Good grief - you can disagree with him on foreign policy but the man does espouse a strong conviction for protecting citizens' civil liberties (Bill of Rights). Can't say that about all the stuffed suits up there - some, but not most.
Agreed. Paul is an arch-conservative once you get around his turtleshell foreign policy. While some of his claims have credence, he doesn’t communicate it coherently enough.
Civil liberties? I remember those.
Paul is excellent on civil liberties. Unfortunately for him, America needs a Patton, not a philosopher to crush the islamo terrorists.
No he doesn't. He advocates doing NOTHING. Do Nothing does NOT protect the Civil Liberties of the public at large. It merely rewards those willing to engage in illegality.
We, as a society, have a right to protect ourselves from those who mean us harm. The instrument of that protect is OUR Govt. Govt of, by and for the people.
People like Paul who are more afraid of the duly elected Govt of the US they they are of terrorists thugs who have the blood of thousands of Americans on their hands are NOT "protecting our civil liberties" but unwittingly aiding the terrorists.
It’s much deeper than disagreeing with him any specific issues. He is unqualified to even be on that stage.
