Myrtle Beach, S.C. (CNSNews.com) – While many conservatives object to Rep. Ron Paul’s foreign policy and national security stances – for which he drew boos at Monday night’s debate -- he has drawn strong support for his domestic proposals on monetary policy, such as auditing the Federal Reserve and cutting $1 trillion out of the federal budget.

Paul ended with a strong third place showing in the Iowa caucuses, and he placed second in the New Hampshire primary. While he is a long shot to win the Republican presidential nomination, Paul is likely to go into the Republican National Convention with a sizable delegate count, which would give him a say in the party platform.

On Monday, CNSNews.com asked Paul what kind of demands he would make when it comes to the GOP platform.

“That’s premature,” Paul responded.  “I don’t have anything written down.”

CNSNews.com followed, “Would you demand a look at the monetary system and a full audit of the Federal Reserve in the platform?”

Paul didn’t give a direct answer: “I said we could solve all our problems in there if we had people in Washington only that would obey the Constitution,” Paul said. “Enforcing the Constitution would be a pretty darn good platform.”

Paul also told CNSNews there’s no reason why his “strong national defense policy” shouldn’t attract national security conservatives to his presidential campaign.

On Monday, after speaking to a crowd at a Faith and Family Coalition forum in Myrtle Beach, CNSNews.com asked Paul, “If you were the nominee, could you get national security conservatives on board?”

“Why not? I have a strong national defense policy,” Paul responded. “I’ve been in the Air Force for five years. So, why not?”

Paul is the only candidate in the Republican presidential field who has called for a complete U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. He opposes the USA Patriot Act and believes that Congress should be required to declare war before the United States gets involved in foreign entanglements.

He also advocates respect for the sovereignty of other nations. At the debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C., Monday night, Paul drew boos when said, “[M]aybe we ought to consider a golden rule in foreign policy. Don’t do to other nations what we don’t want to have them do to us.”

Paul said the U.S. “endlessly” bombs other countries, “and then we wonder why they get upset with us?”
