You have totally misrepresented Dr. Paul's position. As for your suggestions that he promotes isolationism & gutting U.S. defense, etc., let me refer you to a discussion of what George Washington had to say, relevant to what Dr. Paul has actually argued with respect to the issues you appear to be referring to:

Pseudo Pragmatism.

Note that Washington's discussion involves an analysis of the psychological issues involved, and actually nails the emotions behind much of the contemporary rhetoric, including the smears directed against Dr. Paul.

I think it is high time that we dispassionately discussed the actual issues, and remembered Reagan's 11th Commandment, by not engaging in smear tactics against any of the Republican candidates.

In a few months, we are going to have to desperately try to come together.

Ron Paul is NOT a Republican candidate. Ron Paul is a libertarian, and a extreme nutty one at that. He should be in the Libertarian Party but nobody pays any attention to them. Ron Paul is NOT conservative and he is a major threat to the defense of this nation.

You want to discuss issues? I'll give you issues:
Ron Paul praises traitors. That is an issue.
Ron Paul published vile newsletters for decades and then lied about them. That is an issue.
Ron Paul wants to close ALL US foreign military bases. That is an issue.
Ron Paul does not have a problem with terrorist nations getting nukes. That is an issue.
Ron Paul is supported by and sympathizes with the Occupy parasites. That is an issue.
Ron Paul appears on kook fringe conspiracy shows and panders to those nuts. That is an issue.
Ron Paul has partnered with Soros and Barney Frank. That is an issue.
Ron Paul has recently gained the support of Stormfront, Code Pinko, and the KKK. That is an issue.
Ron Paul wants to gut the US military. That is an issue.
Ron Paul blamed the US for 9/11. That is an issue.
Ron Paul panders to the Truther whackos.

Is that a good start for “issues”?
