correct as far as i think obama's economic policies will lead to a disaster from which the world may not recover. that is by far the overriding issue for me. both republicans and democrats have been taking turns kicking the can down the road but it looks to me end of the road is near. romney may give us more time.

i want the smallest government and the most individual liberty possible. what government is necessary should be done by the lowest level of government possible.

i am in favor of strong defense but not nation building, not a continual U S military presence throughout the world and certainly not a perpetual state of undeclared war.

there are no good choices in this (or any) election. in my view romney will just do far less damage to the economy but we're pretty much screwed no matter who wins.

hi dig,

to be honest, i find csl's position perplexing.

he's a paulist. paul is against intervention. he wanted to bring the troops home wherever they happened to be.

csl says he was anti-bush. yet romney is a sort of bush clone anywhere that it matters. his foreign policy team is largely bush's. he wants to engage around the world. further from paul than obama is.

to the extent romney's stance last night reflected anything, it was a copy of obama's position. except that he said in following obama's plan he would show more leadership. i guess one leads by following.

for myself, i think csl is so strongly a man of the right that it doesn't really matter any more what the candidate says. just so long as he isn't obama.

correct,csl?

yes, obama has done a very decent job on foreign policy. he might have done better domestically if he had been allowed to do anything in the last two years.
