Ron Paul running on border security?

October 12, 2011 by B. Daniel Blatt

Been seeing this ad on a number of conservative and libertarian sites:

Interesting strategy for the sometimes seemingly left-libertarian candidate in the GOP field.

Filed Under: 2012 Presidential Election

    Ron Paul is definitely certifiable – I wouldn’t trust him anywhere near the ICBM codes or the Federal Reserve.

    Just my $0.02, girls.

    I see that Ron Paul’s right eyebrow came unglued and dripped down over his eyelid during the New Hampshire candidate oblong table.

    Shouldn’t he have some sort of mechanism which winches it back into place when that happens? If you are going to wear falsies, at least keep them even. Or is there some hidden libertarian meaning which I am missing?

    I agree with Peter Hughes. I might be a foreigner, but Ron Paul gives me the real creeps.

    He seems to be someone who jumps on a bandwagon, and this evidence is just further evidence of him jumping on a bandwagon in order to get votes.

    Ron Paul could most definitely be trusted with matters of war. He wouldn’t start one, but would be firm in defending our country and borders. He wouldn’t keep a war going just for oil, $, or world dominance. The reason he seems at once left/right/Dem/Repub/Libertarian/Indep. is because he is the best of all of the parties. He stand for all Americans, not just right or left, liberal or conservative. That’s why people all over the country are running to him in droves. He has the real solutions. And he does want to audit or abolish The Fed, which continues to print money like a counterfeiter, which is why our nation is bankrupt.

    P.S. If you want to know how he stands on any issue, read his own words at http://www.ronpaul2012.com

    Am I only DailyKos? Seems all the criticism of Dr. Paul is of the type ad hominem. And how do you define him “left-leaning”? Which of his positions do you consider more leftist than libertarian?

    How would RP secure the borders? He’s already stated he’s against a fence because ‘it might be used to keep Americans in.’

    I’m actually an ardent admirer of Ron Paul. Not a supporter, mind you. But an admirer.

    Dan, you say Ron Paul seems like a left-libertarian. Please elaborate, because I don’t see him supporting any leftist causes. And if a humble foreign policy is considered lefty, then please remember to describe Candidate GWB as one, too.
