I don’t support Paul’s foreign policy, but I do support his message of liberty through limited government.

It is remarkable how much hatred for Ron Paul is generated because of this fundamental stance against the Second Coming of Lyndon Johnson in the person of another Texan, George W. Bush.

Had he campaigned for this outrageous spending and debt he's piled up, he could never have been elected. The GOP leadership in the party would have treated him as a radioactive leper.

Military spending aside, the only record we can compare his discretionary spending to is that of LBJ, another guns-and-butter war president. And at the end of Bush's term, we face the threat of inflation and recession and a major banking crisis over global loss of confidence in our currency and our complete lack of fiscal discipline. And under a Republican president!

I prefer Ron Paul's approach: declare the war (to prevent the other party from defecting before it's won as the Dims have done), wage it to win without any quarter for the enemy, win it on terms of unconditional surrender, then bring the troops home (not garrison it as part of a neocolonial system for the next fifty years or more at taxpayer expense).

And Ron Paul won't run the dollar into the ground by using printing presses to favor the central banks and their irresponsible lending practices.

Except of course for his vote for military action in Afghanistan..

Ron Paul will do this, and Ron Paul will do that....

Do you realize how unbelievably politically immature you sound? He has accomplished NOTHING in his ten terms as Congressman, yet you cling to the hopes that will somehow change overnight.

Grow the hell up already.
