I found this on infowars; wanted to show this with you guys. It is really nice. Though it makes him look like Tarkin. What do you think. (about the picture; not Ron Paul's chances/etc but if you want to go ahead and tell me anyway)
Nice Ron Paul picture (Star Wars reference)

Libertarian-leaning Republican representative, and candidate for the GOP presidential nomination. One of the few Republicans to vote against the Patriot Act and the Iraq war, and the only Republican presidential candidate to openly argue that American foreign policy instigated 9/11 and that the US should rethink it's interventionist policies. In the past, he once ran for President as the Libertarian candidate.Dartzap wrote:Whose this fellow then?
As a libertarian many of his views wouldn't jive with those of this board, and he also holds many socially conservative views (i.e, he's pro life) but he's by far the least offensive of the candidates vying for the GOP nomination (and also happens to be trailing most of the pack). I personally wouldn't compare him to Tarkin though.

Actually I saw some of his campaign signs in rural Illinois south of Interstate 80 after the Bishop Ford Expressway ends and becomes a US route. Anyway he raised more money than McCainMasami von Weizegger wrote:Last time I was in Chicago, Ron Paul was a bit of a joke and not without reason, I suppose.

ditto; I was wondering about thatI'm wondering if the Tarkin-esque look is not deliberate.
I knew about his "pro-life" stance; but IIRC his platform is basically the regular libertarian freedom small-government idea.Ma Deuce wrote:snip
While he personally opposes abortion, it seems his political position is to let the states regulate it one way or another within their own jurisdictions, which fits into the rest of his ultra-small government/libertarian platform.Zed Snardbody wrote:Pro life libertarian.......
