RP people are the gnsfs of politics tbh.

the Main Stream Media has instilled you very erroneous thoughts. Let me help out:

Non-interventionism is primarily concerned with military interventions in foreign countries. It's a policy designed to avoid wars not directly related to national defense and to also avoid expansion of State power. It's best described as military non-intervention, although it can also apply to international efforts to control certain countries' economies, like the IMF has tended toward when they loan money to struggling countries -- this type of intervention usually has negative consequences when there is ignorance of a country's special cir stances, needs, culture and history.

Non-interventionism is not a call for isolationism, tarrifs and other protectionist measures against global trade. A country with a non-interventionist policy can very well be open in all other respects, such aKs culture exchange, immigration/emigration, peaceful free trade, technology and intelligence cooperation. Some in media know better when they conflate non-interventionism with isolationism -- they use "isolationism" as a smear tactic -- but the sad probability is that many dBon't know.

So I may have used the wrong word, but it wasn't intended to mischaracterize his position, which I will still contend is not one any Republican not named Paul will adopt.

Again, if that's the case I don't see RP supporters rallying around the Republican candidate, even though they have similar positions on the size and reach of the federal government.

Agree or disagree?

[Winehole23]

disagree. newt appears to be the number one second choice of RP voters in SC, then Bachmann, then Romney.

[cheguevara]

Some will some won't. It is irrelevant right now because Paul is still in the race, who knows how long he will stay, will he quit? will he endorse someone? will he run 3rd party? All that will affect the answer to your question.

a bit too early to discuss such matters

The question for me is whether second choice is adequate.

[AFBlue]

is there anything RP has done or said that makes you think so, or is it more a less a hunch you have that he'll run?

Don't think I ever answered this. It's a hunch, but by running in the general he gets to showcase how broad and strong his unique message is for America. I think he's got the money to hang too.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Given his wide-ranging appeal, I'm not sure it would help the candidacy of either party though.

I don't think it would either. He'd be a true 3rd party candidate.

[baseline bum]

At this point, yes I do. His support and funding are at a point where I think he'll be persuaded to enter the race as an independent if/when he loses the nomination.

Good points. I'm no Ron Paul fan by any stretch of the imagination, but he'd probably be the least bad between him, Obama, and Romney in a 3-way race and I wouldn't be scared that a vote for him was really a vote for someone I hate (like Nader was for Bush in 2000).

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Tbh, anyone who voted for Nader or Bush in 2000, or Bush in 2004, has the blood of every dead US soldier in Iraq on his/her hands.

EDIT: I originally phrased it wrong and said Iraqi soldier. People don't care about Iraqis, but voting for Bush means you have the blood of US soldiers on your hands

[spursncowboys]

Our voted for Clinton in 92 and 96. In that re ed way of thinking, so do you since you buy products which are taxed which are used to buy weapons that are put in soldiers like my hands which shed Iraqi blood, proudly might I add.

[spursncowboys]

Iraqis, afghanis, and possibly chechnyans, Saudis, and Iranians among others.

[spursncowboys]

Tbh

El Che disagrees.

If we go by this way of thinking. Every single tax paying american is responsible, because their tax money is what went directly to this war.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

We have no control over where our tax dollars go. We do have control over who we vote for.

Black People Love Ron Paul

"we done fell for that Barack Obama "

[Borat Sagyidev]

look at those adorable kids. they are barely off diapers and already talking about the cons ution. That is our future, if it does not bring a tear to your eye, I feel sorry for you.

Ron Paul might lose the presidency but he will something bigger, immortality.

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them"

Yup. It's going to take a lot of work to repair the damage baby boomers have done though.

[SA210]

Yet the supporters in all three cases share(d) the same level of defensive zealotry. For candidates who, despite their popularity as rule breaking straight shooters, remain(ed) almost entirely unelectable. Realistically.

This is our fault, as stupid American voters and citizens, for not voting for the right guy but instead voting for evil just because they are our better kind of evil over the other.

I'm going to assume you're young to have this much hubris. Otherwise, I guess you have whatever mania Nbadan has.

Guessing and assuming is what you do best. Thanks for avoiding my point btw. You do that 2nd best. 3rdly you attempt to be funny, and everyone knows how badly you fail at that.

Back to the topic at hand.
