Ron Paul is.

Disallowing for the past two years - and the possible disappointment with Obama during that time - would you have voted for Ron Paul over Obama?

Or, would you have stuck with Obama?

For those of you who would've supported Romney over Obama, do you think Ron Paul would've made a better candidate regardless?

Well, since Ron Paul isn't a corporate puppet unlike Romney, there's no way he would win from lack of funds for his campaign. And even if, I was only 17 during the 2012 elections, so I wouldn't be able to vote.
Come on Comms, I'm sure you're intelligent enough to comply with a thought experiment.

Just assume the premise is correct.

Not American, plus I don't like his stance on healthcare.

Gotta love how any one of the British candidates, even John from the Booze, Buns and Baccy party (I shit you not) would do better than any US reality TV presenter (Obama/Romney/Paul/etc...)

No, the few good things Ron Paul is for are massively out weighed by the rest if his platform.

More importantly how do we feel about Ron Paul Jr.?

Rand Paul is a tool.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
If I was Ron I would be fucking disappointed.
He's publicly expressed disappointment on Rand's stance on Snowden. That's about it, if I can remember.

Doesn't he also want to get rid of the EPA and such?

Sorry, I have zero faith that businesses won't pollute the air and water if left to their own devices.

IIRC he's also isolationist, wants to put us on the gold standard, and wants to get rid of the federal reserve (which is good, but you have to replace it with something. Preferably a centralized public banking institution instead of the private banking circle jerk that currently controls it. Private bankers should not print and be control of the public money).

He wants to cut any government organization that isn't directly outlined in the constitution. So basically every government organization would be cut.
Dude, that's a disaster waiting to happen. There are a lot and I mean a lot of organizations that you probably aren't even aware of that are responsible for the well being of your everyday life. The constitution was meant to be a breathing document, and going to a strict interpretation of it would be absolutely awful and the founding fathers knew this.

Besides if we were to go full strict interpretation (which nobody ever wants to really do because they love it when their favorite areas are liberally interpreted) corporations wouldn't be citizens and only people in a militia would have gun rights.

The EPA is useless.

As I understand it Paul wanted to combat pollution on a tort law basis, considering it is an externality. Which would entail a carbon tax - the thing economists have been screaming about for ages.

The Constitution only severely limits Federal power. Paul was quite a big proponent of State's rights.

As for institutions which supposedly help Americans, like the FDA, most of them don't.

Actually the EPA is the legal punisher and pursuer of those that do not meet the legal standards for pollution control.
I don't know what went through your mind to convince you that merely stating its intended function would sway me from thinking it was useless.

Even if it did do its job properly, a carbon tax would be a far better alternative. I don't know what it is with the green crowd who think the solution to environmental problems have to be utterly and fundamentally behaviour-changing.
