Good grief. After reading a lot of what some people here have to say, it's becoming more clear why candidates like him never win presidential elections. Many here would rather throw one-liners than really consider the issues. Many here simply don't care to know the issues.
The future of our nation is much too important, and much too at-risk, to rationalize away with one-liners.
God help us.
On most issues he would be my guy, but I do believe we need to prosecute the so-called war on terror in a big way.
The current administration's strategery is to keep it in the middle east, and until somebody comes up with a better idea (and in my view we haven't seen one) I think we should stay on the track we're on.
So there is my disagreement with Ron Paul. I completely understand where he's coming from, viewing the war as one against a people who did not declare war against us. I believe various tyrants over there have done everything short of sending us an engraved invitation to occupy the region and take whatever action is necessary to defend our country.
Rep. Paul seems to believe we need more justification than we have in order to prosecute this war. An honest disagreement with the current administration (and the vast majority of the Congress and Senate of four years ago, most of whom are still in office). It is only one issue, but it is a huge one.
