Ron Paul is critiquing Bush's foreign policy gaffes and talking about how he opposed the war because he is a non-interventionist. He mentioned PNAC too, and how they are so wrong about the Middle east.

1. He said that having the troops come home |
|
does NOT mean that you hate the troops. He makes such good points.

4. He made another good point |
|
He compared us occupying the middle east to, say, China coming over here to protect their oil in Mexico, and setting up bases in Florida and Texas, and the Chinese trying to teach us to adopt their values.
Non-internventionism is a good idea, like he said.

5. Ron Paul votes against pay increases |
|
And never uses his entire office budget. He returns the remainder to the Treasury.

Which means no one in the Wal Mart Nation will hear a word about it on the evening newsminute.

He was the Libertarian party's presidential candidate two times, I think. Some of the Libertarian party stuff is kind of wacky, like privatizing the interstate highway system, but Ron Paul usually makes sense. He sounds more like on Democrat than a Republican.

12. You'll change your mind about that |
|
when you hear him talk about how the prescription drug benefit is bad or the threat of socialized health care. ;-)

Sounds reasonable on foreign policy, or at least in his speech today.
