Post-Debate Analysis, courtesy of OP.
There is no more important issue than the War on Terror (including Iraq). Paul is dead wrong on this. Period.
Everyone calling (rightfully) the Democrats in Congress traitors, should hold Paul to the same standard. He is a defeatist and voted for our SURRENDER.
Where is the difference to cowards like Hagel?
He is not the second Reagan you want to sell us.
Nice attempt though.
I too voted for Ron Paul in 1988... even volunteered to work on his campaign.
Today, I wouldn’t vote for him for anything higher than City Council or County Commissioner.
It is the lefty, anti-war crowd that are loading the polls for your guy.
He may be a good Constitutionalist, but he is neither a Conservative, nor a realist.
Wait a minute. You mean there are things more important to conservatives than sticking our noses into the internal affairs of other nations that never represented a threat to our borders? What about 'spreading democracy'? What about nation building? That's got to be important to the Wilsonians, I mean, Republicans.
It was indeed refreshing to see a conservative candidate that stood, and strongly believes, for non-intervention and a non aggressionist foreign policy. Although my concern is that the question on tax and his response on sound money, while the correct position, may have gone over the heads of many that aren't used to a politician actually telling the truth. It definitely confused most of the other candidates on the stage.
I wouldn’t vote for him that’s for sure.
Ron Paul is closer to being a capable leader the stature of Reagan than any of the rest. Reagan wasn’t afraid to pick the best persons for advisor’s. This was a major factor in his success. His biggest mistake was having GHW Bush on the ticket with him. Poppy was basically against everything Reagan stood for and if Poppy had won in 1980 we would be in a far deeper mess I’m certain of that.
