Answer 1

I would go with Ron Paul at least for the primaries, we know he is going into office with the intention of ending the war and strengthening our security here (with him it will be a process too but, it won’t be as long as the other candidates and our economy won’t suffer as much). Hillary Clinton already stated that she could not promise to have the troops out by 2013, she could only confirm to have them out by 2018. And don't forget it was her past judgment that got is into this mess. She voted in favor of entering Iraq, Paul didn’t.

And then “Clinton voted against the Levin Amendment to the Resolution, which would have required the President to conduct vigorous diplomacy at the U.N., and would have also required a separate Congressional authorization to unilaterally invade Iraq. She did vote for the Byrd Amendment to the Resolution, which would have limited the Congressional authorization to one year increments, but the only mechanism necessary for the President to renew his mandate without any Congressional oversight was to claim that the Iraq War was vital to national security each year the authorization required renewal.) Clinton later said that she did not read the full classified National Intelligence.”

And now she has repeated the same mistake again by labeling a sovereign nation’s military (Iran) a terrorist organization.

"The designation of the IRG was extraordinary for two reasons. First, we had never before designated the uniformed, organized military of a sovereign state as a terrorist organization. Second, the designation of the IRG as a terrorist organization completely flies in the face of administration’s characterization of terrorist groups in the debate over the applicability of the Geneva Conventions. At that time, the administration argued that because terrorist groups do not wear uniforms and are not affiliated with a sovereign state they are not entitled to various protections of the Geneva Conventions extended to military groups."

"This is so absurd on its face that bush needed affirmation from the Congress. It is a position so utterly contradictory of the definition of terrorism that bush need congressional affirmation in order to forestall criticism from congress in the future that bush’s designation of the IRG as a terrorist organization was a brazen end-run around the right of congress to approve military action against sovereign states.

The Kyl-Lieberman resolution was even more pernicious than the Iraq AUMF, which was itself a farce insofar as it permitted bush to launch war upon the certification of various matters that, as of March 19, 2003, were flatly contrary to fact."

From her past mistakes and current ones, it’s become obvious that her foreign policy ideas are dangerous, not to mention we don’t have the economy to carry them out.

If it came down to her and another republican besides Ron Paul in the general election, then yes I would have no choice but to vote for her. But America deserves a clear and definite exit strategy out of Iraq, which she hasn’t been able to provide, not to mention she is very pro amnesty… and what about social security (it is going bankrupt and may be privatized) and taxes ? Do you really want to elect someone in office that dodges all the questions you ask? In the end it’s your call, but if you actually want a see change in this country and have a system that works for you.. then vote for Ron, if you want the same old establishment candidate that is backed by corporations, interest groups and lobbyists then I guess Hillary is your girl!

Answer 2

Good question. But tough decision? No.. It's a pretty clear choice. It's like trying to pick between Sea Biscuit and War General (if you have seen the movie Sea Biscuit)..

Ron Paul is Sea Biscuit, and Hillary Clinton is War General..

But Ron Paul is Sea Biscuit before he bacame famous. Most people would vote for the War General, who is the media darling, the popular candidate. Ron Paul is the unsung hero, yet to be discovered.

Their backgrounds are very different - so different, they are polar opposites... in every way.

Answer 3

Ron Paul all the way! Clinton is nothing but a loud mouth liberal. And she is pro-amnesty, which is unacceptable to me. The illegals need to leave and not come back- ever. No guest-worker program or any of that other garbage. Ron Paul is the only candidate that is truly for America. He cares about us as people, and as a country. And he is pro-life, which is a wonderful thing.

Answer 4

Paul palms down Clinton isnt even an selection unhappy state affairs while the greater serious Republican is greater advantageous than the perfect Democrat occasion member My prefernce is a third occasion candidate that cares soley with regard to the yank human beings id prefer to need me solid success in looking that one man or woman

Answer 5

Ron Paul!!!!!!!!
Hillary and all of the others disturb me. THey're like something out of the Communist Manifesto.
Ron Paul is for us and , in a way, follows Roosevelt's theory of "Walk softly and Carry a big stick". He is a candidate who will be for the people at all times. ANd his voting record shows that. CHeck him out thoroughly. and don't listen to the Mainstream Media. They're only interested in getting the candidate that they like nominated.
go to his site, http://www.ronpaul.com

Answer 6

Ron Paul. Hillary is a Socialist. No on Hillary.

Answer 7

If you believe in Ron Paul, maybe because he wants a swift end to war in Iraq, go there. If you might look at this link. In your polls John McCain is strong vs Hillary. She is most likely the Democrat who will move forward. Thanks!
