I agree with maybe 95% of what Ron Paul stands for. However, having a small government has no benefit if we are enslaved by our enemies in some manner or form.

Be wrong on foreign policy trumps all other qualifications combined.

“Being wrong on foreign policy disqualifies him...”

More or less, like it or not, we have important national and corporate interests in Iraq and Afghanistan, Dr. Paul may realize that or he may not, either way he made his stance on Iraq clear, and that makes him unelectable as a Repulbican, as much as I agree with Dr. No, he is off base on foreign policy at this point in time.

His ideas on other things are spot on, SOX for example, the debt and the deficit, role of government in “We the people’s” everyday lives.

It is my hope that some candidate basically picks up the good of Dr. Paul’s stances and leaves the unwise behind.

The only Republican candidate that I can see doing that is Fred Thompson, not Rudy nor Romney, though i do like Romney, he is no Constitutional Originalist.
