Paul Suspends Presidential Campaign, Forms New Org

JoeKuboj writes "Texas Rep. Ron Paul announced Thursday he is suspending his bid for the Republican presidential nomination to focus his time on building an organization to help recruit and elect 'limited government Republicans.' Paul's decision to leave the race is an acknowledgment he had no chance of winning the GOP nomination. But even in loss, Paul is one of a handful of candidates who walked away from this presidential contest a winner. His presidential campaign had a broad base of support that included traditionally fiscal and socially conservative Republicans to young people who were angry about the U.S. decision to wage war against Iraq."

Isolationism rising

Ron Paul is an isolationist, when measured against current American policies. After Iraq, this is the direction the country is going to go in once the oldies that remember Pearl Harbor die off.

Isolationism by any name is still the same. What is the difference, as you see it?

Aw, dammit... I had this pretty awesome multi-paragraph reply to your post, but the slashcode just ate it, and I don't feel like retyping it.

My basic point though was that I grudgingly accepted your definition, but took issue with the fact that Paul seems to think that we can neglect our military obligations and somehow it won't affect our economic position. Military and economics are inexorably linked.
