Are there any issues you disagree with Paul on?

I disagreed with him during his 2011 CPAC speech when he mentioned a 10% flat tax with the option to 'opt out' of government programs. I don't want to pay any income tax to government. If I'm opting out of government programs, I don't want to pay for someone else's benefit.

He was trying to come up with a way to balance the budget and pay off obligations already incurred, defense, courts, etc. but he ended up with a better plan, the Plan to Restore America. He was looking for feedback and clearly got some.
 
Just the usual an-cap objections. But... Ron Paul's greatest influences were an-cap, including the man who coined the phrase. So, I'm happy to get most of the way there.

Also (and this is coming from an ignostic) anyone who purports to know for certain to what degree man has influenced global climate change, or exactly how an amoeba becomes a pterodactyl, is frankly blowing smoke up your... ahem, jumping to conclusions.
 
Immigration and free trade.

My views have evolved into a form of economic nationalism, so I'm not thrilled about free trade. I do appreciate the fact that his is anti-WTO and has voted against most free trade agreements.

Even though I think his stance on birthright citizenship should be lauded, I'm definitely much tougher on immigration, both legal and illegal.
 
1. Evolution
2. The border (free markets mean open borders to me, using state violence to solve any problem goes against Paul's libertarian/free market principles)
 
I don't agree with his position on 9/11. The first time he ran I almost stopped supporting him over his views on 9/11 truthers. I continued supporting him because he wants to end the Fed which would end the power behind the 9/11 attacks and their power over America.

Evolution isn't a policy...

..And to answer the OP's question, no.. I agree with the doc on absolutely everything.

I understand that even if he was a truther (which there is no proof that he is), he couldn't say so on the campaign trail because it would ruin him. So I don't hold it against him in any way shape or form. You don't have to be a truther to be pro-peace :)
 
I disagree with Ron Paul on Immigration. I support an open border policy, which I believe to be more libertarian.

I'm also pro-choice on abortion, and pro-gay marriage.

Most other things I agree with RP on. I believe strongly in evolution, but I don't see how that's a policy issue.

Yes we saw what happened with Debra Medina on the Glen Beck show when she talked about 9/11. They went after her and we got stuck with Rick Perry for another term as governor of Texas. I'm still mad about that.
 
I support paul i even voted for him in my state but im wondering what areas people here disagree with him on. For me personally:
1. Doesn't believe in Global warming.

Global warming is real. Just ask ManBearPig! If Ron Paul doesn't believe in Global warning, that is a problem, I'm serial!

Actually, I likely disagree with Ron Paul on hundreds of issues. For example, I really enjoy wearing gray shirts. I rarely see Paul in a gray shirt! I like playing Street Fighter II. I've never once heard Paul mentioned Street Fighter II! I get the impression that Paul is a biker. Not me, I'm a hiker.
