Sandi,
His view on power and use of American Authority will end his presidential hopes. When he talks about a hands off stance against Iran and the economic stances he is famous for, the terrorist propagandist(Republicans) and prosperity conscious ideologues(all candidates) that are going to be the real core of the election campaigns will be brought out to do away with him. I like his view on these two issues but they will be a threat to “our freedom” “our standard” of living” and U.S. voters will not have the will to see past this.
Dr. Paul’s response to the religion issue is just a shame as far as I am concerned.The religion issue is a shame for me throughout the political process, especially at the national level. It is just as much what he says as what he doesn’t say. When we have a candidate similar to Dr. Paul, who also seems contemporary and intellectually honest, on church and state/religion and politics, I will get really excited. His poor rhetoric on religion is a bigger strike against him than it is to other candidates because he gives me the hope that he would be more progressive. He is totally unexceptional on this front and is in fact a disappointment.
