Ron Paul: The Only One We Can Trust

I am not an american but if I was I would never vote for RP. His idea that the states themselves should decide on important issues like abortion is appaling to me. Should states decide on whether to bring back prayer in the schools? Replace evolution with creation? Outlaw homosexual relationships? The way I see it RP wants to turn back the clock in your country to pre-civil war time.

The truth may be that Ron Paul is trustworthy but because he is not part of the mainstream, his candidacy will fail.
we've seen this before. The left-right (red-blue) boiling bags are there for our consumption... to divide us. But the most basic truth is that the Republicans and the Democrats serve the same special interests so all the stuff that is said is only so that we fight amoungst ourselves.
Ron Paul may well be an outsider who is worthy but... as such, he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting into the white house. This country and the system is now owned... and not by We the People.

Every state SHOULD be allowed to decide it's own business. Then you can live where you want. We'd still be a nation of brothers and sisters just lettin' each be there own.

Great vid, S+F for you.
I am no american, but when i see this video i wish i was, so that i had a chance to vote for this brilliantly genuine man.
To all the americans even contemplating voting for someone else i want to say this: How can you guys be so stupid? What is wrong with you? Brainwashed?
Because he's casting an illusion when he talks about personal freedoms.
Because the Constitution isn't perfect.
Because the founding fathers were not gods, they were mortal men and guilty of much that would be considered crimes against humanity in modern times, and damn sure not deserving of worship.
Because he is ruled by his religion.
Because he wants to go backwards, things changed because they didn't work, and "freedom" and "liberty" didn't work out too well for all back then and it won't now.
Do things need to change? Absolutely! But, I don't want any part of Ron Pauls brand of change.
I'll take Progressive over Regressive, any day of the week.

How about some examples or proof to back up what he was proven wrong on and how he responded to it? You can say he did or didn't do this and that all day long but without context and sources, it is just talk. Talk Talk Talk...
