de-lurking... hi!
GOP, I am a 20-something, former... Nader-voter... that has been raised as a disenfranchised hippie child of the Reagan era. I am a new mom who is over-taxed, under-insured and seeking real change.
I support Ron Paul because I am tired of the "Washington machine" - I am tired of my liberties being compromised - The things I abhor the most are the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and the tired justifications supporting these conflicts.
Among many other things, Dr. Paul has offered coherent platforms on leaving Iraq, getting rid of the income tax and limiting governmental spending. He has promised to lower barriers to efficent health care. He has identified and spoken out against the current administrations' threat to Americans' civil libeties.
How can you not love this guy?!
There are quite a few of his ideas that I think are great.
I am not sure how being an isolationist would work.
How is he going to lower barriers to healthcare?
If he gets rid of the income tax and does not believe in a sales tax, how are the necessities going to be funded?
I certainly agree with him on the civil liberty position. I seem to be in the minority among my Republican friends but I hate the amount of stuff I have to go through now just to open a bank account.
