Both of these candidates are worse than the two from 2008... I don't think Rand Paul will even get nominated, though.
"He's nothing more than a fascist nutjob that want to control your personal life and keep making the rich even richer. "
Jeez, if that's Rand Paul, i'd hate to hear you describe non-libertarians. Ron Paul is in no way a neo-conservative, and would be the most libertarian president in history. He condemns all of the NSA's actions, domestically and internationally, opposes war, Guantanamo Bay, and indefinite detention, and supports the leakers like Edward Snowden. There's plenty of reason not to support him, but please inform yourself to at least a minor degree.
The U.S doesn't need to be sent back the 19th century. I don't think we should abolish the minimum wage, I don't think we should repeal Roe. V Wade, Christianity in public schools (like prayer), supporting offshore drilling, withdrawal from the U.N, he is a bigot (i know he says "the government shouldn't decide gay marriage but he's a bigot and dances around the question each time on whether or not he supports or rejects the notion of gay marriage being equal), privatizing educational systems so only the rich can be educated, he's against a universal healthcare (which is a human rights violation), proposed bills for school segregation, & he's a supporter of theocracy. Is that enough of a reason?
If you, I can link you the bills that he introduced about segregation & teacher led prayer, privatizing the education system other bills proving he's a theocratic government support, not a secularist.
Universal healthcare is a human right? According to who, the UN?! Don't make me laugh!
Yes to me and many other people having health is a human right; not a privilege of money. I'm not debating healthcare as a human right; I'm stating why I don't like him.
I do not know too much about him, but I know quite a bit about Hilary, and I do not support her.
And I don't see how having prayer in school is some how installing a theocratic government.
Health is not a right ( let alone healthcare) To say health is a right is to say sickness or death is some how violating our rights when really they are natural and unavoidable no matter how good our insurance is.
As I said, I'm not debating universal healthcare with you. I'm stating my reason why I don't like him.
