Being elected into presidency? Well then I would like to inform you that in the latest PPP poll of who would fare better, Paul v Obama, it was 46% to 48%, respectively. Mitt Romney didn't do much better and was the only candidate who did better than Paul.Opposition to imperialism is not isolationism! Calling Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your windows and steal your things. Seriously, I disagree with policing the world, but even if I did, I would not support doing it when we are bankrupt.ChampionoChumps
Romney has also come ahead of Obama in some(http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html) polls. That, however, doesn't change the fact that libertarianism isn't supported widely by the American public. We are a center-right country, and some of the things Dr. Paul says are frankly unattainable. I respect him for his consistency, but I still believe(and many others do as well) Romney has the best shot at winning the presidency.
I don't advocate imperialism, but that doesn't change the fact that Dr. Paul supports isolationism. Your example doesn't represent what is actually being talked about ITT. It's perfectly fine that you disagree with me about being the world's police, but it's simply something I will not negotiate on. Also, we don't need anymore unemployed veterans. The longer we keep our troops useful, the better off we'll be. I don't agree with cuts to defense when they're paying for hundreds of thousands of people who would otherwise NOT be able to find a job.
