Why should Ron Paul be the next president of the United States? He's
71 years old. He has 20 years of experience in Congress. He served
admirably in the United States military as a doctor, yet he's not pro-
war. He believes the United States should not only get out of Iraq and
Afghanistan, but all the 150+ countries we're currently in. This would
save us a huge amount of money, strengthen our economy, and balance
the budget.
Ron Paul is a strict believer in the United States Constitution, and
that's rare nowadays. For example, the United States Constitution does
not allow torture of prisoners. Any "cruel and unusual" punishment of
prisoners is not allowed. The Bush administration, however, is
considered to have practiced torture on prisoners at Guantanamo Bay by
Amnesty International, and is also accused by Amnesty International of
setting up secret prisons in Europe where prisoners have allegedly
been taken and tortured.
At a recent Republican Party presidential debate candidates Mitt
Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Tom Tancredo all said they supported the
Bush administration's practices of torture of prisoners. This is just
one example of how a lot of our modern politicians are not "upholding
and defending" our Constitution as they have sworn that they would do.
I think a real conservative is going to be supporting, upholding, and
adhering to our Constitution.
I could add that the Constitution says the Congress is to declare
war, even though it has become somewhat of a tradition in recent years
for the president to unilaterally start wars. I think it would be a
breath of fresh air to have as president again someone who really
believes in the Constitution the founding fathers of this country set
up, instead of some New World Order craziness promoted by some secret
societies. I think Ron Paul is a real patriot for continuing to
believe in the principles this nation was founded on.
