Now why would I want Ron Paul to win? So Iran can be free to nuke Israel as they’re threatening daily to do? No thanks.
Because the biggest threat we face is from within, not outside this country. The erosion of our Constitution is the ONLY thing that will bring us down, not a foreign threat, and for my money, Dr. Paul is the only one running with a thirty year track record of full support for the Constitution. NONE of the others can match that, even though most of the time he stood alone.
With respect to Israel, I pretty much agree with his stance: no foreign aid to ANY NATION, Israel included, and no strings to bind any action she feels needful for her own protection. That, I submit, is a FAR superior way to support a friend than trying to use U. S. taxpayers’ money to impose the will of the current mohammedan-in-chief.
Also, Dr. Paul is the only one of the crop who’s served in uniform. I think that may partially account for his popularity with service people. And, FYI, virtually ALL of the Marines I know or talk with, current, retired and prior service, support him. They’ll bring him up and try to convince ME to support him. So I figure if the tip of the spear likes Dr. Paul, we may yet have a chance to restore our Republic without bloodshed. Or, at least, without MUCH bloodshed.
