Non-interventionist foreign policy makes the world a dark and scary place.

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich should form a tontine. Whichever one of them gets his party's nod can ask the other to be his running mate. It's one that will never create a dispute regarding any fine print.

The fact that we are slowly going broke has little to do with Iraq or any other part of defense. And, Ron knows that full well. That's why his other qualities are attractive, though not attractive enough to garner the necessary delegates.

Of course, left unsaid is that Iraq is now by definition and by explicit wording in its new Constitution - an Islamic Republic - and no, Americans cannot own property in Iraq.

Why the creation or the defense of an Islamic Republic is worth even iota of military assistance, much less even one soldier's life, is a question those who criticize Ron Paul don't seem to want to answer.

Dr. Paul is not an Isolationist.

To be an Isolationist requires a great deal of thinking to develop a certain line of reasoning. That line of reasoning is generally totally incorrect, but it still takes time and brain power to develop.

Dr. Paul is not an Isolationist. He is just a wacko.

I agree with Paul that the government is too big. But he needs to realize that it’s got to be operative in some cases, like dealing with potential enemies in the Middle East.

I have actually heard the more leftist callers on AirAmerica suggest Ron Paul team up with Dennis Kucinich and run as a third party. No question which party that would hurt more.

The founders were aware of the almost constant war in the eastern hemisphere and did not want us to get involved in those wars. We also tried to keep that type of culture out of the western hemisphere via the Monroe doctrine.

Other than the US, there is no country in the western hemisphere that could pose a significant military threat to any of its neighbors. Well, maybe Brazil.

There is no country in the world, outside of Russia, that poses a significant threat to the US. Even Russia is not a threat to invade the US. Let the Eastern hemisphere keep on fighting their wars, but we don’t need to be part of them.

I don’t think interventionism (invading countries so they can become democratic) and isolationism are our only choices. George Bush’s invasion of Iraq was ill-conceived “interventionism”. Reagan’s negotiate-but-verify and intelligence priorities along with covert operations to help people within their own countries gain freedom - these are the things we should be doing.

Ron Paul reminds me of a janitor in my old middle school.
I hated middle school. RP is a nobody in my book.
