Well the guy is devoid of any real solutions to the situation we as a nation are facing today.

How can you say that? Ron Paul believes we should be good neighbors and a good example to the world, a friend and ally of democracies. He doesn't believe in nationbuilding and endorses "a humble foreign policy" (the same positions our president campaigned on in 2000 before he lost his way). He believes we should prioritize saving Social Security for those who still need it but find more ways for young people to be freed from it. He wants to abolish the IRS. He wants to withdraw from the criminally corrupt United Nations. He wants to close our borders and rely on legal immigration only. He wants to defederalize many programs (like education) and send them back to the states (no block-grants, no federal bureaucracy designing one-size-fits-none programs while skimming off the top to support themselves before sending those programs back to the states only partially funded so that states are forced to spend even more to comply with them).

Ron Paul has some great solutions.

Come on, just admit it. You're feeling the tug to join our Pinglist. The Force is strong with Obie Ron.

Ha,ha, nope sorry. In a different world I might buy into this simplistic vision of how to run America but in todays convoluted situation I want somebody who’s agenda goes beyond “take em home”. Though I never signed on to invading Iraq I do believe turning a blind eye on international terrorism is stupid and dangerous and I don’t support anyone who wants to pretend that we America is to blame for the current world conditions !!!

“He doesn’t believe in nationbuilding and endorses “a humble foreign policy” (the same positions our president campaigned on in 2000 before he lost his way).”

GWB was referring to Billy-Jeff’s “humanitarian” missions. He “lost his way” when this country was attacked.

We went to war with Iraq, we won that rather swiftly and now must stay to defend the birth of their democracy (you know that little thing that will change the face of the entire ME). War, nation building. They kind of have to go hand and hand or the results are disasterous. That is reality, something Ron Paul has no use for.

There is an article today in the WSJ/Opinion Journal that Paul should probably read. Iraq/Afhganistan has nothing to do with Iran’s regime desperation does it? http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010434
