For example, Ron Paul opposed the government's power to force private businesses to stop discriminating. This doesn't mean Paul votes for racist policies, it means he doesn't support the government power to do everything that society deems "moral"- no matter how common sense they may be.

Given that he has voted for legislating to forcibly ban gay marriage and abortion, that conclusion is bullshit.

I can't speak for Jocabia, but I am saying that.

He asks what his country can do for him, not what he can do for his country.

I couldn't agree more. If there is one thing that Ron Paul does not support, it's common sense.

He is still in this race, he has A LOT more support than the msm is telling you, and brokered conventions have worked before. By the way, none of the delegates are bound.

Not wanting to listen to the rules of the country (taxes) means you don't respect the rules of the country. Someone who doesn't respect the rules of the country does not deserve to be leader of said country.

Obama and Romney love their country.

If you're willing to sell your country down the river in order to make more money, then you don't love your country.

If I'm married, and I hide my money from my wife and make her lose her job to get ahead in my own career, then I don't love my wife.

In fact, I'd argue, he also doesn't love his wife, while we're on the subject. No one who loves their spouse could be as insensitive toward them as he is.
