[QUOTE="BananaCat, post: 2119766, member: 62462"] The media clearly destroyed his campaign. If you think otherwise, you are ill-informed. I wasn't overly thrilled about Ron Paul. I don't agree with some of his conservative positions like pro-life. But, federal abortion policies aren't far up in my priority list. But, I was utterly disgusted at how he was treated by the GOP and the media. I think he was a better candidate than Romney or Obama. [MEDIA=youtube]keWX55SpYmU[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]6dKKIg9cRlk[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]llT5MA5pcIA[/MEDIA] Paul was a conservative for 40 years and libertarian for 10 years. Only two things I know of that makes him libertarian. 1) He isn't hawkish on foreign policy and interventionism like every single member of the GOP. 2) He had a health care plan other than "get sick and die". [MEDIA=youtube]-usmvYOPfco[/MEDIA] I think he was a good leader. His major flaw was being too rigid and uncompromising. Too much opposition in congress and nothing would have gotten passed. Paul and Sanders worked together to audit the Fed. Sanders ended up getting a watered down version to pass while Paul would have gotten nothing through. If people finally wake up and start electing honorable congressmen and women we'd see more and better changes. Just remember, the revolution will not be televised. Sorry about the long rants. I get so riled up about how friend'ed up our system is. [/QUOTE]
