Republicans need true conservative

With the current sentiments of the American people toward the war in Iraq, I feel that the Republican Party is headed down a dangerous path.

Out of the current 10 candidates, only one seems to realize this country’s current problem with foreign policy. That lone candidate is Dr. Ron Paul.

Paul is a 10-term senator from Texas and the only true conservative in the field. What our country needs right now is a leader who is against intervention abroad, who will reduce the size and power of the federal government and who will address the issue of the national debt and the currently unfair taxation system. Paul looks to be the only candidate ready to tackle the issue at home and abroad.
