I’ll give you that, I like Taranceno too. Paul would be ok if he could just stop smoking crack before talking about the war. On lots of other things I like him.
People are always afraid of bold ideas and changes, like going to fair tax, they fear that some unknown thing will get them in the end. Its the result of having such an untrustworthy group running the government.
The thing about Ron Paul that some conservatives are forgetting is that he has had a consistant view about foreign intervention that he is against it unless we are reacting to direct attack on the United States no matter which party is in the Presidency unlike most Democrats that support it when Democrats are in power and oppose it when Republicans are in power.
He was against Bosnia and Somalia back in the 90’s but supported Afghanistan war on taliban.
I can deal with a constitant philosophy, he has always been against the United Nations, WTO, KYOTO, and other world government bodies and agreements like the Int’l Criminal Court.
THis should be a great plus for most FREEPERS because things in our country would get much better if we would either make these countries that take for granted that we are paying for our defense would see what it costs.
