I find it funny how people make fun of republicans, and treat Ron Paul like a god, and he is one of the more extreme republicans.......

Those aren't real republicans. They are meant to conserve- hence conservatives. Therefore they should be sticking to the roots of the constitution, but they don't. He does, and people like him for it. Just because you dislike a group doesn't mean there aren't exceptions though. The world isn't black and white.

This is why I supported Gary Johnson he was the best candidate by far, he had the small government views like Ron Paul but didn't have the other extreme beliefs Paul did. Johnson was a true libertarian but he was the Libertarian candidate so you know we got like 1% of the vote again.

I voted for Gary Johnson as well! However, even though Paul had some serious views, he always said that if he were to be president, he wouldn't be poking his head in and messing around with people's personal decisions, like marriage and drug use. He once said in an interview after some guy asked him his position on gay marriage, something like "It doesn't matter! My opinion should in no way effect how the people of America choose to go about their lives." Gary Johnson is a bit safer, and now that he and Paul have inspired such a revolution, maybe we could finally have some actual change in the next couple of years, regardless of which president.

i was staring at the ballot, deciding between obama and gary, when it occured to me that obamas candidacy was being sold the same way as his internvention in the economy. we bailed out the banks so the banking system wouldnt collapse, supposedly averting a worse disaster. and people i knew were saying "if romney wins we're screwed". but obama isnt a good president, hes mediocre at best and at worse basically follows bush directly. and i couldnt vote for obama because he himself has become too big to fail. well fuck that I dont like this attitude of choosing the lesser evil, besides the consolation prise is getting to say "well I voted for johnson".  "who?"   
   
   
- TLDR michelles ass is too big to fail

My only issue is that people are associating those kind of views with Ron Paul when those have been the stances of the Libertarian party for a long time, Paul is a smart man but he isn't the golden god alot of people on FJ think he is.

What I really like is all the people on here shouting Ron Paul yet completely ignore the guy who went into his state with debt left with a billion surplus, fixed numerous state problems, pro choice, pro gay marriage, small government, reasonable and is known for compromising with others on issues, he really was a great candidate just a shame he never got news time even though his head was actually on straight.
