[Myerz]

I still want to hear RP directly though.

I will say this as a libertarian Venezuelan living abroad: Ron Paul is right on how to deal with Chávez. Most of venezuelans living abroad just want to see the marines landing in La Guaira and taking Chávez out, i.e., they want the US to do the job they have refused to do themselves.

What they don't understand is that much fof the anti-americanism that fuels Chávez's support is due to continous US intervention in our business. I mean, just last week Chavez lost a referendum on changing the constitution and one of the first things he said was that this was a Bush victory and many of his followers believe him! With Ron Paul in the White House and a non-interventionist foreign policy the likes of Chávez would be disarmed completely when they try to blame their failures on the US.

And of course, that would greatly help those of us who want to see our countries embrace the ideals of individual freedom, free markets and limited government.

Right on bro. I wonder if these people ever ask themselves why Castro is still in power and why Chavez has grown so powerful.

el burrow de el hombre ellos jamada Ron Paul dije que la vacca sobre la luna esta muy bueno.

The donkey of the man they called Ron Paul said the cow over the moon is very good?

[Duckman]

So the Chavez/Castro boos were kinda intense. Did anyone who watch the whole debate see any candidate get more intense boos than that? I am curious.

I am happy Ron posed the Cuba question directly in the heart of South Florida, where support for current policy is the strongest, and point out to them the fact that agressive posturing gives dictators something to cling to to stay in power, and that you need to negotiate with your enemies rather than simply attacking or isolating them. Everyone else simply has panded to the current viewpoint for votes, unless someone else agreed with Paul at the debate(?)

[Tsoman]

I think Ron Paul did very well in this debate. I do wish I could have seen the reactions that the other candidates got to be able to gauge how he was doing in comparison.

His most popular points seemed to have been the one about keeping the federal government out of linguistic affairs, and opposing a national id card.

[Goldwater Conservative]

He did very well tonight, didn't pander like the others did (the others were all fishing for easy applause), stood his ground as usual, and it was refreshing to see a format where the moderators were in control (although they didn't give him the rebuttal he deserved after Giuliani lobbed some BS in his direction).

The crowd seemed to love him, except for his position on Venezuela and Cuba, which I expected. What I didn't expect was all the love for English as the national language, cracking down on illegal immigration, and getting out of Iraq. Go figure.

Anyway, I was embarrassed by what was an audience apparently consisting of the many Miami idiots who think embargoes are good and letting countries chart their own course (even if they want to be socialist) is bad. Many of my fellow Hispanics are really just that predictable.

Did everyone notice Ron Paul brought up Cuba after getting booed on Venezuela? Certainly nobody can accuse this man of pandering.

In a more positive light it means there's an opportunity to gain support for Ron Paul. I believe it's mostly a lack of education and just not having really thought it through. Good issue to address.

Goldwater was actually one of the early supporters of an embargo on Cuba.
