He knows Government works either for good or bad. That is why he is a constitutionalist. Government in its proper roll constrained by a constitution (direction from the governed is good). Government out of control, doing as it pleases in spite of the constitution is bad.
He is not a defeatist. He is a talk softly carry a big stick constitutionalist. He thinks we should be kicking Osamas but in Afganistan/Pakistan not securing our oil interest in Iraq.

The difference is his record he isn't just speaking he is doing. Big difference! He says that about Bush II illustrating the point that we have been lied to and will continue to get the same unless we elect a different type. Walker as well as talker.

Dennis Kucinich - even for real.
I.e. not with a long pinnocchio nose and
RP's propaganda AGAINST net neutrality.
As well AGAINST amber alerts and better
protection from pedophiles. (Partisan attitude?)
DK got no tolerance for tax dodgers
and other asoical elements though,
I will give you that point.

Ron Paul may have a shot as an independent. But his first debate ruined it for him to be a Republican nominee. I mean the idiot basically said that we deserved 9/11 because of the way we treat muslims! What a crock!

Bush the 3rd- Ron Paul. Check out Bush's debates in 2000. I voted Bush when he sounded like how Bush sounds today.

This is the man we need to have as President!. Ron Paul will return the country to the values under which it was founded that are expressed in the Constitution!

And this is also the guy who wants our troops deaths in Iraq to mean nothing. He is another defeatist who would love to end the war with our enemies and the enemies of freedom being the winners.
