No need to consider, I'm already there. I've been a fan of his for years, but disagreed with him too much on foreign policy for him to be higher than my #4 guy when the GOP race started, behind Fred, Hunter and Tancredo. Now that they're all out, Ron's my man. If he drops, jmc goes third-party.
Welcome aboard the revolution, my FRiend. I wish I could assure you of a successful journey, but I don't think that's going to happen.
If Paul had never gotten into this thing, Fred would have been my second choice, after Tancredo. I think the 3rd-world invasion is the biggest threat to the nation, even over out of control gov't, for the simple reason that 3rd world marxist peasants will never vote to eliminate the welfare state. The welfare/warfare state must go, in order to restore the Republic. Combine the votes of the invaders with the votes of our indigenous liberals, and it may already be too late. Tancredo would have tried to do something about that.
The problem I had with your guy Fred is that, in my opinion, the absolute best we could have hoped for out of him was another Reagan. We need more than that. As much as I liked Reagan, I agree with Dr. Paul - his two terms weren't that successful. He left the fedgov bigger, more intrusive and expensive than it was when he took office. He gets credit for the fall of communism, but with the direction events have taken since then, I'm starting to miss the cold war.
As far as Paul's foreign policy goes, I agree with it completely. We need a national defense, nothing more. Paul supports that. I think that, under him, we'd have an air defense system that was lacking on 9-11 (and still is), we'd have a ballistic-missle defense system that could defend against more than a couple of missiles, and we'd have secure borders. Combine that with a strong Navy, Marine Corps and a massive strategic nuclear arsenal, and what more do you need?
Good post, I agree.
I was for Tancredo, but now I’m supporting Paul.
