RS: Ron Paul on the War
Posted by ryan at 10:34 AM in politics . | 1 Comments
Ron Paul may be an old-school Republican, but no other candidate running for president — in either party — has spoken out against the war in Iraq as bluntly as he has. Sure, the former obstetrician has a goofy nostalgia for the gold standard, not to mention medieval views on abortion and immigration. But his anti-war stance has not only helped him bank more campaign cash than Iraq-backer John McCain, it has garnered him more contributions from military families than any candidate in the race. On November 5th, Paul raised $4.2 million online — a record single-day haul for a GOP presidential candidate. Rolling Stone caught up with the seventy-two-year-old Texan in between votes at his day job in the House of Representatives.

I would refer you to the Constitution Party platform for a clear articulation of his foreign policy views (and many others for that matter - since this is the thinking he is most closely alligned with). http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.php#Foreign%20Policy I definitely respect his position and the reasons for it. Exponentionally more intelligent than most of the anti-war rants we hear, and Constitutionally based. Oh...and this Rolling Stone writer makes me laugh. I didn't know that abortion and immigration were hot issues in midievil times...lol I'd bet more than a few dollars he can't even name his State Representative.
