Re: Ron Paul speaks against SOPA
#2This morning I woke up with an idea to find out what the different presidential hopefuls have said about SOPA. Sadly, this one was the only one I could find...the only one I thought I could guess his stance on.

#3This is unsurprising. Ron Paul is generally against new legislation.

#4What is great about Ron Paul's stance is that I am confident based on his continual display of principled politics that if elected he would stand by this. Who cares what the other candidates are tickling our ears with. Paul is the only one who I feel would actually stand up to the Movie Industry.

As a British person I don't know much about American politics but I often see this Ron Paul guy turn up in discussions about politics in general.
He seems to a hero to many people including those who aren't the stereotypical republican voters. I have to admit I don't quite understand his appeal, his position seems to always just be to oppose any new legislation on government involvement in anything. His position always seems to basically boil down. "let the free market decide" or "let the individual states decide"
At least he appears consistent in what he says and I'm not necessarily saying he is even wrong about anything in particular. But let's say he was elected president , I can't see him actually doing anything (some might argue this is what the president should be). Let's say there was a national disaster of some kind, what would he do? Just say "we the federal government would help but we would just mess it up , let the free market create a solution"?

IIRC Mr. Paul was a minoritary candidate in last elections. Please, people from the USA, Could you tell what has changed? Or is Iowa special?

If he became president, you'd likely see him close down many government functions and make strong pushes towards states rights and small federal government.
He is a hero to many because he holds stances that are antiwar and, generally, pro-individual liberty.
I must say that I would be scared of a Paul presidency but I also love the way he's shaken up the republican party.

He says "no" a lot because the federal gov't has become way too bloated. There already is a free market solution to your scenario - it's called "insurance".
