I think Ron explains it pretty well, take a look, it's only $13. Basically the only way that Obama and McCain differ is in the way that they will waste our money. They will each pick different ways to run the country into the ground. Neither of them is proposing any kind of significant change which is what we actually need.
The Revolution: A Manifesto
Here is a great place to start:

you can find it here.
I've been doing something similar with my dad. I've managed to drag him about halfway from staunch Republican to ideologically libertarian. The project continues. (I'm hoping the process will accelerate when my copy of The Revolution arrives.)
Why we end up spending twice as much? Thank you. That is the real issue. The answer isn't what bernie thinks though. The answer is government enforced monopolies of HMOs and pharmaceutical companies.

The timing of this development is interesting, as Ron Paul addresses the move to corn syrup from sugar in his latest book. Specifically, he talks about the corruption and incentive to deal with it.
I won't spoil it for you any further, but suffice it to say that this article is a bit more interesting to me because of the history of which I'm now aware. Ron Paul '08?
Thanks, I just ordered the book.
This is an example of intentionally selective representation of his support in order to portray those the actually defend constitutional governance as "wackos".
Doug Mataconis has spent a inordinate amount of time and effort into advance a dishonest portrayal of Ron Paul and of his followers.
It is starting to have the appearance that Doug is being paid to to smear Ron Paul and the freedom movement that has ignited.
Today, it is widely acknowledged that Barry Goldwaters' failed candidacy for President in 1964 marked the beginning of a movement that culminated in the ascendancy to power of the GOP.
Ron Paul's support comes from those that truly desire to save this country from imploding upon itself due to a unsustainable empire building as a well as an unsustainable, no matter how well meaning it may be, welfare system and a corrupted to the monetary system intentionally designed to steal the wealth of the poor and middle classes in favor of the wealthy and politically well connected.
Barry Goldwater, Jr. has a new book:

Ron Paul's new book is now available:

Ronald Reagan's famous nominating speech for Barry Goldwater shows that Ron Paul's ideas represent true conservative values:

>He will actually honor his oath of office (to defend and protect the U.S. Constitution) via a strict constructionist/Jeffersonian interpretation
It's worth noting, of course, that every President honors the oath of office to protect and defend the constitution according to their interpretation of what the constitution means. To say Ron Paul is different in this regard is to claim that his interpretation is somehow "more right" than others, which is debatable at best.
So, the irony is that from my perspective, Ron Paul would not be honoring his oath of office by writing laws to make it impossible to bring federal suit over state violations of privacy, equal protection, or religious freedm. So, let's stop this whole "he's great because he'll actually protect the constitution" crap, when the entire argument is whether we agree with his interpretation of the constitution.

If you want to know what a man believes, don't listen to what he writes as a way of garnering support for himself. Look for what he does. Look at the laws he's written. Look at the causes he's championed. Ron Paul doesn't stand for anything close to individual liberty; he stands for state power, plain and simple.
All of Ron Paul's views can be found in this book, which he wrote.
Reading this book will clear up anything that "someone told you" or "you heard on the news", because it is his own work. I wish more people would do some reading before just accepting biased opinions from unqualified people.
I wish the other candidates had books that outlined all their views.
Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate with a consistent voting record. I honestly believe if elected, he will do what he says he will. I can't say this for any other candidates, R or D. He will actually honor his oath of office (to defend and protect the U.S. Constitution) via a strict constructionist/Jeffersonian interpretation. He will drastically reduce the size of the federal government starting with the executive branch (the only branch he actually has authority to act over) and urge congress to do the same for the areas they have authority over.
I've only known about Ron Paul for about 3 years, but in that time my politically philosophy has been turned on it's head (well, I really had NO political philosophy prior). In that same time frame, I have seen his support grow by leaps and bounds. I'm very encouraged by what I'm seeing as this campaign gets into gear, and the political data that's been coming in.

I hope this helps.
Palin is no longer relevant. I think she was probably somewhat of a good political move for McCain, but Presidential candidate? No thanks.
We need someone who will bring real change -- get rid of/severely cut income taxes, stop policing the world (see: blowback), get rid of needless spending, and really cut the size of government. I hope Ron Paul runs in 2012.
If you're interested in freedom, prosperity, and peace, try to find this book at your local library. A short read but straight and to the point.
