[Vision2020] Mitt Romney vs. Ron Paul on civil liberties

[Sunil Ramalingam]

No Tom, I think the problem is what Obama is saying and is doing. Do you think he is right? Does anyone agree that it's not war?

The problem with your statement, Sunil, is . . .
The GOP presidential candidates were in strong support of a US military intrusion in Libya (Gingrich wanted to send ground troops) . . . until Obama stated that he was in favor of US air strikes.  Then (virtually overnight) the GOP came out against any type of military involvement, comparing military involvement Libya to our war in Afghanistan.

Seeya later, Moscow.

Just as Ron Paul should be under close scrutiny, so should Obama and the other candidates.

Does anyone support Obama's position that our bombing of Libya was not an act of war and  not subject to the War Powers Act? It's not war when we bomb a country to weak to shoot back?

Of course, Paul won't hesitate to curb a woman's right to control her body:

Mitt Romney on civil liberties and the Patriot Act:

tl;dr version: "Whatever it takes to save me from terrorists!"

Compare and contrast that with Ron Paul's thoughts on the Patriot Act:

or this excerpt of a talk he gave at Georgetown University:

Mitt Romney is more of the same.  Ron Paul might well be, too, for all I know, but at least there is a chance we can turn some of this around if he gets elected.
