If you call abiding by the Constitution and everything It stands for “crazy”, then you can call me crazy too. I don’t agree with his stance on Israel, but everything else he’s been saying is no different than what most Conservatives believe and that’s basically smaller, less intrusive government, less taxes, a strong and secure border, a government that abides by the Constitution rather than ignores it. He’s a man who is pro-life, pro-God, pro-Second Amendment. He’s more in line with the TEA Party than those who call themselves Republicans. What you will find with Ron Paul is that he’s consitent. I find it interesting that somehow all these Conservative ideas are now considered “crazy”.
It’s not Ron Paul’s stance on the Constitution, taxes, and down-sizing big government that scares conservatives away from Ron Paul. Most of us truly appreciate his positions in those areas.
It’s his 19th century ideas about foreign policy, and his total lack of support for our ally, Israel, that we find so disturbing.
Frankly, I don’t mind the man being a House rep at all - but President? No. Not only does he have a few deal-breakers in his portfolio, but he doesn’t have any of the sort of attributes I look for in a leader.
