And guess what? A lot of people don't. Bush's foreign policy is not the traditional Republican position, it's not the constitutional position, the founders warned against it, and it has 'blowback'. And not only that, it is bankrupting our country, and causing us to be resented all over the world. Paul believes in a strong national defense, the just war theory, and free trade - he is not an isolationist.
All of that is Crap, and directly contradicted by his own public statements.
You Ron Paul supporters are nothing if not consistent. You consistently lie about Ron Paul's positions -- to the point where you don't even pay attention to the man's own words.
Why don't all you Libertarians get your stories straight and tell the same lie, it seems to work for the Democrats. And stop calling yourselves Conservatives or Republicans, you are neither. You are Libertarians, show some self-respect, own it, and be proud of it.
If you're going to argue, then point out specifically what you think is untrue, and refute it.
And I'm not a libertarian. (but thanks for assuming) In fact, there are a couple things I disagree with Paul on, he is more libertarian than I am, but since we have gone so far in the other direction, I think only a moron would NOT want someone who is liberty-minded and consistently votes to protect our rights and liberties.
This is not really about Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee per se. This is about the spat and potential divorce of Frank Meyers 50 year old fusionist marriage of libertarians and social conservatives. Neither one of them is going anywhere. Paul will go back to Congress and Huck will retire to make excercise videos. They are just the bit players in a much larger and more serious debate:
