Ron Paul has some excellent qualities, he borders on right-moonbatish on a couple things (then again, so do I,) but my main issue with him is his refusal to support defending our country against terrorists.
Not so. He wanted letters of M&R and an actual Declaration of War. He also wants a full restoration of our individual RKBA.
Understand, Dr. Paul is a strict Constitutionalist. He doesn't view the War Powers Act as a Constitutional Law. In fact, it isn't as it takes power from the President and gives it to Congress without actually Amending the Constitution. This is Ron's main concern in waging ANY war via "authorization for use of force" under its auspices.
