Deviations From the Mean

In an interview with Wall Street Journal reporters yesterday that mostly was about trade issues President Bush deplores American opinions. According to President Bush the reasons the public is so skeptical of his policies is easy to explain. The problem is not with the policies — it’s with the American public’s opinions.

“We have lost sight of what it means to be a nation willing to be aggressive in the world and spread freedom or deal with disease. And we have lost our confidence in the ability to compete internationally,” Bush said yesterday in the interview.

Once again Rep. Ron Paul demonstrates that he is the only Republican candidate for President who even vaguely knows how far the United States is slipping in its standing as a world power and that to reverse the slide the US must change many of its policies.

The other Republican macho men candidates prove once again that they are out to prove to all that they are all for the “war on terror” and that basically the US has to right to attack any country that we think may in some way be a threat, if not now, at sometime in the future.

Ron Paul is a Republican Congressmen from Texas who is an old fashioned kind of guy. He is realistic in his assessment of the unintended consequences of the war in Iraq and to the cost to American of staying the course with a failed policy.

Rep. Ron Paul still believes in honesty, integrity, the preservation of constitutional rights, and the right and duty of concerned citizens to speak out when they think that the government has gotten off course with its policies.
