Just wondering that as a Christian how you square his stand against financial and moral support for Israel, which as you know is the prevailing reason for most Christians to shun his foreign policy ideas. It has caused him great trouble.

Also, diminishing our military capabilities would be the natural result of his proclivity for slashing budgets where they include the military and DOD.

If these ideas are not accurate, it seems Ron has done little to straighten us out, if you know what I mean.

I know about his policy of ending foreign aid to all foreign nations which I also support and how ending US aid to Israel's enemies does more for Israel than the current policy of failure. Israel is losing the military buildup race to her enemies.

I also know that Ron Paul was the only one in congress that spoke out in favor of Israel bombing Iraq's nuclear facility. Kind of strange when others say he is anti-Israel based on what others have written and said about him, I take as part of the campaign to discredit an honorable man.

I trust God and His promises for Israel, light years over WH and Congress politicking when it comes to Israel. Presidents and congress have screwed Israel time and time again. There are better ways to support Israel so she can defend herself, though I am all for cutting off aid to all Israel's enemies and keeping the aid going to Israel as another alternative.

We cannot afford to finance others govts around the world by spending money we borrow from China leaving our children and grandchildren the monster that has to be paid back, to keep military bases in places that provide zero defense of the USA. Japan and Germany can pay for their own defense as far as I am concerned to name just two. There are billions of dollars wasted in military spending. Surely you can name as well as I the countless bondoggles of failed military programs where the money disappeared and we saw no defense benefits to the nation. There is plenty of corruption and wasteful politicking spending in defense and military spending. In Ron Paul I see a man who wants to defend America not have us pay for everyone else's defense and stop the black hole corruption in a lot of defense programs.

Why is it so many who claim to be fiscally conservative never want to actually cut anything? Maybe because they are all talk when it comes to being conservative and when the rubber hits the road they bail. Geez Romney and all the other GOP candidates IMO would spend us into collapse. Big spending and big govt are our biggest problems and fixing those two result in fixing most other problems we face. I support Ron Paul because I am a Christian and fiscal conservative. I don't know what you are guys are that don't support him.
