“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations- entangling alliances with none.”
- Thomas Jefferson ********
"It’s hypocritical to dismiss certain founding principles simply because a convenient rationale is needed to justify interventionist policies today. The principles enshrined in the Constitution do not change. If anything, today’s more complex world cries out for the moral clarity provided by a noninterventionist foreign policy."
--Ron Paul
Don't go to war unless you have a Declaration of War from Congress authorizing it (otherwise the war goes on forever).

Don't go to war unless the threat is IMMINENT. If it is, then ONLY go after the selected individuals involved.
The real question is whether Mcain will be a continuum of the Bush administration or make a quick reversal of the worst of Bush's mistakes. Bush popularity poll is so low there is not going to be a win for one who is just a Bush follower. There are principles involved that have been raped by an abusive Executive Branch. A Jeffersonian stand must be taken to get our visionary country back on track. Principled reform to restore the trammeled freedoms and rights is what Paul's supporters want most.
