I noticed that a thread's title here mentions the "top runners" in the Presidential bid, but fails to mention Dr. Ron Paul. To insure that no one accuses AFF of not being a balanced forum, I started this thread.
Now, has anyone listened to Ron Paul's message? Can a man like Paul be elected today while running on a platform that includes doing away with income tax, the IRS, the Federal Reserve, and much of the US's foreign intervention? I’ve noticed that he is seldom mentioned by the news services, yet he often comes in first in the straw polls. He says that strong support will win him the electorate votes in the end.
In this recent
YAHOO INTERVIEW (scroll to the one that mentions Ron Paul), Paul talks about many of his more 'controversial' positions. These, he says, are his positions because they are in line with the US Constitution.
What do you think? Can Paul make it? What would the US be like if his policies made it to the White House?
