    Ron Paul...

    seems like an honest an sincere guy. However, his economic policies would take us straight back to the 1890s. None of his campaign's math on abolishing the income tax adds up, and sales taxes are horribly regressive anyway. Not to mention the fact that he's stridently anti-abortion, which doesn't jive with the rest of his libertarian rhetoric. Furthermore, his supporters border on cultlike. They remind of the Lyndon LaRouche people. Watch how many of them are going to come on this thread, rant about North American Union conspiracies and loudly attack anyone who disagrees with Dr. Paul or his policies.
