would cause more harm to the nation that can easily be pictured. He is, simply, out of touch with reality. Santorum would CAUSE tyranny. Romney is a run-of-the-mill GOP nebbish with no demonstrated understanding of the economy or much of anything else except his desire to be president. Gingrich is an overweight nebbish whose major talent is his worship of Newt Gingrich. To call President Obama a tyrant is to let poorly understood ideology blind you to even more poorly understood reality.

He has much more "demonstrated" ability than Obama does, even now. Romney, while Governor, was able to significantly reduce a Budget deficit for his state, and his private sector business career speaks for itself.
You obviously don't know or are very ill-informed about Romney's Political and Private History.

Dr Paul's more off beat ideas would never get through Congress but this discussion is about protecting us from tyranny and that is where Paul would excel. He would veto any bill that is unconstitutional and try to place judges that think the same way. Realy that is the biggest reason I prefer Paul over Romney. Come on people that is the most important job of and president protecting your rights. We have already seen what we get with Obama and I do not see the other Republicans caring about that most importent of duties.
Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.

I'll start with 3 tyrannical moves by Obama:
1. The edict President Barack Obama passed down on February 10th — that every health-care plan in America must pay for sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that cause abortions, is an act of tyranny.
2. President Obama’s lawless Jan. 4 installation of a new director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau goes to the heart of his loose interpretation of our Constitution. Mr. Obama’s actions show he believes checks and balance apply only to the other branches of government, not to him.
3. December 31, 2011: In a White House ceremony, he signed the infamous Military Commissions Act (MCA). It authorized torture as official policy. It also enacted sweeping unconstitutional powers to arrest, interrogate, and prosecute alleged terrorist suspects and collaborators (including US citizens), detain them (without evidence) indefinitely in military prisons, and deny them habeas and other constitutional protections. It lets presidents call anyone anywhere an "unlawful enemy combatant," order them arrested, detained and denied all rights.
