Aw boo hoo some Ron Paul-supporting coward got really mad at my previous post and gave me a negative reputation point. Communication a bit too much to ask for?

"Why do you believe that Ron Paul has terrible ideas, paragon?"
"What makes you say that, paragon?"
"I disagree with you but I am interested in what you have to say about this subject, paragon."

All acceptable responses.

Here's one dumb idea from Ron Paul - he wants to get rid of income tax. This is a terrible idea. Income taxes generate most of the government's revenues.
He wants the government out of our bedrooms but also wants bans on abortions (that's called a contradiction)
He wants the Gold Standard back - we got off the gold standard because it wasn't a good idea to be on it
Voted to ban adoptions by gay people in DC in 1999 - there is absolutely no reason for this
He wants scientific facts that support creationism to be presented in schools... I shouldn't have to tell you that this is a violation of the separation of church and state

"Q: Does the US have a role to play in ending the genocide in Darfur?
PAUL: The US government has no authority. There's no constitutional authority. There's no moral authority."
This is just wrong.

He wouldn't endorse the creation of a commission to monitor the eradication of slavery in Sudan, where the slavery of a man is legal.
He says that the US should not give foreign aid.
He is against our membership in the UN.
He sponsored bill invalidating International Criminal Court.
He said that the US spent $1 trillion on foreign operations every year. This number is wrong. It is actually $572 billion.
He thinks that every single US soldier overseas should return home. - Sticking our head in the sand will not help us Ron Paul.
He wants to eliminate the FBI and DHS

and so on and so on
