talk about the old days when robert taft, mr. republican said that we shouldn't be engaged in these entangling alliance. he believed what the founders taught us. he didn't want to be in nato. we certainly don't need nato and the u.n. to tell us when to go to war. but we have seen a great difference. the majority of the american people are behind us on this whole war effort. they are tired of the war, costs too much money, too many people get injured, too many people get killed, too many people get sick. and the majority, 70 to 80% of the american people now are saying it's time to get out of afghanistan. so those are the issues, those are the issues that we have brought front and center. they're out there. they're not going to go away. and we have tremendous opportunity to continue this momentum. it won't be long that there's going to be an election up in new hampshire and, believe me, this momentum is going to continue. and this movement is going to continue, and we are going to keep scoring, just as we have tonight. so -- so to

what eisenhower said to beware of the military industrial complex, talk about the old days when robert taft, mr. republican, said that we shouldn't be engaged in these entangling alliances. he believed what the founders taught us. he didn't even want to be in nato. we certainly need nato and the u.n. to tell us when to go to war. but we have -- we have seen a great difference, the majority of the american people are behind us on this whole war effort. they're tired of the war, costs too much money, too many people get killed, too many people get injured. too many people get sick and the majority, maybe 70% or 80% of the american people now are saying it's time to get out of afghanistan. [ applause ] so those are the issues. those are the issues that we have brought front and center. they're out there. they're not going to go away and we have -- and we have tremendous opportunity to continue this momentum. it won't be long that there's going to be an election up in new hampshire, and, believe me, this momentum is going to continue, and this movement is going to continue and we are going to k

in 1952 robert taft and iek said it. a way of saying if you walk in lock step with your party 100% you're somehow more masculine than the folks who fight in the center. it's an inside baseball term. i worked with barbara boxer, that's true. that shows i can work across the aisle. i'm no squish. >> now we know. before this was a two-man race between romney and gingrich. now we do see santorum in some ways making some head way. what needs to happen tomorrow night for somebody to get out in front? >> well, look. the stereotype is it's the top three. it doesn't always bear out that way. fred thompson came in third in 2008. it is an expectations game. mitt romney is in poll position. if he doesn't end up on top, that'll get read as a loss. if newt gingrich for some reason outperforms, right nows' been making the case beings look, a vote for me is a vote to reject the negative ads that i've been attacked with. all signs show that santorum seems to have the big momentum behind him. he's trying to coal less social conservatives

tradition was always for less government and you know, positions you've taken, i include eisenhower and robert taft and actually i quote president george w. bush on his foreign policy of the year 2000 so to me it isn't out of mainstream. people won with what i'm saying and now that we're bankrupt it's very appealing. 75% of the american people are tired of the war in afghanistan, and so this is one thing. i think it's misconstrued to think that i don't want to deal with the world, because i do. i want to deal with it in a different fashion. i don't want to threaten and and occupy countries and lob missiles on countries. i want to deal with it in a different away. i fear this aggressed approach and this careless approach into trying to force other peoples to do our will, i think our job is to take care of ourselves and defend this country. >> on that note we have to leave it. congressman ron paul, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> you're welcome. >> it is now 7:14, here's matt. >>> nbc's david gregory, moderator of "meet the press" is in des moines and chief white house correspondent

he's taken on george bush and taken on the founders of this country and he's taken on robert taft. eisenhower who warned us about bankrupting this country and kowtowing to the military complex while undermining our national defense. >> what other foreign policy expert agrees with you? >> the american people and they're experts. they have to pay for it and they have to die for it and 75% of the american people are saying come home. come home! the soldiers, just think of the soldiers. i mean, why don't they have an opinion? they have to risk their lives. and they give me more money than the rest. twice as much as all the other candidates. why is that ignored? don't they have a say? shouldn't they be able to reverse, you know, give us an opinion so if you ignore that, you do it at risk because this is endless and our country is bankrupt so we can't afford it. we didn't beat the soviets with a nuclear war. we beat the soviets because they were ruined economically and that's what we're on the verge of doing to ourselves. >> speaking of risk, former governor sarah palin last night had so
