The following are quotes taken from an Interview with the Muckraker Report:
“The 2002 Iraq war resolution transferred the authority and responsibility for waging war from the legislature to the executive branch, which is a total breach of the principles of the U.S. Constitution. James Madison pointed this out in 1798, that because the executive is the branch of government most interested in war, the question of war must be vested in the legislature – ‘with studied care.’”
“I voted against that resolution because I believe strongly that we should avoid getting entangled in foreign alliances and instead seek peace and trade with all nations.”
“So to answer your question, if I were president, I would do my best to follow in the footsteps of the Founders by abiding by the rules laid out in the U.S. Constitution, which means limiting the power of the executive to wage war.”

ron paul is correct on many issues, like iraq war, war on terror and limiting size of government. its a pity that he is not getting the same amount of funds as the other candidates..
i don't think he is getting the nomination because his party does not believe in people like him, i wish he would run as an independent
