Maybe he is not so bad after all?
Even disagreeing with Ron Paul on 90% of everything he believes, his stance on the Wars puts him head and shoulders above all other Republicans in my opinion.
Ron Paul said:Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part of the American tradition.

Cliches about supporting the troops are designed to distract from failed policies, policies promoted by powerful special interests that benefit from war, anything to steer the discussion away from the real reasons the war in Iraq will not end anytime soon.

Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.
EDIT: And actually let me add, probably most Democrats as well.
Just had to quote this so people see this againso what are they going to cut? they going to leave our troops without funds?
How about closing down all of these foreign bases we have for starters that we don't need anymore?
That certainly will up the number of unemployment compensation checks. Good fucking show. Pay more unemployment decrease our strength. Good fucking show.
So now you're supportive of government spending to keep people employed?
nice try waldo, but no cigar.
Oh, they will probably have jobs to return to...................
Just cut taxes and we will have more jobs than we can fill.
if that were true, 10 years of tax cuts for the "job creators" (i.e., rich people) would have increased jobs.
yes, but you dumb asses left out the part of leaving us weaker militarily.
but that isn't what rand wants, is it?
Why isn't it?
because rand, like his father, claims that if we just don't upset terrorists, they'll be nice to us.
that is naive and dangerous.

Well we may try not killing so many people in the middle east..and leave their governments alone to make their own decisions.
See where it goes from there.
You can't cut spending without cutting the military. Anyone who claims they're going to cut spending without cutting military is lying.

I wonder why nobody attacks Switzerland?

Decrease our strength? With all of our strength, paying out more for our military than any other three nations in the world, we became mired in the occupation of a small nation of only 25 million people. And totally lost control of the situation.
Perhaps what we need is a lot less military and a lot more wisdom in our use of it.
If we are to cut services to citizens in this nation, there should be a least an equal percentage cut to the military.
A major problem with our system of government is the kick-back game. In order for a politician to make a buck under the table he must waste twenty, which is the reason for all the wasteful, redundant and inefficient items in the Budget.What we should be doing is going line by line through every part of the Budget and looking to cut, Wasteful, Redundant, and inefficient items out of it. Defense included.
It is my belief we could save from 20 to 40% on our entire budget simply buy cutting programs that are not really essential and or are wasteful or redundant.
