An Excellent Candidate
At the most recent Republican debate, Congressman Ron Paul was asked: “Do you believe the president needs authorization of Congress to attack strategic targets in Iran’s nuclear facilities?”
Paul insisted: “Absolutely... Why don’t we just open up the Constitution and read it? You’re not allowed to go to war without a declaration of war... The thought that the Iranians could pose an imminent attack on the United States is preposterous. This is just war propaganda, continued war propaganda, preparing this nation to go to war and spread this war not only in Iraq, but into Iran, unconstitutionally. It is a road to disaster for us as a nation. It’s a road to our financial disaster if we don’t read the Constitution once in a while.”
When Rep. Ron Paul was asked: “Do you promise to support the nominee of the Republican Party next year?”
He replied: “Not right now I don’t. Not unless they’re willing to end the war and bring our troops home. And not unless they are willing to look at the excess in spending. No, I’m not going to support them if they continue down the path that has taken our party down the tube. I mean, we’ve lost credibility because of all our spending, because we have violated the civil liberties of all the American people, and we have adopted the Democrats’ foreign policy. Why don’t they run on a humble foreign policy of no nation-building and don’t police the world? Then I’ll support them.”
Concerning the economy Dr. Paul said: “We have to have a sound economy, and we don’t. We’re overtaxed. We’re over-regulated. And our prosperity is slipping. We are overextended overseas. You can’t have a prosperous economy at home when you’re spending all the money overseas. You can’t even have a strong national defense if you’re spending all this money overseas in wars that we’re not winning.
So, if we want a prosperous economy here, we have to change these policies and we can’t be bailing out farmers, this is just the wrong way to go. The taxpayers pay for the subsidiaries, and then they pay for higher prices when they buy the gasoline or buy the food; it never works.
It’s sad that the Republican Party is so dominated by Neocons, that we will not have an opportunity to vote for Dr. Paul in 2008.
