Patricia I respect your view and concern of Israel so I researched what Senator Pauls Stand on Israel is and what I found is that Senator Paul simply thinks that Israel should not have to or need to ask the US what we think about issues that concern their country and that they have the right to protect their borders and their people without having to ask us first. I don't see where he has made the statement that we should isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. He has said that we need to look at where our foreign aid is going and make sure that it is going to countries that are worthy of our money and not to countries like Pakistan who just gave one of our top secret blackhawks to China. He may be on the extreme side but on the other hand the Libs think everyone in the TP is extreme. As I see it these are desperate times and it is time for some extreme measures. God bless you and God bless America.

You think he could have put a flag emblem on that aweful bus. It doesn't look American at all. Is that the point?

And I do not like his stance on Israel any more than I like Obama's.

I do not believe, we as a country, can become isolationists Steven, and most of Paul's foreign policy heads us firmly in that direction.  We have been the police of the world, which I agree we should not be doing at no charge, but I don't think we can turn that around in a year and Paul is extreme in his stances on national security and national defence.

Patricia, I listened to the video you posted with Ron Paul. The question he was asked was if Israel came under attack by "Iran" would he intervene. He said "no" he would let them handle Iran on there own and I'm sure Israel can handle Iran. Beleive this if Iran thought they could handle Israel on there own they would have tried already. That being said I am sure that if Israel came under attack by a collective of its Arab neighbors there is not an American president in our history that would not help Israel except possibly the present one. And in my view Ron Paul has a rock solid idea of they way this country should be governed. Now the question is, is he electable or can he beat Oboma.

William, the thing is we are a center right country and the founders believed that was the position at which the government operated best in maximized our rights, state's rights and kept things in check.  They also believed that if you went too far to the right, you had anarchy and too far to the left tyranny (which is what we have now).  I am not willing to swap a tyrant for anarchy which is what Mr. Paul represents.  He really is what the libs are screaming about.  A far right extremist.  I understand we need to change the culture in Washington, but it can't happen in one election and then, move us so far to the right, we create an even bigger disaster than we already have with Obama.  I don't want a moderate, but I believe there is someone out there that is to the right of center and has the ability to beat Obama and start the process of disengaging the federal government from our lives and moving the federal government back to what it was intended to be .......   a tool of the states to handle things that were best handled in a uniform manner as in national security, national defence, etc.

I agree William, but this president seems to think he has a right to tell Israel what to do even it would put them in grave danger if they did it.  He is too in bed with the Muslims and the Muslim Brotherhood and favors what they favor (and would wonder how far that might go in relation to this country as well).

Patricia we can speculate but I think Israel has proven they can take care of themselves.  If their back was against the wall then I'm afraid little ole Israel would have pick up a big stick (their nuclear arsenal)to equalize things.  The world would be drawn in to that war no matter what Ron Paul says.  Until then, we need to stay out of their affairs...my opinion.

I appreciate your opinion and I haven't decided who I'll vote for either but when our media through blatant deception doesn't give the facts it upsets me.  I let Fox know about too.  I consider them part of the problem.  Fair and balanced?!  We report you decide! Give me a break!  And Rush is beside himself.  This is the kind of stuff the American people are sick and tired of.  Another thing that's tiring are the pretty boy and girl candidates with no real substance that have the same old business as usual attitudes when they get into office.  They will not beat Obama and in your heart of hearts you might know it too.  In my opinion, they are the ones that are unelectable and if chosen as "the candidate for conservatives" then perhaps we deserve another four years of Obama.  Maybe we'll get it the next time around!  Saw the video you hyperlinked and thought it was a feather in Ron's cap.  Tea Party is split on this one too, I think.  Check this one out; it would be funny if it wasn't true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EY5Ofcxjs0

What does everyone think of Ron Paul's statement that is Israel were attacked by the countries surrounding it, he would not help Israel but leave them to fight and fend for themselves.  Does one wonder if Israel would help us if we needed it?  I already know the answer to that.  They are our friends while the Muslim counties who surround them are not except of course in Obama's head.
