Ron Paul would be the greatest president this country has ever had. I voted yes. Ron Paul 2012 :thumbsup:
 
I voted "not sure", but then considering what has been in office the last 10 years and what is currently running, I am not sure about my vote in this poll. I am not sure how to define "fit" as it doesn't seem that much is needed to be the president nowadays.

How, exactly, would he be the greatest ever?

His economic policies would return us to the 19th century. Returning to the gold standard would almost instantly destroy our ability to be an effective export country, it would open us up further to countries depreciating their currencies and flooding our country with cheap goods, it would instantly trigger huge amounts of wealth redistribution to the upper classes, inevitably triggering riots and/or revolution.

His definition of "rights" would return us to the 19th century. Gays, women and african americans (as well as other minorities) would suffer huge setbacks in rights. More riots/revolutions.

What I don't understand is what was so fucking great about the 19th century? Does anybody even know how much life sucked then?

We have achieved *HUGE* strides in making and keeping this country as the best in the world. We have problems but reverting back to 100+ years ago isn't the way to solve problems, it's hearkening back to what never really was. In the 99 years since the Federal Reserve was created we went from a country barely on the world stage to the greatest economic superpower on the planet. In the last 100 years we have improved the rights, health, wealth of every person in this country.

What the fuck is so appealing to reverting back?

No, we don't need radicals who would be very damaging and undermine all kinds of rights for people - even while he did some other things better than other politicians.

If he weren't so bad on so much, it'd be tempting to have him for one term just for some house cleaning on some policies.
 
Yes, as schneiderguy said, he'd be the best President ever. Even better than John Tyler.

It looks like he's going to be our next President because he has more delegates than the others from Iowa. The MSM doesn't want you to know that though, but his campaign has been on the phone with more pledged delegates from Iowa than was reported by the MSM.

Obama is a lot better at undermining rights for all kinds of people than Dr. Paul is.

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather a few States be tyrannical than the whole union.
 
I don't see why he's any more or less fit than any of the other candidates. Since all of the other candidates are unfit, he's thus unfit too.
 
I voted yes. He is fit to be President, even if I disagree with some of his positions. Like mono said, he is leaps and bounds above Pres. Bush-lite (aka Obama).

Your admiration for the executive skills of Warren G. Harding and John Tyler imply that you value incompetence above all else in a president.

Is this also the motive for your support for Dr. Paul?

your obama greatly lowered the bar for president. He can't run on his record. It's so bad even his inner circle won't mention it. It's going to be a scorched earth negative campaign for your obama. He has no choice.

No, and they weren't incompetent.

Just because they weren't unitary executives doesn't mean they were incompetent.
