like the Dept of Education and the EPA...., get rid of Social Security and Medicare, and let folks die in the streets if they don't have health care.....

Do you recommend that Pres. Obama support those things too in order to get their votes? Cause Paul supporters aren't 2 issue voters, I don't think...and if they are, then they are more stupid than I have yet given them credit for.

the issues I put out are what most liberals agree with, and I don't think the other issues you mentioned register with most of his supporters. Just my opinion.
Edit:I am not advocating for Paul, but some of his shit is correct. For the outrage challenged: I am not voting for him nor do I support him.

Monied interests don't want drugs to be legalized, therefore Obama won't support legalization. That's what you get with a corporatist like Obama.
