I’d be interested to know what chunk of our armed services support Paul, and why.

It wouldn’t be surprising: Ron Paul is winning 48 percent of voters in the Iowa Caucus under the age of 29.

“I’d be interested to know what chunk of our armed services support Paul, and why.”

I support him because of his respect for the constitution and his desire to reign in spending and the role of government. He is an original constructionist. Lots of neocons have a problem with that. I don’t support all of his foreign policy desires, but I support the past/current direction of our foreign policy even less. I think he would make no immediate and dramatic changes, but would incrementally change its direction in a positive way. Besides that, he would never abuse his power and overstep the authority of congress and the courts. That would go against who he is.

He is also really strong on 2A, property rights, all rights for that matter, and defunding out of control agencies.

I can’t tell you what I do, but if you knew you would be truly stunned. You would without hesitation shake my hand and buy me beer for my service.
