I could care less if hes wants to be a member of the KKK and loves seeing hate crimes against gays.(Even though all of the things said about him are views exxagerated by liberal media and not true)
I just want someone who can run the country right and get us out of this hole.
The problem with Ron Paul's foreign policy positions is that he assumes that this country's current foreign policy creates the major security threats against us. Our mere existence antagonizes groups like al Qaeda. Our popular culture, our system of government, our religious traditions - everything that we take for granted fuels Muslim religious fanatics' hatred of our nation. Dr. Paul believes that if we just mind our own business, the threat of radical Islam will just disappear. Even the Muslim-friendly Barack Hussein Obama has come to realize that the extreme Pollyanna approach is not an effective national security strategy.
I like most of Dr. Paul's positions but I just do not believe that he is electable. His supporters are very enthusiastic but there are many, many Republicans who would just stay home rather than vote for a libertarian isolationist in 2012 and the poor turn out would kill his election chances. That being said, I will enthusiastically support Ron Paul if he wins the nomination but I don't see it happening and I hope that it doesn't.
