The only area of real departure from mainstream conservatism on the part of Congressman Paul is in the area of foreign policy, where he is an old style isolationist. On all other counts, Paul is a consistent advocate of limited government and Constitutional rights. Of course, Duncan Hunter is more mainstream (and in my opinion realistic) in the area of foreign policy. Both men and Tom Tancredo are superior to the three RINOs (Romney, McCain, and Giuliani) promoted by the MSM and the country club wing of the GOP.

If Ron Paul is flaky on foreign policy (and he is), he's flaky on some other things too -- or that's my guess.

Even isolationists who are motivated by patriotism, like Paul, are dangerous, because it's a dangerous policy.

Advocating virtually no government is no way to persuade Americans that there should be less government. I admire Paul's guts, but he's far from an effective leader or spokesman.
