Ron Paul is a Utopian isolationist fool. He lives in peace to spout his nonsense because better men have laid down their lives to deter a very real evil that Ron Paul refuses to confront.

Ron Paul is the only Congressman, in either house, who walks the talk as a Constitutional strict constructionist. His vote against Iraq was determined upon Constitutional grounds. That vote will prevent him from gaining any serious consideration as a presidential candidate, however. I support the war in Iraq, myself. But, I am quite aware that the manner in which we entered into that war was not on a sound Constitutional footing. It's just strange, to hear so many conservatives, who consider themselves to be strict constructionists, mocking the only candidate who actually, consistently espouses such a thing, day in and day out, and has for decades. I've long admired Ron Paul, and I still admire Ron Paul. Would that we had 100 more of him. Our country would be in far better shape.

He lives in peace to spout off his beliefs because proud patriots like the other men on stage realize that any talk about withdrawal is treason. The utopians are those who believe that we're going to be drawing down troops from Iraq any time within the next 50 years. Even after we smash the Islamo-fascists, which isn't going to take much longer, there are going to be a few crazies over there who will wait for the day when we start to draw down troops so they can say that they won. We can't give them that opportunity, so the best solution is to let them know that we will be there forever, whether they like it or not.
