Cut and Run's policies already have wide acceptance with America's enemies. The surrender monkey and America's enemies would love to see America as weak as possible.

That would depend on what you mean by “protect America” Paul means cut and run, capitulate to our enemies, makes excuses for thugs, neuter the military - I just don’t think it will go over very well.

Paul’s foreign policy stances are better suited for 1812, not 2012. James Madison was a staunch supporter of a small to non existant Army and Navy (see the Federalist papers), yet realized that America can’t be protected by a bunch of militia after the war of 1812 and he saw the people’s house burned down.

We have to have a robust military, strategically forward placed in areas to protect our national interests. Paul doesn’t care if Iran gets a nuke, are you serious???? Paul wants to pull all the troops out of Afghanistan, are you serious??? These are stances that will allow our enemies to gain a start working on the next 9/11 and this time it will be a nuclear one.

Add to that his views on going back to the gold standard and some of his positions are just not credible. Yes, I agree with him that the Fed needs to be reformed but get rid of it and go back to the gold standard??? Seriously??? Do you really believe there’s enough gold available to support a 15 trillion dollar economy? Seriously???

I’m not happy with Mittens as our candidate, but he’s far better than Ron Paul and Barrack Obama.
