[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1683685, member: 4235"] I think Ron Paul is a lot more likely to beat Obama than the other GOP candidates if he wins the nomination. He has always gotten a huge majority of the Independent vote, which are really what elections come down to. 40% of the country will vote for the Dem no matter what, 40% will vote for the Rep no matter what... it is winning independent votes, and pulling support away from the other side, that wins elections. I don't think Romney, Gingrich, or Santorum are likely to win... myself and many other Republicans are fed up with establishment neo-con RINOs, and will abstain rather than vote for one of them. For me it is Ron Paul or not at all, just like last time around. sanjuro, I think the threat of countries falling to Communism was overblown back then, and all of the boogeymen that the neo-cons try to get us worked up about nowadays are even more so. I think what happened in Vietnam really illustrates this, because basically our worst fears came to pass... after we pulled out, Vietnam fell to Communism... and now it is one of our biggest trading partners in the region. It never turned into any kind of threat to us, and it was never capable of being one. That just goes to show what a crock the whole "domino" and "monolithic communism" theories were, which led us into that war. And now people are afraid of muslim countries invading us and converting us to Islam?! It pays to take a look at history. All the greatest empires in the world fell apart because of too many foreign entanglements, and the debt associated with them. Our foreign policy should be exactly what John Quincy Adams said in 1821: [url]http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/jqadams.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
