Sleuth: If you were to defy the polls and the odds and win the nomination, who would be your running mate?
Paul: Well, I don't know, but if I won, you know, I'd want a recount. You know, lets be certain about what's going on here.
But a running mate. Somebody like Walter Williams. Walter Williams is a very good economist. John Stossel, John Stossel would be good. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2007/05/do_tell_ron_paul_on_babies_pro.html
Thank you so very much for your lasting contribution to Internet forum journalism. On behalf of the Politics Forum Editorial Staff, please accept my sincerest congratulations!
If Ron Paul runs again after this election when you folks are discussing who is going to canvass which websites you might want to send some hunters to hunters websites.
It is a good idea to send people to spread the word on the issues but have people that can actually do it, because you fail at it.
It's obvious you folks googledsites where you thought you could get people to consider Paul as a legit candidate. He does vote for gun rights etc, but from what I've seenyoufolks fail miserably with getting the message across.

Border Security and Immigration Reform
The talk must stop. We must secure our borders now. A nation without secure borders is no nation at all. It makes no sense to fight terrorists abroad when our own front door is left unlocked. This is my six point plan:
[ul][*]Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals. [/ul]
I thought a plan, involved telling people how you are going to do things. I hear this all the time,tell me how.
[ul][*]Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas. [/ul]
I agree, are you going to elarge the dept. of Immagration to do this.
[ul][*]No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That"s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws. [/ul]
So what are you going to do with the ones that are already here?
[ul][*]No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services. [/ul]
I agree
[ul][*]End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong. [/ul]
Thought this was a Constitutional right? Any other parts he doesn't like that he wants to change?
[ul][*]Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods. [/ul]
Pass immagration reform, so what's the meat here and how will you get it passed?

War and Foreign Policy
The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.
Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women.
We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution.
Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations.
Too often we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised. Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihadists themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden. We armed and trained them, and now we"re paying the price.
At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.
Why does he not mention Afghanistan. What did he really say about what his foreign policy would be? I don't see what he is going to do here do you?
