The American Conservative Magazine endorses Ron Paul for President:

Paul for President


The presidential fields of both parties have narrowed, and the arguments about how we should move forward are now familiar. TAC believes that only one candidate has put forth a diagnosis of America�s current ills and has a vision to turn the country off its misguided course. That is Congressman Ron Paul, whom we endorse for the Republican nomination.

On the key issue of foreign policy, the differences between the other Republican contenders can be measured in microdots. All remain enthusiastic supporters of the invasion of Iraq and of maintaining a presence there for years to come. All speak as if it is America�s right and duty to station its armed forces over much of the world. All have embraced neoconservative paranoia about the �threat� posed by Iran, setting the table for another war. All, that is, except Dr. Paul.

He is the one candidate who sees how the realities of world power have shifted since the 1990s, the one who recognizes that the time of unilateral American hegemony is over�and can�t be maintained even if it was in our interest to do so. He alone understands that the ever expanding federal government is a far greater threat to American liberty than some tinpot dictator in the Caucasus. By speaking about the benefits of smaller government and limited executive power, he has introduced a generation of young Americans to a more traditional and true style of conservatism�to the movement and the country�s benefit.

Ron Paul is a libertarian, and his stances are very much derived from that minor party tradition. To many, his ruminations about sound money seem academic�if oddly prescient. He was sounding the alarm about dollar devaluation long before the current panic and broke with libertarian orthodoxy to oppose injurious free-trade deals like NAFTA and CAFTA. Conservatives also find common cause with his 30-year pro-life voting record and commitment to ending birthright citizenship.

Paul came by his congressional nickname��Dr. No��honestly. Anyone combing through his lengthy record will find many lone stands and idealistic statements that ignore the maxim that politics is the art of the possible. We are under no illusion that he has much chance of winning the GOP nomination this election cycle.

Nevertheless we urge a vote for him. This campaign sends a signal to both parties that a significant number of Americans value their country�s great Constitution, that many conservatives reject wiretaps, waterboarding, and senseless wars. There is far more realism in Paul�s analysis than can be found in those Republicans who believe that Washington�s policy of borrowing billions from China to pay for the occupation of a growing number of countries is desirable, much less sustainable.

Ron Paul has been a breath of fresh air in an otherwise desultory Republican campaign. Long may he run.

Some more endorsements for Ron Paul...

4th Quarter results are in. Once again Ron Paul gets more support from military members, almost as much as all the other candidates combined:


ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA � According to newly released FEC reports, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has received more military donations than the other three remaining Republican candidates combined.

�The latest numbers make it clear: the troops support Ron Paul,� said Ron Paul campaign chairman Kent Snyder. �Dr. Paul has worked his entire career working for veterans, and has many awards and endorsements due to his dedication to their cause.�

A search of the FEC database by employer reveals that Dr. Paul has received 1160 donations from military donors, nearly triple that of John McCain, and more than McCain, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee combined.

Dr. Paul�s total military donations of $249 thousand are almost as much as the $260 thousand of combined donations received by the other five remaining candidates.

Congressman Paul is no stranger to military support. Former president Ronald Reagan once said, �Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country!�

According to the FEC reports, these are the total number and amount of military donations for each of the presidential candidates*:

Ron Paul: 1160 $249k
John McCain: 438 $83k
Mike Huckabee: 126 $37k
Mitt Romney: 126 $24k
Barack Obama: 443 $76k
Hillary Clinton: 154 $41k

That is only 1160 people . and those number probably included civilian DOD empolyes as well.

One thing that really hurts Paul is during debates, he doesn't go after his opponents enough. Instead, he defends his own views.

Why doesn't he ask John McCain why the troops don't support his campaign?

Why doesn't he go after Romney's flip flop on abortion?

I think he needs to go on the offensive, and try to show how McCain and Romney are going to take America down the same road it's been on for the last 20 years (or more).

talking about 1160 including DOD employees

[Joo Rip Gwa Rhhee]

First of all Ron Paul for better or worse is the only candidate with his views.

McCain and Rommney compete for the same voters.

but more than that much more money will be donated in the general election.

You are talking about a very small percentage of all those in uniform and as I pointed out some of Paul's supporters are civilian DOD employees.
