I support Ron Paul because I agree with his philosophies on almost every count (they seem very similar to yours, for example, with regard to maintaining the Republic as it was instated by the constitution) although I will concede I don't like the corporate globalist trend and I'm not sure how a free economy can curb the evil in that. I'd be interested to hear a debate between the two sides of this issue.Duane Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018718028789144349noreply@blogger.com
