Ron Paul has consistently stood for small government, personal liberty, free markets and a sound dollar. He also has the quaint habit of using the US Constitution as his guide. If we had been following Dr. Paul's prescription for government, we would not be in the horrible mess we now find ourselves.
Ron Paul is the only candidate whose positions have not changed over the years, and his personal integrity is beyond reproach. He's a pro-life, pro-family values Christian who does not exploit his faith for political gain. He lives it!
Wes Messamore at The Humble Libertarian has made an excellent Ron Paul video. It's only one minute long. Please watch it.

Ron Paul is not anti-military and his foreign policy ideas are not dangerous; they echo the ideas of the founders. He is for a strong defense and secure borders. We are blowing too much money overseas and getting nothing but hatred in return. He believes in a strong military for National Defense, not global community organizing.
Please go to Ron Paul - National Defense, and read what he believes. There are two YouTube videos as well. You won't agree with everything he says, but you will find his views logically coherent and far from the danger his political foes claim they are.
