He's not an isolationist. He is just not for hyper-interventionism, nation building, propping up dictators, etc. But you ARE right when you say he is the only remaining candidate who will cut taxes (in fact he wants to get rid of the IRS and income tax!) keep us free from creeping socialism and big government, and he will restore our liberties that have been chipped away by the Dems and RINOs in Washington.
He is the ONLY true constitutionalist and old right Republican, and the ONLY one who can beat Hillary, because he can bring in the disgruntled Republicans, libertarians, constitution party and other third party independents and crossover Democrats. The RINO's (McHuckabomney) won't bring in those needed people to outnumber the Dems, and if we nominate any of those status-quo RINO's, we will lose.
Not the way I see it. Ron Paul is for such drastic reductions in American presence that isolationism is the only word for it.
Also, Hillary, while I cannot stand her, would make mincemeat of Ron Paul in the election. She would carry more women and most of the middle ground voters. Politically, Paul would be the Republican version of George Mcgovern. He would be smashed so badly that Hillary would have an even easier time implementing her socialist agenda because she would be percieved as having a mandate to do so. -And if he had to run against Obama, they would play up the racist card (whether true or not).
This election is a disaster in the making. Oh for Ronald Reagan!
