I'll post here, since you are already registered over there :)

I will check out his website as well, but some of the Paul supporters who frequent the locker room seem pretty knowledgeable so I wanted to your know opinions.

1. To the best of your knowledge will Ron Paul: Increase the size of the US Military, Keep the size of the US Military at about the level it currently is, or decrease the size of the US military?
(understand that I am not referring to military spending based on any current conflicts, but I am referring to his plans for our Armed Forces in general..troops,bases,equipment,planes,ships..whic hever forms of armament apply to the force in general)
``````````
We have over 700 military bases in ~130 countries. When Ron Paul uses the word 'Empire' he is very accurate.

Our ability to protect American land is weakened because we have way too many troops all over the world. Ron Paul would strengthen our actual defense by eliminating foolish, aggressive military spending and action overseas.


````````````````````````````````````
2. To the best of your knowledge,how would you define Ron Paul's "non interventionist" view on Foreign Policy(if you would even call it that)?
I'm not concerned as much as it applies to Terrorism, but as it applies to US interests abroad. Does he have a proactive plan to deal with modern, aggressive and sophisticated tactics that may be used by other growing nations.

``````````
Free trade with all nations.

This is a powerful, "non interventionist" view on Foreign Policy


````````````````````````````````````

3. Domestic Security. In the event that staying away from the bee hive doesn't work, and if we are hypothetically attacked within our own borders again in a way that effects our country and it's mindset like 9/11 did...how will Ron Paul deal with this; to the best of your knowledge? Or has he considered that just getting out of the middle east won't work?

``````````
Rudy G was proven wrong.
The root cause of 911 (according to the 911 commission, Ron Paul, and our CIA) is 'blow-back' from our aggressive foreign policy.

When we eliminate the root cause of the attacks, we will not be in danger.

Important: Google "Swiss are neutral" (or similar) and find out:

1) The last time they were in a war, and
2) Their history of being free from terror attacks.


````````````````````````````````````

4. What Leadership qualities does Ron Paul exhibit that make you believe he would be an effective President? Concentrate on effectiveness, not intelligence level or ideas, or vision.

``````````
He has huge numbers of people excited about returning America to greatness through real, individual freedom. :)
This is a strong form of leadership.

I hope I've helped.

1- Ron Paul will build our armed forces by NOT USING our weapons in agressive war. He will OPEN bases HERE that were closed by Clinton and Bush. He will reallocate defense spending TO DEFENSE. Missle defense will get more funding not more European placement. He will improve voluntary recruitment OVERNIGHT! Veterans will get better healthcare, AND better pensions.

"Peace is not the absence of conflict. It is the ability to handle conflict through peaceful means” – Ronald Reagan

“Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country”- Ronald Reagan

2- If I was Dr Pauls campaign manager I would change the words "Noninterventialist" (7 syllables) to the definition "Non militant free trade" (6 syllables)

3- Stop shipping troops and guns, and start shipping FOOD and CLOTHING. Christians in Jordan, Pakistan, and Iran are not constantly in fear of weak minded suicide terrorists.

4- Honesty, and Consistency. He has NEVER waffled on ANYTHING. He has the same qualifications that James Madison had. MORE than Abraham Lincoln. Giuliani? PULEEEZE

IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!
