| Ron Paul is the only one of the candidates that can see things as they are. How our beligerant foreign policy is ruinous. In fact, Jam, with your fatalistic attitude, you seem to support policies that will create an Armageddon. This doesn't seem like a good way on which to base a foreign policy. We should work at promoting peace, not war. We can best promote peace by creating a strong defense and engage in free trade and a non-beligerant foreign policy and encourage small countries to form alliances to protect themselves. There is no reason why we have to be the policeman of the world.
You called McCain a patriot. Don't mistake patriotism with jingoism. Ron Paul is more of a patriot because he stands for the principles on which this country was founded. McCain has no regard for the Constitution. He has stated that the President doesn't need approval of Congress to send our country into war, even though it states clearly in the Constitution that only Congress can declare war. His McCain/Feingold legislation is a violation of our First Amendment's guaranty of freedom of speach. Anybody that has no regard for the Constitution is no patriot in my book. |
