Actually, you're wrong about that. Every candidate Wants to end the war immediately. It's just that Ron Paul is the only one naive enough to think that it's a viable option (and Dennis Kucinich, too, I think). Even Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have admitted that they wouldn't be able to bring the troops home "right away".

That's not true. All most all of if not all of the candidates want to end the war immediately. Ron Paul is the only one that can't see what negative consequences will more than likely happen if we do. Tucking our tails and running is not an option. That is what the bad guys want us to do.

Yes, he does. I don't know if he's the only one, but he's certainly the one with the most credibility on the issue. He voted against going into Iraq in the first place. He believes that we should concentrate on taking out Osama bin Laden, which makes perfect sense to me. After all, Saddam had nothing at all to do with 9/11. Let's fight one war at a time.
Paul also understands economics enough to recognize what this war is doing to our financial well-being. Between this enormously expensive war and our own mortgage crisis, we may yet plunge into a major dollar crisis.

Ron Paul wanted to end the war immediately which is against his party issue of supporting the war.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

You are wrong. War was DECLARED by our CONGRESS during WW2 and we won. Since then the US has not Declared War on anyone and thus havent won. Hince, Iraq, Vietnam and other UN mandated wars. Ron Paul would leave it up to Congress to decide to go to war. The President should not have that much power according to our Constitution. Know your facts before you regurgatate your ignorance.

you are not correct. Obama wants to end the war immediately and pull out our troops.

If Ron Paul had his way, we'd go back in time and never invade Europe, because Germany didn't want us there. And actually, no, he's not. John Kerry wanted the same thing; he was a candidate.

Yes. Well, maybe Dennis too, but Paul has a much larger following.

YES!
Ron Paul believes in Peace on Earth & Goodwill Towards Mankind.
How many other candidates can say that, and how many current political office holders WANT that???
