Is Ron Paul taking the anti-war stance to hide his extreme right-wing views?
The man is an idiot. I am a conservative myself, but he still scares me.

Ron Paul is dangerous.
He is capable of gathering the extremists from both sides of the aisle and creating a base out of it...
Can you imagine? The weirdest, most devisive people from both parties coming together to overthrow the Fed and pack up all of our troops from around the Globe and become an isolationist nation???
That's CREEPY!!!
I imagine that the neo-nazi's and the david icke followers would band together in their hatred of reptillian zionists and then we'd be going through another holocaust...

No not an extreme right-wing like the neo-cons. A Constitutionalist. If you had listened to what he said, that the Republicans lost there way and that he wanted to reform the party. It can't get any better then that.
Most the countries on the planet don't have their troops stationed all around the world. Does that make them isolationists?
If the man was so nuts, why would people around the world be so interested in him.
Weather he becomes president or not the revolution still goes on. You can be part of the solution or part of the problem.

many of the anti-conflict circulation grew to become into against the conflict in Iraq - any fool could desire to work out Al Qaeda had training in Afganistan and Bin encumbered lived there (and in all probability nonetheless does). Obama has pulled out of Iraq specifically, and is taking the combat to the Taliban and Al Qaeda - an somewhat small team has a issue with that, if each individual.

His stance is hard to define as either right or left. Paul's ideology stems from the foundation of the country not having any foreign entanglements that would lead to war. It points to terrorism's effect on American soil due to America's support of Israel. He wants decisions of individual rights such as abortion, gay marriage, to be returned to the states. You may remember that Pat Buchanan had this exact same platform in 1996 and 2000. The two party system is a failure.

Saying you are a conservative any more doesn't mean much. I was a Goldwater conservative but that definition of conservative no longer exists. Conservative these days means spending like a drunken pirate on war and giving Big Business CEO s a blank check to export jobs and cheat their stock holders in exchange for $100,000 or more in campaign contributions.

He is not extreme right. He is a Libertarian he actually is known as doctor No because if it isn't in the constitution he doesn't vote for it. He is nuts on his foreign policy . I like Fred but i don't think he can get the nomination. Mitt is my second choice. The Republicans have offered up many qualified men. The Dem's have no experience at all in the race.

you sound more like the idiot, he is on the
Committee on Financial Services
Ranking Member - Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade and Technology
Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation
Committee on Foreign Affairs
Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight
Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere
Joint Economic Committee
so his ideals have a little more credibility than your opinion ,
but it is your opinion
and mine is that he is the only one worth voting for

Ron is, however, the best and smartest man that I've noticed among the candidates.
It's just so pity that not all Americans are smart enough to understand him.

Its funny how both liberals and conservatives are claiming that he is the opposite...
I'm a liberal by the way.
But yeah, his views are pretty scary.
I think he is trying to appeal to voters as all the fun of a Republican, except he will admit the war was wrong... or something. I do know that many of his views are much more insane then the views of Republicans. (From my perspective of course)
Edit: Carolina... where do you get off saying that Democrats have offered no good candidates? Republicans have McCain and Romney... the rest are hacks... or don't have enough support at least... while the Democrats have 3 viable candidates, each one of which is capable of doing a good job.

Just because he prefers peace instead of war doesn't make him a fanatic anti-war nut job.
