In politics he's the equivalent of a GFY troll. He's just doing shit for attention even though its pointless.
As an example, the fed is an absolute waste of time. There is simply no alternative that makes any real sense at all. Sure they suck and haven't been doing things very well BUT reforming this current system is the only option, not replacing it entirely.
Ron Paul is nothing but an attention whore that has caught some headlines using some good ideas that he borrowed from other people. Just like the Obama healthcare plan is just Hillary's with minor tweaks and a better person delivering it.
For every GOOD thing Ron Paul is trying to do there's 2 absolutely nutty things.
While I agree our government is seriously fucked in a TON of ways Ron Paul is not somebody I'd follow into anything. Rewind shit a few elections and give me a guy like Ross Perot who had great ideas of reform BEFORE THERE WAS A REAL PROBLEM and thats a visionary.
Hopefully in 4 years we'll finally have a real alternative. Obama is bringing a ton of people false hope and even if he can deliver on 10% of his promises he'll be considered a major success. My problem with him is I don't believe a single thing he says. He's a damn good politician though and a good speaker. What he really believes in is totally up in the air. I believe he's about as trustworthy as that used car salesmen trying to sell you a flood car.
I believe Obama very well could be the FINAL US president. If he doesn't deliver I think that'll push us into the revolution that we need.
