Makes more sense to elect Ron Paul than it did to elect George Bush. At least this man has the people's good in mind and actually has a mind. I think he is trustworthy.

What I've heard Ron Paul say on an audio tape was:
"We marched right in without an invitation, we can march right out.
You see he's recognizing Iraq as a soveriegn nation. Because the U.S. unstabilized the former country of Iraq when it overthrew their government, causing a three way civil war.
It's costing the U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars a day to stay in Iraq with no clear cut plan to stabalize the country. Should we just occupy Iraq until the mainland U.S. goes bankrupt, or should we start a gradual pull out, as Ron Paul has suggested, to bring our troops home to protect our own borders?
The question is: What is the FINAL goal in Iraq? I haven't seen or heard anyone, including Bush, say anything definite about this.

Good question, you would have to ask the Paul champaign people that. But how hard can it be? You are president; you order the pentagon to pack up shop; war ends. Iraq is like Vietnam: it is not winnable and may not have been planned to be winnable. In effect it is a giant corporate welfare program that operates under the guise of 'National Security". IMHO.

This is obviously something you would have to ask the Ron Paul group. However, I think he is one of the few Republicans that wants to end this war. In fact, he maybe one of the few people on either side of the Isle that wants it over.

He really doesn't have a plan, per se. He is a strict non-interventionist who doesn't want the US entangled in foreign affairs. He basically just wants an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. He believes in self-determination for all nations and civil liberties. He really is all about freedom. Whether you think his nonagression towards the middle east is good or bad is up to you to decide.

Ron Paul has fine principles and believes in following the Constitution, but he is has NO original thinking ability and no strategy. It would be CRAZY to elect him.

because he has no plan. he says that he'll get the troops out, but doesn't know how he'd do it. joe biden's plan got 75 votes in the senate. he can bring the troops home while not leaving iraq in complete chaos.

Because nobody can clearly understand what he's actually saying?
