Here is a good article that puts last nights debate into a real sense. Stop listening to fox news...they only people troubled by Ron Paul last night is the last 20% or so of the republican party that loves endless wars and only listens to fox news. People are awake now and we know what is going on.

After 10 years of Iraq it is hard for anyone to not want to examine threats before jumping to a conclusion. No need to be worried about the exchange last night...most people with common sense know we can't jump into another war.

"This is why I have endorsed Paul as well. I am voting for peace, not war; for restraint, not excess; and for civil liberties, not authoritarianism. In Paul, and in no other candidate save Gary Johnson, I see these qualities. We need leaders who will steer us toward peace and prosperity, not more military adventures in the Middle East."

Some here seem to forget that Paul's anit-war policy is the heart and soul of his platform. It's the reason many of us are here supporting him and the reason he can win.

Watching these war mongers and the war mongers who love them is tryly a scary sight to behold.. Then 5 minutes later they start chirping about the sanctity of life.. I feel like its watching a bad remake of One Flew over the Cukoos nest.

Exactly! I may be a single issue voter. I want the murder or people via "wars" to end. I will only support candidates who are anti war and strong defense. America could truly be a monster of a nation in terms of strength if we stopped spreading ourselves so thin. And we would command more respect in the world, thus helping trade and business. And we would be much more economically stable if we weren't borrowing trillions to finance these offensive wars.

And a strong defense consists of the American people being armed and able to fend for themselves, with a advanced military using technology to monitor for threats on the border. Submarines patroling the coast, drones surveying the border, its fine, as long as the rights of Americans or the accused are never violated.

FYI, this guy endorsed Ron Paul yesterday in another article. He was getting destroyed on Twitter by his Obot followers. He's a real anti-war person. It was amazing watching him explain his position and having the liberal attack him with stuff like "how can you support someone that hates poor people"?. His answers were great "How can you support someone that hates poor people in other nations?".

I had to come to his defense.

The "exchange" last night is on Fox Nation and they are talking about it on Fox News last night.

I am seeing a lot of people do the same: Call Paul names, etc.

We must get articles such as these out into the open. Send them to your email lists and through Facebook, a.s.a.p.

Fox just played the clip and said he has "very strong isolationist views".

How can we make this into a meme?

“The CIA has explained it to us. It said they come here and they want to do us harm because we are bombing them! What is the whole world about the drone being in Iran? And we’re begging and pleading and how are we going to start a war to get the drone back? Why were we flying a drone over Iran? Why do we have to bomb so many countries?"

You know, I can understand why Ron Paul comes off as being a crazy uncle. When I see his words in text, it's very difficult to make sense of it. Fortunately, I understand what he's saying, and I also understand how it feels to be up in public trying to explain complex situations in a very short period of time. You mix up your words, start a new sentence without finishing the other all in an effort to try to give as full of an explanation as you possibly can.

I love this man, but dumbing down his philosophy for the sake of simplicity is not one of his talents.

EDIT: One of the best interviews I've seen him do is an hour and a half long, and he explained a great deal of his beliefs in a very concise manner.

thank you for phrasing so well. We cannot continue to allow our children to be used and be killed in these endless wars that achieve nothing except getting this country bankrupt. We must stand up for our youths.

I just want to back up my post with some action.
