The discussion centers around Ron Paul's surprising victory at the CPAC straw poll, where he garnered significant support from younger conservatives, indicating a shift towards libertarian ideals within the conservative movement. Participants express mixed feelings about Paul's candidacy, with some praising his consistency and appeal to liberty, while others criticize him as impractical and question the legitimacy of the poll due to the influence of his dedicated followers. Comparisons are made between Paul and other prominent figures like Sarah Palin, with many asserting that Paul is more qualified and level-headed. The conversation also touches on the broader implications for the Republican Party, suggesting that a focus on libertarian principles could reshape future candidates. Overall, the thread reflects a growing divide in conservative ideology and the potential for change within the party.

I like Ron Paul...no really...

Libertarians are sure interesting...Legalize Prostitution, Pot, and get rid of CIA... who can go wrong with that. But he is a novelty when all said and done.

He is like Kansas. You hear about it once in a while, but you never wanne go there for a visit.

The true power of the people lies within our government, which is of the people, by the people, and for the people. This is the best way in which we the people exert our power over greed and corruption that is inherent to big business.
greed and corruption are inherent in government too, if not more so than big businesses (who receivied benefits and subsidies from the government) , because government is not really held accountable for their actions when compared to business, since for example , if congress has an approval rating of 11 percent ,members of congress would likely get elected again But if say the CEO at Disney hires a CEO that wants to market Porn to kids rather crappy sounded boybands, kids and parents would probably highly dispproved of this actions and stop buying disney products in droves and therefore they would be out of business or they or fired the CEO conducting this action.(or possibly they would try to appeal to the single male population and entirely do away with the kiddie market ). Thats an example of accountability
