Ron Paul is a leftist in the entire area of foreign policy and trade, not just war.
His policies of isolationism and protectionism are among the most dangerous in the entire presidential field.
Yet he's the only GOP candidate whose foreign policy ideas are different than the Democratic candidates' foreign policy ideas (their hypocrisy notwithstanding), and identical to the foreign policy ideas of John Quincy Adams, Robert Taft, Richard Weaver, Russell Kirk, and James Madison. How, pray tell, does this make him a "leftist" in the area of foreign policy???
