JFJ Forums - Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin for President

I've been for Ron Paul this far, but now Chuck Baldwin has entered the presidential race. Decisions, decisions...

Here's an opportunity for Chuck Baldwin to explain where he stands on the issues:

"Due to my frequent criticisms of President George W. Bush, I am often asked what I would do if I were President of these United States. This column will serve as an attempt to answer that question."

If I Were President by Chuck Baldwin

I've decided I'm going to continue to support Ron Paul, as he would have greater appeal than a minister and is better known. Why would Chuck Baldwin take votes away from Ron Paul and decrease his chances of winning?

You know Ron Paul can't win, right? Might as well vote for Charlie Brown.

Ron Paul COULD win if everybody who agrees with him but blathers he can't win would VOTE FOR HIM.

Ron Paul could win if people who call themselves "conservatives" would actually vote that way.

Ron Paul would abandon Israel. He is an isolationist. And *IMO* anti-Semitic. Not a Libertarian as much as a paleo-conservative.
When you see people (including Ron paul) using the term "neo-conservative" it usually has it's roots in supporting Israel, under the guise of "not policing the world".

My primary vote was for Duncan Hunter... now I am left holding my nose as I vote.

Okay, I'm open.

What are the differences between Chuck Baldwin and Ron Paul? Is it only the "known" factor? Will Paul be as dedicated to Christ as Baldwin is? Why is Paul running as a Republican and not as an independent?

I'm now for Baldwin. But I'm not committed anymore to anyone, although I absolutely agree with the Constitution party's ideals. Why Paul over Baldwin?

Nahhhh....not even then.

Bill Balsamico sums up (some of) my thoughts, as an American citizen. You think he has a chance? See his video HERE -bottom of page.

I agree Ripley's that he would abandon Israel.

Entangling alliances with no one means no foreign aid to Pakistan, or Egypt, or Israel, or anyone else for that matter. If an American citizen determines a foreign country or cause is worthy of their money, let them send it, and encourage their neighbors to send money too, but our government has no authority to use hard-earned American taxpayer dollars to mire us in these nightmarishly complicated, no-win entangling alliances. We need to understand that a simple, humble foreign policy makes us less vulnerable and less targeted on the world stage.
