I think you're very, very wrong on this issue. I respect your support of Paul, but don't let your support blind you to the important issues. Paul is against the writers strike, as you pointed out. And it's a CRUCIAL strike.
What a lot of people don't understand is how big this is for the economy. The television and movie industry make up about 14-17% of our country's GDP. We don't actually MAKE anything anymore, we are a service industry nation. One of the very few things we get paid for is selling television and movies overseas.
Paul is right on ONE issue (the war) and wrong on essentially everything else.
And, he IS a part of the "corporate camp" -- in fact, that's his entire platform. Decrease health care, decease public education, and hand more control over to the corporations who will provide these services at a higher cost. Paul's policies help Christian millionaires and very few others.
