I see still no responses other than snide comments.. I would like to add a follow up question; how is the President Constitutionally authorized to do half of what Paul is promising?

Yes, but it won’t happen.

Also note that my support as a mere voter is not nearly as significant as that of a Presidential candidate that could sway the votes of a significant fraction of Republican voters away from supporting the Republican nominee.

If we stamp our feet, pout and stay home (or worse vote for the Democrat or for a third party candidate), we are no better than Ron Paul or Tom Tancredo. Make no mistake about it, these candidates and influential political activist leaders who threaten to not support the Party’s nominee are playing political extortion to gain policy concessions or angle for a key appointment. They know very well that if they succeed in pulling away even a moderate fraction of voters from the Republican presidential candidate (and down-ballot Republican candidates that benefit from straight ticket votes), they likely will had the Democrats the win, since recently the margin of victory in many elections is within a few percent.

A true Republican or conservative would not willingly hand power over to liberal Democrats, who are guaranteed to work against our values. Political suicide is not in our nature, nor condoned in our religious teachings, nor consistent with our Constitution. Leave the futile political statements to those not fortified with a higher purpose.

That would require a Federal deficit of $1,095,000,000,000,000 annually JUST financed by "foreigners"

I think you might have added three extra zeros, just off the top of my head, but even so, that is way too large to be accurate.
