On Iraq, should we not have gone in the first place or was it our responsibility to take Hussein out? I think Bush’s “spreading democracy” policy is greatly flawed. Finding bin Laden should still be our top priority, and Paul would agree. I think where he draws the line was the fact that going into Iraq was a pre-emptive move and should have never taken place. War should be declared and voted on by Congress, and in this case, we were acting on a UN sanction… since when do we take marching orders from the UN?

I think your spot on with regard to the IRS and taxation… let freedom ring!

He definitely strikes me as one of the most principled candidates. And I love his libertarian-esque vision for smaller government which I would gladly welcome. And Lord knows I’ve been screaming “get rid of the IRS” for the last 3 years. I despise the income tax and the social security tax. When we rely on the government to take care of us we slowly give our freedoms away.

I disagree with his sentiments on the Iraq war. Hussein was a bad bad man and I am glad we did something about it. However I do wish we had hunted down, arrested and tried bin Laden first. That should have been our first priority.

I am in a fix when it comes to who to vote for in the primary. I wish I could take attributes of them all and put them into one super-candidate. But alas, I must choose.
