I can prove Ron Paul is better than your favorite candidate for president.

With regards to the terrorism issue, you asked me to explain how he plans to reduce the recruitment tools of the terrorists. Lets us start by examining the 3 major recruitment tools being used by the terrorists. 1.Our undying support for Israel 2.Our occupation of Iraq/Afghanistan 3.Our treatment of detainees (or better our LACK of treatment) Moore explains that through addressing these three issues we can successfully bring down (over time) the presence of terrorism against of country. By addressing these issues he means that we should get Israel out of Palestine, pull out of the middle east, and criminally try those detainees who have committed a crime, and release the rest. What argument can Bin Laden make to suicide bombers then? Now on to the immigration issue. I had a feeling you would attack me on this point. Lets face the fact that we have an estimated 11 million immigrants here illegally. I don't see how a fence will address that issue. If you build a fence they will go under or over it. Put up a wall, and the same result will occur. These people are here whether we like it or not. Most of them have to be making some kind of money which leads me to believe they are working. Imagine if we could incorporate these people LEGALLY into our workforce. The problem with our current system is that there is no incentive for companies who hire these people to expand. They pay these people below minimum wage, without any benefits at all. They are maximizing there profits through the exploitation or these workers. You are right in that they are taking work away from American workers. This is not the fault of the immigrant. Many people are quick to blame the workers for this. Let us examine the companies (agriculture/labor) who are not being pursued by the government for their illegal acts. Moore feels that rather than spending billions of dollars to fight the immigrants that we should better use that money to expand our domestic programs. He does not advocate immediate citizenship for them, however he does wish to get them access to our social programs. Instead of us turning the blind eye to "under the table wages" he wants these people on the books and paying there taxes. This will expand our tax base and over time increase our tax revenues. Simply put Paul's vision for this issue is static and ineffective. It reminds me of pre-WWII France and there Maginot Line. It is an arbitrary solution which will further waste money and have no positive effect on our country. In fact it will divide us further and accomplish nothing. Paul's policy on immigration is flawed and will fail. Finally with regards to the issue of the military, CIA, etc., etc. Moore does recognize the fact that we are a target of fanatical groups. He does not believe that clandestine organizations like the CIA, and others are the way to combat it. He views these institutions as wasteful, and unnecessary. A single body of intelligence would be better to combat these issues. One that is transparent, and actually held to the laws. I need not bring your attention to all of the "scandals" which have discredited these organizations. He feels they are wasteful, and uneeded. Federal Reserve- Moore wants the government to take over, so as to be better able to control the intrest rates, and the economy in general. IRS- Another institution which Moore has stressed must go. Again he wants a reformed state run institution which will more efficiently gather the states tax revenues, and go after the evaders/frauds. So on this issue Paul and Moore seem to see eye to eye. Education System- Moore does not agree at all with what you have argued in that the system should somehow be parentally funded. With the 50% military budget cuts, the removal of the wasteful institutions, and the end of the occupation of foreign soil, Moore plans to fund all education through the government. That is also to include college and vocational schools. He recognizes the obvious flaws and failures of our current system. Gun Ownership- In agreement with Paul in that felons, and violent criminals lose the right upon conviction. Qualifications- This is from his website, it will further your understanding of where he is coming from. Brian holds a Masters Degree in Public Administration (MPA) from Arizona State University.
