Ron is bound to answer honestly when he's asked what we should do. That's different than what an red executive could do against a blue legislative dominance. The best thing about Ron is his honesty. Now people are cornering the man and taking pot shots asking his honest opinion on certain matters.
I'll bet if we gave some truth serum to a few of the other candidates, we'd hear the solution for the ME is a couple of mushroom clouds. They'd never admit it.

People are taking "pot shots" at Ron Paul for requesting clarification of his stated positions on the CIA, FBI, the UN, and NATO? That's a new one. I agree with Chaossaber314--Paul has not explained to my satisfaction how our nation would gather intelligence or maintain our alliances overseas in the absence of these organizations. He's big on quoting the constitution and criticizing big government, but chintzy on the specific Paul alternatives, either "honest" or "realistic."

I disagree. One of the refreshing aspects of Ron Paul are his crystal clear messages and language. "Abolish the CIA" doesn't require a PR firm to communicate or explain. And if Paul has no specifics for a post-CIA American intelligence community, a PR firm can't help him much.
