Sure!
1.) Return to the gold standard or other commodity based currency. (he thinks paper money is unconstitutional, hahahaha)
2.) Is against UHC. (
3.) Is a global warming denier.
4.) Is an evolution doubter.
5.) Is anti-abortion.
I could go on, but I don't feel like writing any more on someone who really doesn't matter.
Don't any of you RP supporters realize that if his ideas were so great, more people would support him? If they resonated with the majority of the populace he'd be in the lead. He's not.
Eskimopy:
Keep it simple yes or no:
Do you believe in states rights?
Do you believe in Smaller government?
Do you believe in more debt(spending) will get you out of debt?
Are you a fiscal conservative?
Do you believe in individual freedom to choose?
Do you believe debt is actually a hidden tax?
Sure!

why don't you take something from his plan to restore america instead of turning to the typical(and played out) hot button issues that have little relevance on the long term direction of the country.

No, not really. I don't care about states' rights.
This is a dumb question. Government should be smaller in some areas and larger in others. I do not believe in smaller government in the way you are talking about however, no. I believe in bigger government.
Yes, quality investment yields larger returns than doing nothing at all.
No. Fiscal conservatism would be catastrophic in our current economic circumstances. The fact that the House has forced what are effectively austerity programs on the US in recent months has severely damaged our economy.
Nonsense question. It depends on what you are choosing about. (notably, Ron Paul doesn't believe in your freedom to choose an abortion!)
It depends. Spending is fundamentally quite similar to taxation though, yes. I think that taxes in the US should be higher however, so I'm pretty ok with that.
You think return to a commodity based currency has little relevance? Trust me, in the middle of the economic catastrophe that would follow that you would think it was relevant. Also, UHC directly impacts not only my life, but everyone's life.
You might think that someone denying evolution and global warming isn't a big deal, but to me it shows that he allows ideology to overwhelm scientific evidence. (this is probably the source of his kooky economic views as well)

Obamacare is going to get slapped down by SCOTUS anyways so its irrelevant.
His plan to restore america said nothing about commodity based currency but you didn't even read it out of fear your liberal mind might be infected.
As far as evolution and global warming, they are issues that don't even appear on his website or plan to restore america, so I'm not sure why you would even cite them at all. irrelevant.
I'm not sure you understand what a scientific theory means. Your unwavering faith in this theory is worrisome. What if tomorrow some new scientific discovery was made and it debunked the theory of evolution, would you denounce your faith?
Well I'm glad you're now a constitutional scholar. You should probably tell all the legal experts about this, because their general consensus is that it will be upheld.
I don't care if his plan said anything about it, he has a long history of advocating for it and as we all know, he's no flip flopper! I know plenty about Ron Paul's views, they are pretty standard libertarian ones, and I share quite a few of his libertarian social views. His economic views are so catastrophically bad however that it really doesn't matter if his other policies involve making me the official US stripper inspector, I could never support someone so fundamentally ignorant.
Oh, and if you think denying global warming and evolution is irrelevant... uhmm... ok. I don't.
Abortion and Evolution shouldn't play a majority role in deciding who the " Leader " of our country is.
Which of the other candidates were warning people about the housing bubble and other financial catastrophes for the past 20+ years?

Calling a seasoned medical doctor ignorant is hilarious! Who are you? What have you done? Whats your education level? lulz(rhetorical questions by the wway, I know the answers)
printing more and more money is catastrophic, spending more than you have is catastrophic. Do you run your personal finances like that?
Please I'll ask one more time, if you want to debate issues, pull them from his provided plan to restore america. Choose a specific issue and refrain from simply saying subjective retorts like 'its retarded' or 'catastrophic.' Please elaborate on your belief. Feel free to cite references.

What was Mr Paul's best performance in any 2008 GOP Presidential Primary? What level of support do Mr Paul and or the Libertarians have in the US?
Is it possible the attention Mr Paul gets from the media reflects the actual support he has in the US?
They don't play a majority role, his other policies are bad enough all on their own. It's just the icing on the cake.
Ron Paul has been consistently predicting disaster for years. A stopped watch and all. His ideas for what caused the housing bubble (fannie and freddie) are incorrect and so I have no idea why he should be taken more seriously for predicting something with the wrong causal mechanism.
Ok, he wants to eliminate most of the foreign military bases, what happens if we need to be in a part of the world that we don't have immediate access to due to the fact that we no longer have a base there to provide a point for soldiers and equipment to be deployed effectively?
Yes, people who deny evolution are ignorant. It doesn't matter what their qualifications are. You almost certainly do not know my education level.
