YouTube of Ron Paul on Blitzer

Since I cant find a convenient "scorecard" on RP, I'll assume wiki is correct about these positions:

Letters of Marque and Reprisal against individual terrorists-tantamount to continuation of the Clinton policy to treat them as criminals, ignores their sources of funding and sanctuary-awful

Against Patriot Act - awful

Abolish Dept of Homeland Security - sure

For withdrawal from UN and other orgs that diminish US sovereignty - good

Against torture - depends on his definition of torture

Abuse of executive authority - that would change if he were ever elected

Free trade - good

Strong stance on illegals - good

Abolition of the Fed, Austrian economics, return to gold standard - disasterous

Taxes - good

Elimination of most cabinet departments - and do what with their responsibilities?

Eliminaton of electoral college but strengthen the role of states? Yeah-the big states, like Tx, at the expense of small states

Pro-life - who cares

Against capital punishment - bad

Gay rights - who cares

Health care relief - hows it going to be paid for?

Drug laws - he says its not a Federal issue..so is it a state issue? prohibition doesnt work...legalize? wiki isnt clear enough on his positions

So, on balance, he's a disaster on homeland security and defense and on economics; good on taxes and immigration; mixed on a bunch of extraneous garbage that are unlikely to ever change.

Theres a lot better out there.
