Reply #35: Ron Paul? For Dems? [View All]

[LeftishBrit]

From what I know about him - and I did look him up in a number of places after reading so much about him here, he is EXTREMELY economically right-wing (more so than most Republicans); xenophobic (both in his attitude to immigrants and his attitudes to organizations like the UN and ICC); and anti-choice for women.

I have been strongly against the war from day one, and consider it an extremely important issue - that's why I joined this board; but I wouldn't support someone JUST because of their stance on the war. The British National Party is against the war. So is LePen. I'm not saying Paul is as right-wing as that; but it shows that people can be against the war, and still be dangerously right-wing on all other matters.
