Patricia, what Roma has posted is the absalute truth about Ron Paul and his policies and if you look into him you will find that it is the establishment progressive movement that have tagged him in this manner. Through my business I do work for the military and what I have dicovered is that it does cost more to do business with the military but only because of their security and the red tape imposed upon them by the government. But even so it is not required to charge them a rate of 200 or 300 percent to make a profit. It is large corperations that have made deals with congressmen and senators who promote that myth so that they can increase their profit levels. There is no reason to charge them $50.00 for a screwdriver that cost $5.00 at any retail store especially when they buy them a million at a time. Someone is getting a kick back. I will leave it up to you to decide who that might be. But it sure seems fishy to me how a senator or conressman can go into office a middle class citizen and within his first term become a millionaire.

It is more than you asked for, and Roma, I really like you and have never been really mad or terribly angry at you at all.  You are right that we disagree on some things, but over all, we have the same wishes for this country and the same feeling for the lunatic in the white house!

His stance on Iran and Israel pretty much and he wants to just shutter things without taking the time to realize that Obama's expanding and just cutting things without using great care will cause just as much of an issue as Obama has.  We did not get where we are overnight, and it is doubtful the next president can right this ship all in one term and keeping our allies (and getting some of them back that Obama has treated badly, will be a full time job).  With some of what is going on in the world, we can not be isolationists which is what I gather from what I have heard said.  I also don't plan on voting for anyone who is only garnering 5% at most of the vote in the primaries.............as that person can not win against Obama and would most likely send others over to Obama that would have voted for another candidate.

Mr. Santorum has been back peddling from a number of comments of late where he opened his mouth without thinking and drivel came out.  I wasn't especially concerned about him pointing people to Ron Paul as I was his admitting he is a big government guy, then, there was him getting involved in the reproductive rights debacle which everyone else was smart enough not to bite on, and now the latest big boo boo of saying Obama would be better than Romney which he is back peddling like a mad man to get out of!   If you are going to be president or think you want to, you can't do things like this, so he has finished pretty much for me, Gingrich and Paul each have very little support (one for having a temper tantrum a couple of times and the other for his foreign policies and other things) which really leave only 1 man standing with enough support to actually win the nomination fair and square..................................
