Re: Ron Paul: Third-party power or GOP kingmaker?

I think Dr. Paul is absolutely clueless as to what the foreign policy
of the US is at this time....or the last 50+ years as well.

Well, shit... so am I !!! I know what they are doing and have done. I
have yet to see a single positive result from the trillions spent. I
have yet to see anything positive actually accomplished... In all this
time I have yet to see a single actual, tangible benefit to the
average US citizen.

Meanwhile the only actual threat to US soil (Mexican police are
actually allowed to operate inside our borders and the cartels are
supplied with US weapons by the US Government) comes from our Southern
border and it is absolutely ignored.

So, clueless or naive (deficient in worldly wisdom or informed
judgment)????? I think not. I think he understands it all too well and
approaches it as a true patriot and constitutionalist.
