To claim to once be for Thompson and for what he stands and now to be for Ron Paul is preposterous. The most important issue in this campaign is defending this nation from the Islamofascists. Thompson and the other candidates get that. Ron Paul doesn’t get it. He will never be the commander of chief of this nation.

The most important issue to me (as far as the presidential race) is to elect someone who will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.

I see you have swallowed the line that is handed to you, hook, line, and sinker.

IMO, the upcoming election is much broader than that one issue.

Consider for a moment the original source of Islamofacist terrorism, and who we are calling our "friends".

They are one and the same: Russia, Iran, Syria, China, Korea, etc. etc.

We fight them with one hand, and feed them with the other.

Really? I talked with several family members, middle age and older, that supported Arthur Branch, I mean Fred Thompson. After listening to him drone on endlessly about nothing at all and after being introduced to Dr. Paul they now support him. A couple have even donated to his campaign.

Maybe to you, but I think most people are past that and are now more interested in the economy.
