    I’ve heard that Ron Paul's a so-called conservative and isolationist. And he doesn’t like the American tax system, overgrown government bureaucracy, the Patriot act etc.
    Also he believes "the proper role for government in America is to provide national defense, a court system for civil disputes, a criminal justice system for acts of force and fraud, and little else." ©

    Well, in my view he looks like a sober and competent politician. But politics is a cynical thing and here’s a good proverb in Russia - The Sahara desert lies between the good words (statements) and good work.
    Folks, what do you make of him?

    Ron Paul in my opinion is like the black sheep of the republican party. He believes in limited government on the domestic side, but his world view is more like who cares of what happens to our allies and other countries problems. I see him ran for the race more than once, and most of the conservative party don't really agree with his foreign polices. I would vote him if it weren't for his isolationism policy. I personally believe that isolationism is not best for our country namely because, the US government has a duty to insure our interests are safe and secure through out the world. Peace through strength.

    In my view, Ron Paul is a radical, but I will opine that I do like his idea of America being an isolationist country.
