'Ron Paul opposed to US military intervention'
Mon Dec 26, 2011 6:27PM GMT
Robert Shetterly, founder of Americans Who Tell the Truth says it is due to Ron Paul's foreign policy that the Republican establishment and the mainstream media are trying to dismiss him.

"I think why the Republican establishment is trying to dismiss him and discredit him and move away from him is ... because he is opposed to U.S. military intervention and he is in favor of deescalating U.S. involvement around the world ... and refusing the military as a means of accomplishing U.S. imperial foreign policy," Shetterly told Press TV's U.S. Desk in an interview on Monday.
"He wants to cut back on American bases and stop the varieties of wars and escalation of tensions in Russia, China and the Mideast," he added.

Better than Obama: Why the Establishment is Terrified of Ron Paul

It's fascinating to watch the long knives coming out for Texas Republican Rep. Ron Paul, now that according to some mainstream polls he has become the front-running candidate in the Jan. 3 GOP caucus race in Iowa, and perhaps also in the first primary campaign in New Hampshire.

Remember, we're talking about a guy who has been in Congress on and off for 12 terms, dating back to 1976. His views have been pretty consistent, and because he has run for president several times, also pretty well known. A practicing physician who claims to have helped in the births of over 4000 babies in his career, the 76-year-old Paul is a free-market advocate, an abortion opponent, an uncompromising defender of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, an opponent of government regulation, the Federal Reserve and the IRS, and of big government in general--especially big federal government.

Paul Campaign Rejects Racist Claims
By DOUGLAS BELKIN And DANNY YADRON

DES MOINES, Iowa—Ron Paul has come under fire for racially derogatory comments in newsletters he published some two decades ago, but many Iowa voters who first got to know the Texas congressman almost a quarter century ago aren't buying the idea that he is a bigot.

"It doesn't make sense to me," said Arleigh Clemens, a 74-year-old retired manager of a construction-supply company and the co-chairman of the Johnson County Republican Party. "I can't believe a guy from South Texas could get elected to Congress for all of those years if he was a known racist."

OMG who is this knob ?

[desmondj10]

i love how these people just spout out what they believe to be ron paul`s views-as if they can speak for him

[whatyoumustknow]

His view on war is not only economical, but rather moral. Nevertheless in this situation of financial difficulty it seems economical argument is more appealing.

Indeed in foreign policy he always preaches that "treat people how you want to be treated" which is deeply moral.

[cfrb]

he wants to control the finance at the banking and federal reserve level.
