Thanks to the Future of Freedom Foundation for their participation in our Saturday War on Terror panel at CPAC and for the following videos of the event. It was great to have so many different speakers representing many different points of view, but with all agreeing that it's time to end our interventionist foreign policy.

Ron Paul Wins Presidential Straw Poll at CPAC
FOXNews.com

Paul, a Republican congressman from Texas known for his libertarian views, ran for president in 2008 but was never a serious contender for the GOP nomination.

Ron Paul has ended Mitt Romney's three-year run as conservatives' favorite for president, taking 31 percent of the vote in the Conservative Political Action Conference's annual straw poll.

Paul, a Republican congressman from Texas known for his libertarian views, ran for president in 2008 but was never a serious contender for the GOP nomination.

Romney, former Massachusetts governor and also a 2008 GOP candidate, has won the last three presidential straw polls at the annual conference. This year, he came in second, with 22 percent.

Sarah Palin, who didn't attend the conference, was a distant third in the straw poll, with 7 percent, followed by Tim Pawlenty, the Minnesota governor, and Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana.

The straw poll is not binding -- and not necessarily a good forecaster, given that in 2008, John McCain went on to take the party's nomination over Romney.

Ron Paul Rocks CPAC

February 19, 2010 - 5:52 PM | by: Kelley Beaucar Vlahos

Rep. Ron Paul, former Republican presidential candidate and leading light of the current libertarian grassroots movement, enjoyed a huge rock star moment at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), as he took the stage Friday to thunderous applause and a standing ovation in a ballroom filled to capacity.

Just two years ago, before the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, Paul was practically persona non grata -- this conservative movement had disdained his warnings about economic collapse and his belief that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were unconstitutional and counterproductive. At the Republican National Convention, some of his delegates were silenced from declaring their vote during the main roll call. Paul himself -- a sitting congressman -- had his access to the floor restricted.

Times have changed. His movement has raised millions of dollars despite his failed candidacy and has gone on to grow grassroots organizations, including the Campaign for Liberty, which made sure it had a huge presence at CPAC this year. Though some libertarians who spoke with Foxnews.com said there are plenty of areas where they disagree, they have felt a better reception at CPAC this year, generally.

Paul has a lot to do with that. After sharing his long-held views on the war -- "an unconstitutional war costs a lot of money and undermines the constitution. If you like small government, you need to work hard to have a strong national defense that is not so militant and not pretend we can tell the rest of the world how to live" -- he found more common ground with the movement conservatives on economic issues.

But he reminded the audience that freedom doesn't "only come in pieces" -- the constitution protects both economic liberty and personal liberty. "For those who might disagree, I just urge you to think about it seriously."

Paul seemed to want to bridge the long divide and was willing to make his case for the greater cause. "Something is coming together, something is brewing. Something big is going to come out of what is going on today."
