I think it's a shame that the national media is ignoring Paul like they are. I'd really like to listen to a real interview with him that asks some tough questions about his positions. Such as:

-what does he think the result will be of a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq

-does he intend to withdraw our troops from other places too, such as Korea and Germany

-I don't think he's a Pollyanna, but exactly what does he think the world will look like if the US does withdraw its troops from all over the world, and does he think the rest of the world will just start being nice to us all of a sudden

-would he have joined in the fighting in WWII, or sat that one out, too

The Constitution calls for the common defence and appoints the President as Commander in Chief of the military. Any President who is ant-military would be at odds with these principles of the Constitution.

Also, the Constitution does not address whether a President should be "anti-Empire", nor does it mention "foreign entanglements."
