I read alot of Ron Paul's writings. I like various editorieals of his on my blog: http://justwhatithink.com/blog/index.php?y=2006&m=10

Gold, Dollars, and Federal Reserve Mischief

The End of Dollar Hegemony

He is spoken of often on a radio show I advertise with, Derry Brownfield Show.

I chose to back Duncan Hunter over Paul due to the WOT. I'm still trying to figure out why Paul is against cleaning up the mess that has been created since WW2. I honestly don't get it.

I'm hoping Paul will still run if one of the RINOs gets the backing over Hunter. I would vote Paul easily over McCain, Giuliani or Romney.

Ah. Well, I think that Paul is very strong on the border, port security, the coast guard -- these are the areas which I think are far more important to the actual Defense of America than is Iraq. Admittedly, Hunter's good on those issues also; I just don't think he's any kind of fiscal conservative, and that bothers me (a lot).

In Iraq, we have a choice between Sunni Terrorists on the one hand and Shi'ite Terrorists on the other. When Ronald Reagan faced that choice in Lebanon -- he left.

I believe that was the wise thing to do, and that Ron Paul's call for a restoration of Reaganite foreign policy is wise.

I do believe that the Sunnis and Shi'ites will continue to kill eachother if we leave Iraq; but I'm rooting for them to both Lose, anyway.
