Re: What is wrong with Ron Paul?

My opinion is that Ron Paul is good on the issue of illegal immigration, ok on economic issues and not so good on moral values. I do see him as one who personally believes in moral values but not as one who will fight for them. I agree to a point on alot of his economic stances but I think that he is too libertarian for my tastes (I believe that there should be some government regulation on the economy, although I do believe that ii should be limited). I love his stance on wanting to get rid of the problem of anchor babies, even though I know that in order to get rid of anchor babies we would have to amend the Constitution (14th amendment to be specific).

All in all, I do definitely respect the man (although I have a hard time respecting some of his zealots on occasion) and I do want him to be in office because I feel that he is doing a good job (one of the few I actually feel that about). He is at least consistent on his stances and will work for what he promises (although the problem comes in when I disagree with what he promises). I was looking into him as a potential candidate for my vote for president but after seeing some of his stances I've decided that he isn't the man for the job IMO.
