Ron Paul is more extreme than Obama

Ron Paul is an extremist Libertarian, not a Republican. He is more extreme than Obama.
He blames us for 9/11. He is willing to abandon Israel and offer friendship to Iran, which is willing to destroy itself in order to rid the world of infidels. He has no objection to a nuclear Iran that would coerce and blackmail every country in the Mideast. He is unconcerned about the loss of oil to our energy-dependent country. He makes unrestrained personal attacks on Republican candidates. Should he win the Iowa primaries, Iowa will be a laughing stock and will never again be first in the nation.
Paul objects to the Patriot Act, which has proved to be a necessary protection against terrorism. He believes a border fence could be used to keep Americans in. He has no plans for jobs creation and apparently believes he can change all of government with executive orders. Sound familiar?
How about his proposal to legalize heroin and marijuana? Paul would be worse than Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama. Electable? You've got to be kidding!
