I get to speak to tons of people while I'm out selling my book with my Ron Paul baseball cap on, and everyone likes his domestic policy but look upon his foreign policy with horror. They consider it an "isolationist" policy and it scares the hell out of them and away from the good Doctor.
I'm pretty sure he isn't going to change as he is steeped in the Constitution and Washington's warning of "foreign entanglements".
I would only suggest that someone in the campaign might want to take a look at point 7 of the Contract With Americans: 2012, on my webpage, www.nar2012.com; Dr. Paul has the book. The world is in Cold War II, it's never talked about, but it's impossible to ignore, and it's not just America's Wolfowitz Doctrine participating, tho it has caused it.
Cold War II is rather unusual, because it pits Liberty against Tyranny, instead of defined countries and territory. It is the same battle Dr. Paul internally (domestically) rails of against the Federal Reserve Bank and its "unprincipled men", who own and operate it; But it is global now, and it is a war America is loosing.
So even if America abandon's the Wolfowitz Doctrine and the neo-con war, which it should do and Dr. Paul is correct in this respect, the Cold War II is not going to go away. It has to be fought and won.
I think the Pax Americana I propose in the book is very close to what Dr. Paul espouses, and is structured upon the foreign policies of Reagan, Eisenhower/Dulles, and Teddy Roosevelt, as it proactively takes the fight for liberty to those tyrannical governments that covertly seek America's demise, without firing a shot.
It must be frustrating for staff as it is for Dr. Paul's adherents across America to see him undone by the mass media depiction of his foreign policy. Myself, having listened to Dr. Paul in person and read whatever I can, still do not have my hands around Dr Paul's foreign policy.
This leaves it in a vacuum, and allows other people to define Dr. Paul and his foreign policy.
He could win this thing in a walk if he would only clearly define his position, and address and define that state of war the world is in, because the world is in the Second Cold War. It is just hard to define, but suffice to say, it is Liberty/Freedom against Tyranny.
And again I point out that it is a war America is loosing, both internally and externally. And while Dr. Paul fights the internal war, he seems to have lost sight of the same war externally, outside America but which embroils America.
I'm not saying he should redefine his policy. But I am saying that he should re-examine it, and then give it definition. If he did, he could take this thing in a walk. If not, we are most likely fighting a losing battle where the only option that will be left, is to try to advance the end of the Federal Reserve as a plank in the Republican Platform.
Does he really think that will work?
I believe it is an outside shot left to fate, and I would get better odds on the Cubs winning the pennant.
Yeah, that'll work.
All my best,
