Reply #51: frankly, I think it does.... [View All]

I see anti-imperialism and reform of U.S. foreign policy as the most important single issue at this moment in American politics. That's my personal bias, admittedly. I don't think Ron Paul will ever have the traction to do something as destructive as undermining Roe v. Wade, or completely deregulating laissez-faire capitalism. But I think a Kucinich/Paul administration could at least make serious inroads into exposing the evils of U.S. foreign policy and set the stage for significant foreign policy reform.

As for "weakening" regulations on trade, he wants to withdraw from the WTO and NAFTA, which I fully support. His reasons and my reasons might differ, but if he wants to fight globalization from a different perspective, that's fine with me.

Finally, I'm not a Ron Paul supporter by any means. In the context of the OP, however, I do think a Kucinich/Paul ticket would do America far more good than any other conceivable combination of the current candidates.
