If you don't agree with Ron Paul, it's because you've spent far less time studying the real implications and economic intricacies as he has. He's right on everything.

I agree with Ron Paul on economy more than any other candidate, but he's racist, anti-semite and a homophobe, or at least pretended to be one in order to get rich, which I find highly unlikely[1][2]. In my opinion, no matter how right on economy he is, we can't have someone like that as a president.

  Why yes, for example this quote from the Ron Paul Newsletter proves that's he's a filthy racist: But outside of a minuscule band of KKK members, there are few whose racism is the defining fact of their lives. Case closed! Ron Paul is a racist!

  Zavulon, why did you think he was rich? He's not. Why do you think he's pretending anything? He's not. Do you know the man, or are you just taking the easy path of buying into the hysteria? He's flawed but you certainly didn't mention his actual flaws, which means you don't know him, you've simply read about him. His worst crime is that he's homophobic on a personal level. But he's not one bit anti-gay on a philosophical level and he has gotten big endorsements from Andrew Sullivan and Dan Savage. So you've lost the anti-gay argument. And ditto for the other accusations. Please don't just be a part of the echo chamber. If you do, you're being rather easily manipulated, sorry.

  he's racist, anti-semite and a homophobe I don't believe that's true. But even if he were, the elegance of his philosophy is such that it renders him powerless to do anything about it. He wants to take power away from the presidency and the rest of the federal government. He's not looking for power to oppress somebody he doesn't like (or favor the corporations he does like). He wants to make it so that it's impossible to curry favor or harm on groups according to a politician's whim.

    unless you're a state politician. then he doesn't care what you do.

  That's a ridiculous position to take. He's not any of those things.

I'm hoping that was tongue-in-cheek.
