsiders of the main stream media system and corporate buyout of politicians system if that&#039;s what you mean...Ron Paul rEVOLution is presently effecting a significant change and there will be more to come indeed, from WE THE PEOPLE inside the Republic and not from somewhere else.  I&#039;m not sure I understand your response here...you&#039;ve got my head spinning.  What were you trying to say?</description>
