Republican Presidential Candidates

Rudy Giuliani, believes in strong restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms.

Mike Huckabee, does not believe in evolution.

John McCain, supported the invasion of Iraq and continues to support the war in Iraq.

Mitt Romney, supported the invasion of Iraq, and supports the Iraq War troop surge of 2007.

Fred Dalton Thompson, supported the U.S. invasion of Iraq, but he believes that mistakes have been made since then. He is opposed to withdrawal from Iraq.

Ron Paul, has the distinction of being opposed to the Iraq War and interventionist U.S. foreign policy. He is one of 7 Republican congressman who voted against Iraq War authorization in October 2002. He has also opposed George W. Bush and the majority of Republican congressmen on many other issues, including the PATRIOT Act.


I think that voting for any of these guys except for Ron Paul would be like voting for George Bush all over again.
Ron Paul has proven his wisdom by opposing the invasion of Iraq. He showed no fear when standing up against Bush and most of the Republicans on the Patriot Act.

Ron Paul appeared in a Debate sponsored by FOX News on October 21, from 8:00 PM - 9:30 PM ET.[141] According to Fox News Viewers text voting after the debate, Ron Paul won with 34%. [142][143].

At one point, with the poll showing Ron Paul winning the informal “cell phone” poll, Fox News talk show host Sean Hannity burst out with a definitive statement, “Ron Paul did not win the debate tonight,” even though the poll showed that he was winning by a wide margin [144]. Hannity described the results as "stacking," even though only one vote can be sent per phone number or IP address

Paul was the only candidate to be jeered during the debate. Both times Paul advocated a noninterventionist foreign policy, he received boos from the audience.[145] Alan Colmes, in the post-debate analysis, stated that Paul drew the most spirited reaction of any candidate, both positive and negative.

Ron Paul hit on his theme of military non-interventionism, “70% of Americans want war over with and are sick and tired of big government at home and overseas.” They want their “civil liberties and not allow government to spend endlessly and bankrupt us.” Paul was also given questions related to his experience with Medicaid and made the distinction between his opposition to the Iraq War and that of Hillary Clinton, stating that Hillary does not support policies that would end the war.
