Romney is the most socialist Republican that’s ever been offered to us. Our biggest crisis right now is the debt and the biggest driver of the debt is entitlements. Romney has shown he will cave and buckle every time a welfare entitlement is challenged so that he can pander for votes. He has also remained extremely supportive and positive throughout the primary about his great socialist entitlement Romneycare.

Even our military leaders have said our greatest national security crisis is the debt. The only reason we have been a powerful military force is because our economy has been so productive. Our debt will absolutely crush us as a world power and make it impossible to sustain a competitive military.

Despite Ron Paul’s faults on social and foreign policy issues, he is an extremist when it comes to fiscal conservatism and that is what we desperately need right now. We need spending austerity and slashing of taxes to save our economy. Whatever Paul might screw up on other issues, we can fix later. The debt is something we simply will not be able to fix if it gets any worse. It will be the end of America as a significant world power and will leave us vulnerable to all forms of military and foreign invasion.

I am pretty sure the Congress would make financing Israel a prime issue and force Paul to cave on that. That’s a bipartisan issue.

Bottom line, Ron Paul almost certainly can’t win the primary, but when you have a choice between him and Romney, Paul is the obvious and only choice for the desperate fiscal times we live in.

Well said. I would also support over Romney.

Paul is a Constitutionalist. Restoring the Constitution is a prerequisite to restoring the rule of law. Perhaps with a return to the rule of law our people would also rediscover a higher law at the same time.

Our own debt foisted on us by our “leaders” will destroy us well beyound what AQ or Iran could ever do.
