But, there are other thing about him that couldn't get me to vote for him, even though he'd be good for my bottom line.

If anyone earns the title "most fiscally conservative candidate" it has to be him. As a 10-term Congressman, he's had the chance to prove that he doesn't just say he'll defend the Constitution -- he's consistently voted in line with it his entire political career. What that's amounted to is voting against almost all government spending and consistently voting against tax increases. Plus, he understands economics in a way that few of the other candidates do. He understands that interfering with the market through the Federal Reserve only promotes bad financial choices and delays the inevitable consequences of those choices. Mild corrections turn into major recessions. And that's bad for everybody. So I think he would be the best choice, for our pocketbooks and for our liberty. I’d have to go with Ron Paul.
