I would really appreciate an honest answer to this question: If the Republican ticket was Ron Paul and John Boehner, would you want them to defeat Obama?
Paul was last on my list, Boehner is insufferable, but yes. That is how much I see the danger in Obama. He is unthinkable on the economy and as commander in chief. As bad as I think Paul would be a commander in chief, he is still better than Obama.
I’ll tell you a Ron Paul story and why he was last on my list. Here is my report from 4 1/2 years ago.

For those who have doubts that Ron Paul would be an acceptable commander in chief, your doubts would have been absolutely confirmed if you listened to him this morning on WHO 1040 talk radio in Des Moines, Iowa.
He came on Jan Mickelson’s show at about 8:50am, Pacific Time. I was the second caller.
After complimenting him on his commitment to the Constitution, I asked a question about foreign policy. If any of you can pull the podcast, you can hear the conversation.
The question went something like this: Dr. Paul, if a shipment of nuclear tipped missiles was heading from North Korea to Iran, knowing the position of Ahmadinejad and the mullahs, would you stop that ship or sink it?
His answer was stunning. He very quickly answwered, “No, why would we do that?” After that question back to me, he commented that there was almost zero chance of that happening. He said that if he knew they planned to use them against us, he would take action. But they know they would be obliterated.
I wanted to challenge him further over Iran’s stated goal of destroying Israel, but I was apparently cut off by the host and couldn’t do it.
There you go, folks. Dr. Paul is an unthinkable commander in chief.
