Those people who were loudly applauding Ron Paul must be from some other planet. He's WORSE than the far left liberals.<BR/><BR/>For me, there is only one main issue confronting America today and that is the imminent threat of terrorism -- to the degree that you can separate out the control of our borders from this overarching question, there might be two.<BR/><BR/>In my view the candidate who most clearly defines this threat as the primary focus of his presidency is the candidate I will vote for.<BR/><BR/>In my little book, on a list of one to twenty, if terrorism is number one, and control of our borders is number two, the next issue on this list would be down around eleven or twelve. If we cannot protect our country from future attacks, none of these other issues have any meaning whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>So far, the two who most seem to fit this bill are Guliani and Thompson, both of whom have some image problems. However, as you pointed out, Thompson has said all the right things and appears to be showing some real resolve. Guliani has shown real resolve but has said a lot of the wrong things.<BR/><BR/>I'll be following these candidates, as we all will, very closely in the future. <BR/>We've still got a while to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
