As much of a nut I think Dr. Paul is, at least he has the guts to be different than the rest of this panel, and he tends to be a bit more of a federalist. Of course, his foreign policy is totally wacko.

Of course, it's not.

Would you rather this country's armed forces continue to be the world's police force, wherever we're needed? Sooner or later, the bills come due, and we will have to pay, pay, pay.

I suspect your statement is out of ignorance, not malice, since very few on FreeRepublic really know anything about Ron Paul other than he's been against the Iraq War since before it began. Suggested reading: A Foreign Policy of Freedom, a collection of Congressman Paul's speeches since 1976. You will discover that his anti-Iraq-war stance is based on many years of observing -- skeptically -- foreign policy mistakes that have made the United States less free and more a target for malcontents. As a reviewer wrote, "This foreign policy, Congressman Paul has pointed out, is contrary to American ideals, diminishes American liberty, and ends up making worse the very problems it seeks to alleviate."

Of course, his foreign policy is totally wacko. He is a principled man, who believes in limited goverment. Glad to see he stuck to his principles in this debate. In following RP he doesn't really 'tailor' his responses to whatever group he is trying to please, unlike the rest of the bunch. I bet the rest didn't show up because of disagreements over the format, the yes/no format allowed them to be be stuck unequivically in a position of support or against, not good politics, unfortunately.
