I doubt they'll let him get any air time on the US domesticated media.
He comes across as a decent man, something I rarely say about politicians.

[TOAD6147]

AFAICS, he's the only Republican hopefull with his head srewed on straight and can talk common sense without regurgitating party line. If my only choice was any Republican I would vote for him based soley on his reparte' on our involvement in Iraq.

[Atomic Rooster]

As much as I like his views, he will never be elected president because of these:

Quote:

* Rights belong to individuals, not groups.
* Property should be owned by people, not government.
* All voluntary associations should be permissible -- economic and social.
* The government's monetary role is to maintain the integrity of the monetary unit, not participate in fraud.
* Government exists to protect liberty, not to redistribute wealth or to grant special privileges.
* The lives and actions of people are their own responsibility, not the government's.

They go against everything the libs stand for.

Damn...I'm speechless.

You'll probably have to stop watching the networks and find a new media outlet if you want to hear about him. The Machine isn't a big fan of his.

He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

• War and Foreign Policy
  The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. (more...)

• Border Security and Immigration Reform
  The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked. This is my six point plan: (more...)

• Privacy and Personal Liberty
  The biggest threat to your privacy is the government. We must drastically limit the ability of government to collect and store data regarding citizens’ personal matters. (more...)

• Property Rights and Eminent Domain
  We must stop special interests from violating property rights and literally driving families from their homes, farms and ranches. (more...)
