I sense some similarity between Ron Paul and George. Both are outspoken critics of the war when their colleagues (or ex-colleagues) remain gun-ho.

Both seemed to be loved on the internet / grass-roots, but short-changed by the establishment/mass media.

There's no doubting he's a good speaker and clearly understands the ideas he's talking about, coming across as a genuine man, but he's still very much a conservative. His policies will see those at the top and the bottom receive less, which considering the vast amount of people living in poverty will only exacerbate that problem further.

I believe his policies will make the states more of a fortress in the long run, resulting in less of the freedom from government intervention that he says is his policy.

Coming from inside the "Republican" side clearly carries a stigma. His policy to abolish taxation goes against the socialist policies which I support in the UK to raise taxation for the higher earners.

I can't help feeling that in the US, the tax system is there to take from the poor, and give to the rich (such as the Military Industrial complex), with the richest paying the least taxes in % terms. Thus the cancellation of the tax system would actually keep the wealth with the poorest people.

Of-course it would be better to cancel the tax system for the poorest, and keep it for the higher earners.

He'll turn the United States into a sweatshop. He'll cut subsidies to public services and privitise everything. He's the most free-market worshipping capitalist bastard in the whole Presidential race.

George replied to a texter last night who mentioned Ron Paul's stand against the war.

The texter was saying he supported Ron Paul's views on pulling back from the wars even though he had little (=no) chance of winning.

I didn't listen. What did George say?

I just saw this video and I must admit I was impressed (the sound goes out of sync after a few minutes though)
