Ron Paul is not about weak national security. He's all for STRONG national security. As for public schools, has the current trend been working? I am a homeschooler type parent. My kids run circles around the public school kids. Do you really know what Ron Paul is saying about educational matters? I don't believe you do. <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Ron_Paul_Education.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Ron_Paul_Education.htm</a> Please understand, a "no" vote doesn't necessarily mean he's necessarly against something in principle. He's against the way it is structured. It probably goes against Constitutional law if he doesn't agree with it..
