    Ron Paul is the most responsible in foreign policy and the most intelligent.

    There is so much evidence supporting Paul's foreign policy... Yet there is almost no evidence, if any, that can show how are current foreign policy is good.

    Ron Paul is right on pretty much everything, ESPECIALLY foreign policy. But sadly, most Republicans are big government militarists and authoritarians. It's the only logical reason why Newt Gingrich is their frontrunner. If they really believed in small government and freedom, Paul would be winning in a landslide.

    And people wonder why we say it's Ron Paul or nobody else.

    In a word....TRUTH.

    The mainstream republicans will most likely ignore this thread. They will definitely ignore the statements presented in the video.

    It just amazes me that the neo-con cheerleaders would prefer to watch anti aircraft fire through night-vision news cameras over Middle Eastern cities than have a free, secure and prosperous homeland. It's a 10 year outdated form of patriotism that wasn't justified then and now just comes off as stupid and deranged. Most people I should think, would have taken some life lessons away from the last decade.

    There's a better course than the one we've been lead down and it starts with electing Ron Paul.

    One has to be
    PRETTY IGNORANT
    to believe that newt gingrich is a front runner of conservatives any more then McPalin was more popular in 2008 (elections later proved) hope this helps: type in the terms and compare: (you can also select year, month etc.)

    I would like to see the Tea Party embrace Ron Paul completely.

    How in the world do some of them endorse Gingrich or Romney?!? It makes no sense.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the two "tea party" are Bachmann and Paul. Bachmann has pretty much burned out and Paul is on the rise. Why aren't more of them supporting Paul?

    I've heard the main difference between a libertarian and a tea party member is that the tea party people don't support non-interventionist foreign policy. How can they be anti-big government but they support our government patrolling the world??

    I wonder the same thing.

    I am hopeful that we are not getting all the facts, and when the polls close in Iowa and NH Ron Paul will have done very well among Tea Party members.

    Hahaha.

    Imagine him getting something like 60% of the votes... Something ridiculous. The MSM would FREAK out. They would probably claim some sort of error was made or that he cheated. The headline of the day would probably be "Gingrich 2nd with 15%, Romney third with 10%". :)

    I can only think that the Tea Party has been hijacked. You can't be Taxed Enough Already and support an expensive interventionist foreign policy with a $15 trillion debt hanging over our heads. It makes no sense at all.

    Made it to 45 seconds.

    How dare Ron Paul make a video about the soldiers, and then tie in 9/11 ... something he blames us for, and something we had coming, according to him.

    Every move made to dismiss Paul, despite popularity, is going to be a deathblow to the party, a major awakening to those left unconvinced that both parties are ran by the same people, basically, no matter what happens at this point, the gig is up. Just keep encouraging people to research on their own. Don't try and convince people to our side. That is what the con men do. Do the opposite. Encourage people to enlighten themselves, and that in itself will tell their subconscious we are the genuine perspective.

    Another lie. He blames our foreign policy not the American people.

    You were a good poster... What happened?

    He blames America, not the Islamofascists who perpetrated 9/11. End of discussion.

    Spare me. I've never agreed with Ron Paul on foreign policy. I'm not going to pretend to so that you'll like me.

    LOL. It is not working. Why do neocons even talk? There is no such thing as bad publicity, and anything a neocon is against, the majority will be for. The best way to get half the country against Paul would be for all the status quo republicans to support him. You do realize that, right?

    Foreign policy does not = America.

    Never said you had to agree. You used to actually post factual information now its just attack Ron Paul.

    To each their own.

    My experience with Tea party members tells me a lot of them are very green when it comes to politics. They're new to it and mainly instinctive in their political beliefs and not so much intellectual which means they're easily duped.
    There hearts were in the right place but unfortunately with such a group all it takes to subvert is someone to say "I believe what you believe, so let me tell you what to believe."

    If Ron Paul doesn't get widespread Tea Party support I can easily see them explaining how his "foreign policy is dangerous" and regurgitating Hannity and Levin talking points and in 3 years they'll find themselves in a panic because Newt Gingrich is implementing a dictatorship.

    I hope that isn't the case.
