it's funny how people's impression = reality. And if people hear the same thing over and over, no matter what it is, they start to believe it.

I consider myself pretty well educated on the current batch of presidential candidates, and I think Ron Paul is more American than eny of them. How much more American can you get if he wants to strictly follow the Constitution???? And are against the other candidates who do not want to stricly adhear to the Constitution??

I really do not get it.

The big hit on Paul is that he wants to end the war in Iraq. Right off the bat people think that is anti-military, and anti-American. Well, funny thing - Ron Paul has more contributions to his campaign from the military than any other candidate. I think he has more donations from the military than all of the Republicans combined. I mean think about that. If the military doesnt think he is anti-military, then maybe we should listen to them (and him).

The point that people miss when criticizing his desired to get out of Iraq is - he wants to bring those troop shere to defend our country. We will have spent $2 trillion in Iraq and lost 4,000 of our best men and women. How about we spend that money here??? and if we are going to lose American lives, lets do it defending our country, not the middle east.
