While I admire a number of principled policy decisions by RFK, Jr., there are too many other's that simply make him an unsuitable candidate in my opinion. Here is a list of some of those posted by someone called Bad Hombre on a number of key issues:

1. RFK, Jr.’s latest a******n stance of no limits: RFK Jr on the 15-Week Federal A******n Ban https://www.politico.com/news/2023/08/13/rfk-jr-backs-15-week-federal-ban-on-a******n-00111017

2. RFK Jr’s tweets calling the NRA terrorist organization: RFK Jr on hating the NRA https://twitter.com/robertkennedyjr/status/965009496836784128?s=46&t=QNfHHfOgQXfeqLAqkL-Mtw

3. RFK Jr.’s support for r********ns: https://www.kennedy24.com/racial_healing

4. RFK Jr. supporting policies to drive up the cost of gas to $12+ gallon to eliminate gas cars: https://twitter.com/alexepstein/status/1675959680785608704?s=46&t=QNfHHfOgQXfeqLAqkL-Mtw (3:17 minute mark)

5. RFK Jr. calling for the law to prosecute “c*****e c****e deniers”: Punish G****l W*****g Skeptics: https://theweek.com/speedreads/445746/robert-f-kennedy-jr-wants-law-punish-global-warming-skeptics (punishing people who have a different opinion than you, Robert? Settled Science? Really? What about all the scientists that claim the climate has always been changing since the creation of our planet?)

6. RFK Jr supporting government-backed mortgages: Government Mortgaging and his crazy plan to destroy the American Dream. https://www.kennedy24.com/housing and https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1783941942365327711 (I'll concede he has a point Re: Black Rock but gov't subsidizing 3% housing bonds isn't the answer)

7. RFK Jr. supports a National ‘smart grid’ that can remotely shut off personal appliances: He wants to remotely shut off your personal appliances. https://nypost.com/2024/03/28/us-news/rfk-jr-supported-building-national-smart-grid-that-can-remotely-shut-off-personal-appliances/amp/

MY COMMENT: We have too much government control in our lives now, we don't need more. We don't have a free market economy, which Kennedy acknowledges. We simply differ on how to make it a Free Market Economy.

The entire Kennedy Family has nearly disowned him.
I think he may have a brain malady that is causing him problems.

The fact that the entire Kennedy Family has nearly disowned him has no bearing on the rightness or wrongness of his viewpoints. I believe him to be a bright and principled individual. I may disagree with him on some of the points I cited, but public discussion of these issues is what makes for a strong and functioning Representative Democracy!

I agree with all of your reasons. especially THERE IS TOO MUVH DAMN GOVERNMENT INTRUSION. Why do they think they know better? They can't legislate out of a paper bag without screwing up.
