No, it is much more than that.

RP want to pull off the world stage and try using old tactics to defend America from 21st century threats.

He has been against every intuitive we have tried to bring forth in this war.

He has been trying to lay blame at America's feet for this war, as are his supporters. While there may or may not be merit to that case, this is not the time and place for such debate. That only plays into the hands of the enemy, both foreign and domestic.

I consider that a big difference.

No, he wants to pull our military force off the world stage and stop being the errand boy and sugar daddy for the corrupt thugs at the United Nations.

World trade and commerce, on the other hand, is something that he staunchly supports.

Not true. He voted for the Afghan police action and tried to pass a formal declaration of war. That would have put the Dims on record so they couldn't be-against-it-after-they-were-for-it. He also tried to get a bill of marque and reprisal to hire mercenary or tribal forces to apprehend or kill Osama and his top leadership. When asked how much he would spend, he indicated a starting sum of a billion dollars for the operation. Compared to what we've spent there, it would be a bargain.

Imagine what Blackwater could do with a license to hunt Bin Laden and a billion dollars to do it with.

And Ron Paul is still a great champion of missile defense, just as he was during the Reagan era.

So your charges that he is a weak sister on defense simply don't pan out. I accept you don't agree with him but please stick to his actual record. There's plenty there for you to disagree with.
