This loser believes America is responsible for the fanatical hatred of the Islamic radicals that attacked us. He blames us because we put bases in the Middle East at the bequest of several governments (Kuwaitt, Saudi Arabia, and Oman). His blaming America first for trying to do good in a difficult region is pathetic and very libertarian isolationist - not conservative. Conservatives believe in free trade, capitalism and this loser wants us to hide in our shell and wait for the extremist of the world to attack.

He's NOT a Conservative and I don't understand all the hype he gets on line, especially here! People keep claiming he will win, even though he has about 3% of the vote. Other say he won the MEANINGLESS Iowa straw poll when even his web site stated that he came in 5th. He came in 3rd in the Texas straw poll but none of the top candidates were even in this MEANINGLESS poll.
I will NOT waste my vote on a candidate that can not win!

"This loser"
Right off the bat I can see your arguement won't be very strong.
" believes America is responsible for the fanatical hatred of the Islamic radicals that attacked us."
He was saying a non-isolationists foreign policy is the reason why there is attacks on American soil. What we really need to do is just leave a lot of the world alone and not worry about them and focus on us.
"He blames us because we put bases in the Middle East at the bequest of several governments (Kuwaitt, Saudi Arabia, and Oman). "
Those bases costs us too much money and are generally a waste of our time. Do you really think we need bases in France, UK, Germany, etc..?? We need to spend that money here.
"His blaming America first for trying to do good in a difficult region is pathetic and very libertarian isolationist"
Well he IS a Liberarian isolationists. And don't pretend isolationism never worked. Do you wonder how America BECAME a superpower in the first place? Its from Isolationism!
" - not conservative. "
Actually Libertarians are fierecly conservative and against Liberalism, Socialism, and Communism.
"Conservatives believe in free trade,"
Ron Paul believes in TRUE Free trade, not the kind we have now.
" capitalism"
Uhhh... he clearly is a Capitalists, since he has said it on MANY occasions.

A Fox information conservative is a neo conservative. Fox information conservatives are fake. Ron Paul conservatives are genuine. yet i could say that Ron Paul has the toughest stance on remote places coverage out of any candidate. the different applicants recommend for conflict and nonsense militarism. Ron Paul advocates for international family and that as quickly as we are attacked we bypass to congress, get an announcement, we get in and win, then get out. That way we get the activity executed even as saving lives and saving money. Ron Paul is a real conservative, something of the GOP applicants are fake.

Ron Paul is a real conservative. His positions on nearly every issue are the same as those of George Washington. How much more conservative can you get than fighting against almost any changes that have happened in the last 200 years?
He is the most pro-capitalism candidate in the race. He believes in free trade, but not free trade agreements that make new bureaucracies.

Well unlike your conservatives, Ron Paul actually practices free trade and capitalism. Ron Paul also obeys the law by following the Constitution.

Ron Paul is not a pacifist.
He believes that when a war must be fought, it must be fought to protect the citizens, be declared by Congress, planned out, won and then left.
Paul spoke and voted against the Iraq War Resolution,[13][14] which authorized the war, and continues to condemn the US presence in Iraq, and what he charges is the use of the War on Terror to curtail civil liberties. His position is that if the country was going to go to war because of the September 11 attacks, it should have been with the actual perpetrators of the war, al Qaeda, rather than with Iraq, which had no connection to the attacks.[15] He believes that if a war is sought, it must be fully approved by Congress with a complete declaration of war, which would allow total resources to be dedicated to victory; this did not happen for the Iraqi invasion.

go away you anti-american conspiracy theorist.
Ron Paul doesn't blame America for fanatical hatred of the Islamic radicals. He blames American foreign policy for not taking steps to curb their influence years ago and in some instances create policies that discriminates against some regions
You guys have been blaming Bill Clinton for this for years. Yet when Ron Paul ,a republican, points out the same thing, all of a sudden these policies become "blame america"

Read much Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity lately? Please the conservatives are no longer conservatives...hell they are making the Democrats look like liberals (you know they seem more like socialists to me..but). So far Bushy boy has.
a. Made government bigger (TSA, Homeland Security, etc don't know of a "true" conservative who would do that.)
b. Taken away more of your privacy (you know that law called the Patriot act? It means anyone in the federal government who "suspects" you can go after your record on such "suspicion"..can you say ABUSE!
c. Costs us billion in a stupid war we never should have gotten in ..and don't give me that "better over there than over here" crap, they are STILL killing Americans buddy.
d. Free trade? More like Ripoff everyone you can trade..Ron Paul understands that is NOT free trade.
e. Ron Paul believes in Capitalism as well, not in corporate greed or favoritism (or Crony ism) like Bushy boy has done.
Ron Paul says if they attack we attack double with force, but as long as we keep putting our nose in a region which obviously will never stabilize on it's own we will never get out of it. It doesn't matter when we leave Iraq, it will be a mess regardless..you just do not understand what Bushy boy is all about...like I said before...just follow the money buddy. Don't want to listen to me? Fine. Keep being ignorant. I'll be honest I voted for Bush twice because I thought he would change..but after all the stuff I found out...I think would like to retract my vote and would rather give it John Kerry than this sorry excuse of a president. The worse of it all, he calls it patriotism! Makes me sick!

Because true conservatives believe in lower taxes, SMALLER Federal government, states rights and personal freedoms, and a non-nation building foreign policy.
So does Ron Paul.
Do not confuse so called "Moral values" with being politically conservative.
