Does anyone think that bringing home our troops from abroad create a power-vacuum that will be back-filled by nuclear war? My co-worker thinks that these type of actions will cause world aggressors to assume we are weak? Do we care about the millions that could be swept up and die in the aftermath?

And this is why I'd never vote for Ron Paul, because deep inside of every Ron Paul voter is someone who thinks that ending free education is a good idea for America.

nutso suggestion? Its better than dumping billions of dollars into a failed system. Dont you think you're being a bit extreme saying that a lot of people will be uneducated? hate to break it to you, but a lot of Americans are uneducated even with this system in place.
Billions of dollars spent on public schools, almost a trillion in student debt (college) Who is supposed to pay for all of this?
You said before that ron paul was selling a utopian idea.... the only utopian ideas are one where no one has to pay, and everything is free... well guess what it isn't free and life isn't fair. you play the hand your dealt... and not a hand out.

Well,I am an Independent.
If your undecided,thats a whole different ball game.
I never stated anything,other then you haven't said a good thing about Paul.
Usually,those who are on the fence with him,have a STRONG opinion,either yes or no.
I wont call you disingenuous,but I will say I don't believe you have him anywhere near on top of your list to become President.
