What I’m saying is I’m a lifelong conservative, and I see merit in his candidacy, above any other candidate running.

I certainly agree with many libertarians on the republican form of government and a small federal government.

Paul's foreign policy is extremely dangerous to my health, IMHO, and I don't see how conservatives can support it. So I can't get past that, survival, y'know?

There's other things that really bug me about him, but I honestly feel he'd be dangerous to our long term security; that's the biggie for me.

Thanks for your replies...

and thank you for your civility.

I get you on the foreign policy part. frankly im just not that impressed with A.Q. The Soviets were the real deal. They were an existential threat to the US, but A.Q. is just the product of some shady shit we’ve done over the years in the M.E.

I guess that brands me as a “blame america first” jerk but hell, I think it’s silly to assume that our foreign policy has nothing to do with how other countries see us. It wouldn’t be much of a foreign policy if it were true.

I think the US is first among nations in our commitment to liberty, but i dont think that every move we’ve made has been valuable towards that end.

How about the survival of capitalism? Or survival in terms of medical care? McRomneyThomiani will give us universal healthcare. Have you heard how that goes in other countries?
