I’m staying off of the debate for the Republican primaries…you may have noticed. Except for expressing my extreme displeasure with Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, I’m just not getting involved. You guys pick the candidate, and I’ll vote for him.<\/p>\n
But, I did see some footage this morning of Ron Paul in last night’s debate and it should be discouraging for anyone who wants the best GOP candidate for the office. I’m pretty sure that, in the realm of foreign policy, Ron Paul is no better than the current occupant of the White House.<\/p>\n
Last night he said something to the effect of “Of course people hate us, what with us flying around dropping bombs on all of these countries”. I can’t find the exact quote anywhere on the internet, which doesn’t surprise me very much since the media wants Paul to be the GOP candidate. It’s not even listed in today’s Washington Post<\/a>‘s “jaw-dropping quotes” from last night’s debate.<\/p>\n Since when do we care if people hate us? Is that what our foreign policy should be based upon…making people like us? And the last time I checked, we were dropping bombs on people who kill Americans, or want to kill Americans. Are they all that worried about whether we like them or not?<\/p>\n A Ron Paul presidency would return us to a pre-1941 level of defense. Our troops will be carrying 2x4s to simulate rifles and driving cardboard tanks. His supporters include Code Pink and Michael Moore, who’ve been opposed to attacking our enemies since 9\/11, so what are these Paulian people thinking? Or are they thinking? Their favorite advice to me is “read a book” or “do your own research”. But they appear to be the most uneducated, inexperienced buffoons on the planet. <\/p>\n ADDED:<\/strong> I just saw this on Facebook from Jim Treacher<\/a>;<\/p>\n Some people think Ron Paul is confused and scatterbrained, but that’s only based on all available evidence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
