MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Campaigning in New Hampshire today, Republican Ron Paul says he would lift sanctions on Iran and order the U.S. Navy to pull back from its shores.

Paul says if the U.S. relieved pressure on Iran, people would breathe a sign of relief, interest rates probably would not go up and oil prices probably would drop.

Speaking in Manchester, Paul said the Bush administration has been looking for war with Iran.

Got to be a misquote. Maybe out of context.

The only thing that saved Mr. Paul was the word, "probably."

That's gotta be it.

Interest rates?? They need to go up. A lot. And I have no idea how Iranian sanctions, or a lack thereof, would affect them.

That said, I think the best thing we could do for Iran is to air-drop millions of iPods filled with American music, and millions of rifles filled with American bullets. The Iranian people like America; their government is the problem. We don’t need to cut off the people from us; we need to give the people the tools to fix the problem themselves.

I don’t waste time watching Ron Paul interviews. He is a bottom feeder. I only watch interviews of the real contenders, the viable candidates.

well, I can only speak from personal opinion, but I don't really care who is leading or about the horserace, I care about finding the truth and an honest candidate who speaks the truth. If you were to be bothered, you would find in that interview Paul speaks and articulates true conservative principles in a way I have never heard before. It is truely inspiring.

Ron Paul is heading in the right direction. Rogue states might act human and decent if we they were given some respect.

Ron Paul would resume selling F-14 parts to Iran.

We don’t have to argue about Ron Paul, he will never be president. He may have trouble retaining his seat in congress.

People on FR have been saying that for 8 years. He won in 2006 by 20% and has a ridiculous war chest.
