Cal Thomas on Ron Paul

"The only one behaving like a real Republican is Ron Paul, who actually wants to cut spending and get government out of our lives. He won't win the nomination because too many Republican are into handouts and redistribution... maybe a miracle will happen and Republicans will start behaving like Republicans again"

- Cal Thomas on Ron Paul and the rest of the Republican field

Yep, disbanding NATO and the Federal Reserve Board are sound Republican ideas

Tim, since you are the great political guru, mind telling us what handouts Fred Thompson has promised folks?

Naw, you couldn't support him. He actually has some practical policies

1) I really don't know why we're still in Germany. It's been 60 yrs since WWII and 20 yrs since the Cold War.

2) the Fed... as I've said... I'm not versed well-enough to support or oppose this idea. My goal with the Fed is transparency... and probably a gold standard. But that's a far cry from supporting the dissolution of the Fed.

3) Fred is the only other candidate who I've heard talk about Social Security. And for that reason, he's probably my second choice... Fred or McCain. Both of them to some extent have seemed to address the spending side of the equation. And for me... talking taxes just doesn't cut it. I want to hear candidates priorities on spending.

well, perhaps you ought to ascertain your own candidate's position on fiscal issues before you blog incessantly about his merits
