More Republicans Prefer Rapid Troop Withdrawal Than Support Staying

Hmmm, I seem to remember a GOP presidential candidate espousing a "quick withdrawal" from Afghanistan four years ago during the last presidential election cycle. It seems that once again, the Republican Party has finally caught up to another one of Dr. Paul's positions on the issues.
A brave man doesn't speak what is popular, a brave man speaks the truth. Ron Paul is such a man.

Hidden in plain sight is Ron Paul -- who has voted against every unconstitutional military excursion and would only go to war with a declaration from Congress (i.e., the American people.)
In another article elsewhere on this site, the two parties, Dems and Reps are fretting over losing the "youth vote" yet they refuse to acknowledge the extraordinary "youth" turnout for Ron Paul. Several recent townhall events hosted by Paul have had literally thousands, some as many as 8000, but this is not considered newsworthy??

The real question is do they support getting into yet another war in Iran. Will they vote for a candidate with close personal ties to the Israeli prime minister who seems likely to drag us into another war? Romney is looking worse all the time.
