Which candidate would you choose? (Reps only)

Note: not enough space to include Bill Richardson in the "both reps and dems" poll.
Edit: Forget the "Reps only" in the title.

I would like Ron Paul to have a chance, but figure it will be Barack or Hillary--I'd rather Barack win, but I'll be voting whichever Democrat has the ticket, since the numbers will be there to support their win.
It has a chance! I invite you to join his campain! He need your help!

no problems there, here in Austin he is quite possible, many advocate for him at my church, and he by far has the most signs around the city on lawns...

Damn! He seems to be perfect on every issue!
I really couldn't ask for more in a President.

Austin is by no means typical for the Lone Star State - basically the Berkeley of Texas from what I can tell...'cept without the furries. As for Ron Paul, he has some simple answers for complex problems and people like to hear that - especially during troubled times - but nationally I don't think Ron Paul has a chance. At best he will be a spoiler for the Republican ticket. Honestly, I like some of the things he says but his attractiveness to conspiracy nuts, holocaust deniers, white supremicists, and pretty much every other wacko group out there, gives me pause.

These sorts of stats are the same everywhere you look online. Youtube, facebook,myspace etc etc etc. If the American Election were a global vote, there is no doubt Ron Paul would win.
He has my (Australian) vote.

There is nothing special about him specifically regardling lifespan extension, it is just his whole collection of policies. Basically he will get the federal government out of all of the things which it isn't needed in and let the free market take care of itself.
No more wars, no more foreign aid, no more federal reserve, no more dept. education, no more dept. of home defence, no more welfare etc. Suddenly you have a government with a shit load of expenses gone - therefore the need to tax people is almost lost.
The role of the government, as my understand of Ron Pauls overall principle, is to simply protect the states - so the federal government will provide a defence force and intelligence agencies to provide protection for 'The united states' - and then let the states run their own state without interference from the federal. It just makes sense.
It is, ironically enough, what America is supposed to be all about. Ron Paul is just the first person (in the last few hundred years anyway) who is actually going to do it. he is going to follow the USA constitution.
--------
So why do people support him so much, including immortalists? because you can be confident that he won't ban stem cell research, or any other research for that matter. Nor will he impede that research with stupid taxes. Research will be free to proceed. (Plus he is a doctor (Ob Gyn), not some moron creationist with no education)) He does believe some thing which I disagree with, but thanks to his perfect political principles, it doesn't matter what he believes - he won't impose them on anyone else.
What more can you want in a leader, but freedom?

I would have to say that all of this will, albeit indirectly, be very conducive to life extension in an enormous number of ways.
Also, isn't Ron Paul a Creationist?

Surprisingly the candidate that has got my attention the most is Barack Obama. I don't care for his politics because he's a democrat, but as a person I like him. If he ends up elected as president It would be the first time a democrat was elected that I didn't feel like I need to worry a lot about the future.
It's good to see there's not much support here for Hellary. She's the one that worries me the most.

*Subliminal Messages : Pick Ron Paul....Pick Ron Paul...*At this point I'll vote for either Barack Obama or Ron Paul. If neither of them is on the ballot I'll vote for whichever Democrat is on there. If they are both on the ballot I haven't decided which one I'll vote for yet.

He's a Doctor. Since when are educated people - particularly those educated in high level sciences - Creationists?I would have to say that all of this will, albeit indirectly, be very conducive to life extension in an enormous number of ways.
Also, isn't Ron Paul a Creationist?
He is anti abortion though (has a lot to do with lifetime career of delivering babies), but once again his beliefs are irrelevant when he imposes his political principles, because what he believes won't matter when the federal government pulls its nose out of everyone else's business.

Here is an interesting discussion about Ron Paul and his religious views.

He is a devout Christian by the way Aegist, so I can't see how he would not believe that an entity named God created everything.
Aegist 17 Dec 2007
Just as nearly every other christian on the face of the planet (minus american christians) believe that God created everything, and did so through evolution, it is quite likely that Ron Paul believes the same. Ever heard of Ken Miller? He was the primary witness for Evolution in the Dover School hearing (the one which absolutely ruled against Intelligent Design - the offspring of creationism) - he too is a devout catholic.Here is an interesting discussion about Ron Paul and his religious views.
