I consider Ron Paul to be one of the most predictable candidates ever to run for President, and I love that about him. If you were to give me any scenario or possible legislation, I think I can predict with 80-90% accuracy what his position on the subject would be. Can you say that about your candidate? I can’t describe how refreshing that is, and how much it helps when campaigning on his behalf.
I am not saying that I can predict what Dr. Paul’s personal feelings on the subject might be, but the great thing is that I don’t have to. All I need is a copy of the Constitution and I can determine what his position will be. Because he understands the basic tenet of liberty, that just because I would choose a certain way does not mean that I have any right to make you choose that way. The Constitution spells out exactly what powers the federal government has. In most instances where I don’t guess correctly it’ll probably be because he has some other Constitution reason I had not thought of to say so.
That is just another of the reasons that I have chosen to participate to this much greater degree in the electoral process. Every election I have been aware of I was hoping someone would be saying the things that Ron Paul is saying now. But they never would. I’m looking for complete and total honesty and openness. Like the live ticker on his site showing how much he has raised. Like his willingness to state what his true position is and how the Constitution brought him to that position. You will often hear the other candidates embracing the Constitution on a topic when it lines up with the popular position. But when the Constitution gets in the way of their popular position it’s suddenly out of date and quaint. You don’t get that response from Ron Paul.
