After a lot of researching about Ron Paul, I was very interested, and was planing on voting for him. Actually, I'm not sure yet, so I may after all (though I'm leaning towards Kucinich) - but I have one huge concern: Free-market.
I don't believe a "truly free market" amounts to anything positive for the average person. Free-markets = the possibilities for monopolies, and if there's one thing Rockefeller taught us, with price rising and price dropping to destroy competition, is that monopolies are neigh-impossible to topple. The result? Consumers are royally screwed.
My other critique of Dr. Paul is that, while I know his position on constitutionality, I also know what he thinks of abortion (human life begins at conception), meaning that it may be his only hypocritical move (in my opinion - I'm pro-choice).
Those of you who support Dr. Paul may benefit from researching Mike Gravel or Kucinich.
In any case, the more I think about what an unregulated free market would result in, the more I can't help but lose support for Dr. Paul.
