Unless and until we secure our borders, illegal immigration and the problems associated with it will only increase." Ron Paul (source)
RON PAUL is the ONLY socially-conservative Candidate defending the independence of the Christian Church against Federal "Faith-Based Socialism".
- "Government funding of religious organizations will transform them into adjuncts of the federal welfare state, more concerned about obeying federal rules and regulations than fulfilling the obligations of their faith." Ron Paul (source). Every other so-called "social conservative" candidate actually FAVORS this underhanded Orwellian Federal assault on the Freedom of the Christian Church.
"I got to know President Reagan in 1976 when, as a freshman congressman, I was one of only four members of that body to endorse then-Governor Reagans primary challenge to President Gerald Ford. I had the privilege of serving as the leader of President Reagans Texas delegation at the Republican convention of 1976, where Ronald Reagan almost defeated an incumbent president for his partys nomination. I was one of the millions attracted to Ronald Reagan by his strong support for limited government and the free-market. I felt affinity for a politician who based his conservative philosophy on '...a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom.' I wish more of todays conservative leaders based their philosophy on a desire for less government and more freedom." Ron Paul, Remembering Ronald Reagan

Conservatives confuse the primary process with a horse race. They pick their candidate before he’s out of the gate and stick with him until the end. It doesn’t have to be that way. Let the candidates debate and the conservative ideas will be able lead all the candidates to the right. (Except for Rudy, who may realize that he’s really a Democrat and McCain who’ll finally see the writing on the wall and McFred who’ll realize that bragging about co-authoring the unconstitutional McCain/Feingold wasn’t conservative.)

Outside a dwindling band of administration loyalists in the wagons circled around George W. Bush, I cant detect much enthusiasm for the Iraq war among conservative commentators and e-mailers. "We gave the Iraqis a fair shot, now lets leave them to it and concentrate on chasing down worldwide terrorism," is the dominant sentiment.
Since this is largely my own position, he must be a genius. LOL. I do think that, having destroyed Iraq's own military, we are obligated to defend Iraq's borders against Iran and especially Turkey for another 3-5 years, primarily from remote bases in Iraq.
I don't share his overall pessimism though. RP running can stir interest in conservative economics and liberty issues. It can recruit future leaders. And, given the right moment and series of events, even win the nomination and the White House.
You can argue how many other politicians were elected that were just as impossible in their contemporary political climate. Yet, they were elected.
Certainly, Ron Paul's odds are long. But well short of impossible. And they continue to improve.

But Caldwell is being very unfair to Paul here. You could turn up people like that among the camp followers of any candidate, from any party. Send me out to poke among activists for Giuliani, Clinton, Edwards, or for sure! Obama: Ill come up with worse than that.But, but I was told right here by the party 'faithful' that only Ron Paul has a few kooks in his ranks. You mean, gasp, that other candidates may have fringe supporters?!?
I doubt its his anti-war stand. Outside a dwindling band of administration loyalists in the wagons circled around George W. Bush, I cant detect much enthusiasm for the Iraq war among conservative commentators and e-mailers. "We gave the Iraqis a fair shot, now lets leave them to it and concentrate on chasing down worldwide terrorism," is the dominant sentiment. Im not clear about Ron Pauls position on routine counter-terrorism and covert ops, but on the war in Iraq, I dont see much of a problem for him base-wise.
This is the NRO isn't it? The National Review?!?

A thoughtful article. I’m not sure Ron Paul is actually electable at a national level, not sure who would be his running mate (Pat Buchanan??), but I am glad he consistently surfaces all these conservative ideas and can agree him on almost all of them.

Few of these laborers in the vineyards of government do anything useful. (In my experience I used to have to deal with them few do anything much at all.) Some of what they do is actually harmful to the nation. On the whole, though, we have settled in with this system. We are used to it. Its not going away, absent a revolution; and conservatives are duh! not, by temperament, revolutionaries. At the very least, we should stop adding to the numbers of government "workers." Can't that be done without a reveolution?

By way of an answer, let me introduce you to my friend Zhang (not his real name). Zhang came here from China after the 1989 Tiananmen massacre. An energetic and clever young man, he worked at odd jobs around New York City while looking for an opportunity to make his fortune. The opportunity soon arrived. He happened upon a business opportunity a new method of engraving on stone, the patent held by a fellow-exile with whom he had struck up a friendship. The two of them were sure theyd be rich in no time. They struggled for a couple of years to bring the thing to market. At last, defeated, they gave up. Zhang took a desk job as a clerk for a credit card company. What was the cause of the failure? I asked him. He: "We didnt realize this is a mature economy. So many permits, regulations, accounting rules, taxes! In China, we could have got this off the ground in no time, working out of back rooms and sticking up poster ads. Here forget it! Youre killed by lawyers and accountants and agents fees before you get started. Stick up an ad, the city comes after you."
Something analogous applies to politics. If Washington, D.C. were the drowsy southern town that Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge rode into, Ron Paul would have a chance. Washingtons not like that nowadays, though. It is a vast megalopolis, every nook and cranny stuffed with lobbyists, lawyers, and a hundred thousand species of tax-eater. The sleepy old boulevards of the 1920s are now shadowed between great glittering ziggurats of glass and marble, where millions of administrative assistants to the Department of Administrative Assistance toil away at sending memos to each other.

Worth repeating in full - too many non-productive rent-seekers are the cause of most of our problems. Unfortunately, it's like trying to change an oil tanker's course a hundred yards from the rocky coastline.

Even if he doesn’t win, Ron Paul can do for modern right wing politics what Barry Goldwater did in losing in 1964.
Provide the impetus for a future return to constitutionalist/libertarian limited government ideology.
Of course, he has to at least do well enough to send a scare into both the libs and the Big Govt GOP folks.

I recently heard Ron Paul being interviewed by Edd Hendee on KSEV in Houston. Paul talks a good talk, but apparently accomplishes little in office. Hendee held Paul’s feet to the fire on some hot issues and Paul’s response sounded like a weasle. Too bad, I wanted to believe Paul was better than that.

He’s the only true Reaganite in the race. I’m old enough to remember the 1980 GOP National Platform which called for returning to the Gold Standard. Ron Paul is responsible for it being included in the platform and he served on Reagan’s June 1981 Gold commission.
