I like a lot of things he stands for, but he loses me on his drug policy, his military policies and the last thing is, is he is just another politician.
Case in point: In an interview with Tim Russert, Ron Paul was asked about his pork barrel spending. Ron said, "I have never Voted for any pork barrel spending" (here is where the politician comes out). This statement is true, but there is more to the truth that he doesn't tell you.
Ron would load up a bill, that he knew was going to pass no matter how he voted, with pork projects for his district in TX. Then he would vote no for the bill, and the bill would pass, and the money (pork) went to his district. (This may explain how he has gotten re-elected for all these years)
This is the biggest reason why I can't vote for him, (unless he is running against Obama).
He has been a congressman for over 20 years.
He is a Rhino and he has to go, even as a congressman.
