I voted for Ron Paul yesterday. I love his desire to get the country and the government back to its Constitutional foundations. I love that he is so different that the other candidates and the way he answers questions during debates, i.e., referring to the constitution.
In the final Republican debate in California prior to Super Tuesday, a question was posed to all the candidates regarding what they would do with regards to the military and the economy. Romney answered first, and then McCain. Both talked a bit about stimulating the economy in one way or another and a bit about how they viewed the military. Ron Paul then said essentially that the Constitution does in fact grant the President of the United States the responsibility as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces but no where does it say anything about the President, or the government at all, being in charge of or responsible for the economy. Why does everyone think that the government is supposed to do stuff to "save" or "prop up" the economy. The economy should be in the hands of the people and the businesses of the country.
Well, I know liberty according to Ron Paul will not make it far in this election, but I sure love his ideas.
