I doubt any conservative, especially this writer, missed any of that news flash.

He’s right however, that libertarian ideals worsen the problem. I can’t understand why any Republican supports any candidate whose campaign speech sounds just like Teddy Kennedy’s, Cindy Sheehan and Jane Fonda???

Someone needs to explain how this speech sounds better coming from Ron Paul than from all the leftists who have been making the same speech for years???

How can a candidate be weak on national defense and strong on liberal social policies, be called a “conservative”?

When Ron Paul speaks about the War in Iraq he sounds like me, and lots of my fellow veterans that I know. Allowing the Army and Marine Corps to be ground down in a voluntary, fool's errand of a war isn't something I find a lot of enthusiasm for.

I strongly supported the Cold War, a war worth fighting and in which I fought as a volunteer (1LT - 173rd Airborne Brigade in Vietnam). In my adult lifetime, the only wars I've opposed were in Bosnia and Iraq, neither of which were any of our business and destined to fail. Peacekeeping and nation building aren't in our line and shouldn't be. US forces should be used to defend the US and shouldn't be wasted wandering around the world looking for ancient wars and ethnic hatreds to waste our troops lives on.

If a US President wants a Nobel Prize he can win it with a persuasive letter ending hostilities or do without it.

strong on liberal social policies

Paul is a federalist on social policies.

There is not a liberal bone in Paul's body.
