Re: What is wrong with Ron Paul?
Ron Paul has the best foreign policy approach of anybody in Congress: Get out of other country's affairs.
My problem with him is his fundamental domestic policy. He's in favor of a completely unchecked free market with the government's power at the state level, and I believe that an unregulated free market doesn't work and that government power should be mainly at the federal level.

Re: What is wrong with Ron Paul?
Simply put I disagree with Ron Paul that the best way to fight islamic terrorism is to close up our country and rely on repelling attacks. I think we need to kill our enemies before they get here, and encourage the spread of peaceful conditions around the world. I disagree that removing the USA from the rest of the world will stop the spread of Islamic Fascism. They will simply find a new target, one of our allies, and then we're right back in it.

Re: What is wrong with Ron Paul?
the best way to prevent terrorism is thru democracy and social justice--war is the best way to create terrorism and intelligence actions and covert ops is the best way to stop active terroist activity

Most of the other Reps are Council of Foreign Relations members who I don't trust because of things like the NAU. In fact, I think most of the dems are also CFR members. Maybe this is why there isn't much difference between reps and dems these days? Kramer

Re: What is wrong with Ron Paul?
Just a couple of problems I have with Ron Paul are these votes he's made and positions he's taken:
Voted NO on deterring foreign arms transfers to China (Jul 2005) Voted NO on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. (Jan 2007) Voted NO on allowing human embryonic stem cell research. (May 2005) Voted NO on restricting interstate transport of minors to get abortions. (Apr 2005) Voted YES on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999) Opposes the death penalty. (Jan 2007) Voted NO on subjecting federal employees to random drug tests. (Sep 1998) Voted NO on requiring states to test students. (May 2001) Abolish the federal Department of Education. (Dec 2000) Supports a Constitutional Amendment for school prayer. (May 1997) Voted NO on establishing nationwide AMBER alert system for missing kids. (Apr 2003) Voted NO on reforming the UN by restricting US funding. (Jun 2005) Close departments of Energy, Education & Homeland Security. (May 2007) Voted NO on prohibiting lawsuits about obesity against food providers. (Oct 2005) Voted NO on prohibiting product misuse lawsuits on gun manufacturers. (Oct 2005) Voted NO on prohibiting suing gunmakers & sellers for gun misuse. (Apr 2003) DHS is unmanageable bureaucracy--eliminate it. (May 2007) Voted NO on federalizing rules for driver licenses to hinder terrorists. (Feb 2005) End draft registration; all-volunteer forces . (Dec 2000) Immediately work to phase out the IRS. (May 2007) Trusts the Internet a lot more than the mainstream media. (May 2007) There are more, of course, but that's a fair start. Here's the source: Ron Paul On The Issues
