“Some people say the foreign policy has gained more strength and more support than any other issue, especially from the military. I get more money, twice as much money as all of the other candidates put together, so that is just talk. I get strong support from the military and I’m very proud of it,” he told TheDC after his speech at a “Faith and Freedom Coalition” event held before the presidential debate.

Some conservatives have labeled Paul’s foreign policy “isolationism.”  (RELATED: Mark Steyn: Ron Paul’s worldview is ‘sheer stupid, half-witted parochialism’)
