Refusing to use military action when a country is getting raped and pillaged is not necessarily an immoral act. The lions share of governmental compassion should be reserved for the people of the country. We are all over the world getting involved in the domestic affairs other countries and going bankrupt in the meantime. The most compassionate thing and moral thing a leader can do is save his own people. We are currently borrowing $1bill a month to fund our policing actions and we cannot afford to do it any longer. We are on the verge of bankruptcy.
He is against continuing the war... how does that equate to a reticence to do anything about terrorism? Apparently Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, and the root cause of violence toward our country is our foreign policy. If we really want to end aggression toward ourselves, we must change our foreign policy. We hear lines like "They hate us because of our freedom" and "They want to kill us for our way of life" This is propaganda. Our own intelligence tells us that this aggression is resulting blow back from our meddling foreign policy. (research operations Ajax and Gladio for a couple examples)
Ron Paul has more understanding of economics, foreign policy and populist philosophy than any other candidate out there.
A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for America

You know what? im not strongly against Ron Paul like i am against Hillary Clinton. He really isnt that bad.
Mitt Romney is better because he is more moral and a better economist. Other than that i dont have much against Ron Paul, he is a good conservative and would perserve this country if elected. If he got nomination i would vote for him, and i think i could trust him too. But Romney is truly my vote.
my vote is going to.
1.Romney
2.Guilliani
3.Ron Paul
4.McCain
5.Fred Thompson
i cant argue Guilliani and Ron Paul on too many issues because im ok with most of them. I can say alot about McCain and Thompson tho.
some moral things are, he was against the war even after 9/11. why should that go unpunished?
he never denied this question and was asked over and over again that if a poor country was getting raiped, murdered and pillaged would you do nothing about it. He said we have done it before!!.
There are other things i could bring up. but i could trust him with the preservation and protection of this country.

Ron Paul wants to de-fund the military and do nothing about terrorism just for starters. That should be enough to keep the isolationist off the ballot. A no vote for Ron Paul is a yes vote for America.

According to the latest polls, Ron Paul gets about 2% of the vote for the republican primaries. Far ahead are Guliani, Romney and Thompson. Why do people on YA keep bringing this man's name up? Don't you realize he has absolutely no chance of getting the nomination? He's also said some pretty wacky things which are bordeline racist, so he's hardly a savior.

I just started researching all the candidates last night.
I truly haven't made up my mind at all.
I liked what he had to say and the fact that he seems consistent and has remained so throughout his political career.
I'm still on the fence tho, and likely to remain that way until after the general election.
