He has some shitty laws, but you are making one mistake. Not all of these issues are equal in their importance in the bigger picture.

For decades, the powers that be have used bullshit social issues to divide and conquer people. Get them to ignore what really matters, the vast money being stolen, the piles of skulls, the dreams shattered, etc, and get them squabbling about social and religious things.

To me, the wars, the millions in prison, and the banks' ownership of society, outweigh all other issues. Any one of them outweighs all social issues, because they are so huge.

Not to mention the utter abandonment of the constitution.

But Ron Paul is right on all three. He's not just right, he's the only presidential candidate in decades to seriously talk about them. And that is why, even if I wish he had some different views, I will have no hesitation voting for him.
