Good ad . . . weak candidate. How can we possibly trust a guy who supported Hillarycare and Al Gore?

I can't.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that I trust. The only one who will get my vote.

Great post. It's nice to see that there are thinking people out there.

Let me summarize your position . . .

Clearly all Americans are perfect and we have never made any mistakes. Our politicians make wonderful foreign policy decisions that people the world over should appreciate. If they don't appreciate the decisions of our politicians then we should democratize them using our world class military.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Paul is not "laying blame" he is trying to help you understand that we need to stop trying to police the world. We're broke and it makes us LESS secure. Remember that he wrote the legislation to assassinate Bin Laden . . . hardly the work of an apologist.

This article is such a lie that it makes me re-think my support for Breitbart. Ron Paul is NOT in the slightest way supporting Al Qaeda, but the neocons who rail against him and mischaracterize his positions certainly are. The purpose of terrorism is not only to make us afraid, but also to get us to lash out and hurt people (which is great for recruiting). You don't need to be a genius to realize that when we kill people in the Middle East, we are going to piss people off. Some of those people are going to try to get revenge. It doesn't excuse their behavior but it's certainly worth understanding instead of sticking your head in the sand and acting like people just hate us because we have flat screen TVs.

You shouldn't believe the bumper stickers. Ron Paul is not at all interested in isolationism. He would, in fact, open up all markets and allow you to decide for yourself who you wanted to do business with. If you call worldwide free trade "isolationism" then it's time to get a new dictionary. In addition to its other benefits, there's a lot of research suggesting that trade reduces war because it's hard to kill somebody who is making your life better (even if you don't like them!).

BTW--America doesn't have a head (as in "head in the sand"), it has 300 million heads and they don't all agree. To think that any human is going to get us all to agree what countries should get our hard earned $ is silly on its face. If you want to support a person, cause, or country, you should be able to do that, but you shouldn't be forced to do it as we are now. I wouldn't give a dime to Egyptian dictators but our leaders see fit to dole out my cash for causes that I actively oppose. Ron Paul would end all of this and let you support those who you wanted to support. Again, hardly "isolationism."

That is such a lie . . . you should be embarrassed.

Dr. Paul has the strongest and smartest foreign policy ideas out there. Get us out of all of these useless wars, get our troops back where they are safe, trade freely as individuals (i.e., you don't need 2000 page treaties for "free" trade), stop stealing our money and giving it to other tyrannies (i.e., if you want to give aid then do so . . . it's not that difficult). He wrote an entire book on foreign policy which tracks over thirty years of disastrous decisions. I'd be okay if you said that you disagree with his foreign policy but please don't say that he doesn't have one.

Even if you're successful in getting rid of the man, his ideas will win . . . freedom over statism, capitalism over socialism, the individual over the collective.

So I take it you didn't read the research on the "myth of the gateway drug"? I could forgive your earlier posts as ignorance, but now your just being intellectually lazy. That's okay though because your vein popping, incoherent rambling is still oddly entertaining.
