I realize Ron Paul is the internet darling now, and I can see why. There is a lot to like about so many of his positions. Here is, personally, why he wouldn't be getting my vote.

The Constitutional is not the be all end all to everything we do in this nation. It's a framework. It's a fantastic one, but there is more to what we as a nation must be than the Constitution.

When I think of Ron Paul and his beliefs on limited taxation and small government, I ask myself...

With Ron Paul as President, would we have intervened in WWI? WWII? Would we have even attempted space travel? Would we have established Social Security? (Sure its a mess now, but it has been a massive success). Would we have the interstate highway system we have now? Would we have so many of the things that have helped this country thrive, and make me so proud of it overall, even if at times I'm not? With Ron Paul as President, would this country be able to dream, to think big? I'd wager not. That's what really gets me about that guy, even though I like a lot of what he's saying.
