    The Constitution protects people's rights and freedom. Ron Paul protects the Constitution. Enough said.

    "Let's creep thru the frozen isle and think one thought, trick the bridesmaid to get her to take it off, she'll pull the mushroom out, unzip the windflap and love and you can't go wroooooong." ~ That is all.

    Hey Hollander. You forgot to reference the daily show and Colbert report since that's where you get your "news". PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT VOTE If you aren't well informed and let's face it, most of you aren't.

    Ron Paul might have a good view point for video games, but he is bat shit crazy on most other subjects. Please don't just support him because he is pro free speech. He is also anti-public education, and has prehistoric views on economics *cough* gold standard *cough*. But all the candidates have problems. This is a very informative article, but picking a candidate on one issue is really stupid.

    The Constitution is not bat shit crazy, and neither is Ron Paul. The man is sensible on all issues. The Federal Reserve System, on the other hand, is bat shit crazy in its approach of printing unlimited money (precisely because of the lack of the gold standard) and screwing up the whole economy. A limited government will direct the wealth back to the people, allowing everything to improve in quality, including education.

    No, it means instead of the government taxing you, you pay private businesses for everything. I love the one about the private sector policing itself. Take away all the regulations the private sector has been trying get around for years and suddenly they all become angels. right. The reality is that is that in the very unlikely event Ron Paul became President he would do nothing he says he wants to do. Congress won't let him. A Ron Paul Presidency is a pipe dream folks, Libertarian ideas always sound great until you dig a little deeper, then it get scary.

    Didn't GR already post this a while ago? Anyways always nice to see it being brought up

    OH NO RON PAUL SUPPORTERS, RUN FOR THE HILLS AND GRAB YOUR PROPAGANDA SHIELDS

    Flying dildos LMAO

    "Or get angry and assume that we intentionally left it out for political reasons or because we have an agenda and call us names, if you'd rather do that. " Well I could mention that Ron Paul got the shortest blurb out of the story... just like how he gets the shortest blurb on every other media source in existence... which kinda sticks to the claims that he's been getting a "media blackout" of sorts for years now... its just funny it trickles down so far as to a video game website.

  • yonderTheGreat - February 27, 2012 4:46 p.m.

    He gets the "shortest blurb" (which is longer than Perry's) because there's so little to object with. The persecuted victim mentality of Paul supporters might be the most annoying thing about Paul.

  • babyhenchy1 - January 27, 2012 8:49 p.m.

    Well all the candidates pretty much suck and it's not just their stances on video games.

  • Japanaman - January 27, 2012 11:23 a.m.

    I want a President who enjoys video games in the White House (During breaks, not during Office Hours; and on Air Force One)

  • ClusterShart - January 27, 2012 10:09 a.m.

    Please don't vote for Ron Paul.

  • Crowbar_Abortion - January 27, 2012 5:46 p.m.

    RON PAUL 2012!

  • tofu666 - January 29, 2012 3:13 a.m.

    Who do you suggest then?

  • newgames128 - January 26, 2012 4:56 p.m.

    Seems Ron Paul is the most level-headed out of them all. He probably understands more about electronic media in general than any of these other fools, yet doesn't speak his mind on it nearly as much. God I am so sick of uninformed politicians flapping their jaws about this topic. By now it should be clear to anyone how uninformed they are, to the point where a coherent sentence on the subject is a near miracle on their part.

  • Clervy - January 26, 2012 3:53 p.m.

    Well this is for one a good article. It is rare for any media to say anything about Ron Paul. Your inclusion of all presidential candidates is great. Information is the best. However an additional bit of information against President Obama is missing. As of October 1 2011 he Signed a bill that is WORSE then SOPA/PIPA. He bypassed congress to sign the bill as well. It effectivly gives China the ability to sensor the internet. This tells me that he isn't in favor of what the public wants, much less the gaming community. I really recomend reading the information yourself, it is scary stuff. http://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-signs-global-internet-treaty-worse-than-sopa.html Let's keep the Creativity coming and get rid of censorship! Go Ron Paul!

  • INSURGENCYmusic - January 26, 2012 11:11 a.m.

    Wow, Great Article (sarcasm). Really, great Job here (sarcasm). I don't understand, Ron Paul is the only candidate who is for freedom of speech in videogames and no regulations. Why didn't you guys pull up the Interview he did on G4. He did 2 interviews on G4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqF7v9Zlo7c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqN9IVhjr9A You should have wrote more about ron pauls record. Instead of your love letter to obama. Ron Paul is THE Video Game Candidate. Next time, Hollander Cooper, do your job, and do some research buddy.
