"I call it a non-interventionist, constitutional foreign policy," he said Tuesday. "We should have a strong national defense. But we should stay out of other countries' internal affairs. Our role is not nation building, and not to be world policeman." That's exactly where the majority of the American public stands on the subject, and the other GOP candidates ignore this at their peril. Ron Paul isn't going to win the nomination based on this belief, but the eventual Republican nominee might well lose the general election over it.

Someone help me out. When did Ron Paul become a Republican?
When I lived in Texas, he was a Libertarian.

Very true, and bears repeating.

The Republican party is convinced that this is still 2002, and that all they have to do is thump their chests to win. Three quarters of the country no longer agrees with them on Iraq, but the Republicans somehow just haven't figured that out yet. People are going to see them completely dismissing the only candidate in their midst who thinks even remotely like they do on the subject, and the result of that is entirely predictable. They're going to get absolutely destroyed in '08.

All the conservatives I talk to believe the same thing.
Bush lied and our children died.
The war was planned failure at Nation Building and no in our national security interest.
If the administration truely thought there was a current and immediate threat, why are our borders wide open?
