WMD delivery today:
Perhaps our Foreign Policy evolved for a reason as well...

Paul ranks alongside ultra-liberal Dennis Kucinich as having the weakest foreign policy stances in the U.S. House. Tuesday, Paul and Kucinich were two of only 12 House members that voted against imposing new sanctions on Iran. The resolution that would penalize foreign companies from selling oil to Iran passed 412-12. "This will unify the Iranian people against us," Paul incorrectly predicts.

This guy knows for an absolute fact what will happen in the future, and yet he won't give me a few lousy lottery numbers? Jerk!
The Left and the Right often unite on issues for different reasons, like being against NAFTA.

NAFTA SHAFTA really put the screws to the American people too.
What garbage. Kucinich wants Leftists to destroy us from within while we turn belly-up to foreign attack.
Paul believes true free trade and anti-socialism will make us so stron economically it will have a destructive economic effect on foreign tyrannies without us having to go to war.
Disagree with Paul's theories of protecting America if you want, but he acknowledges the need for a strong country and a means to defend it. Kucinich want to dissolve the country in collectivist goo and kill it's very essence. Equating the two is absurd.
Which is usually juuuuust about the time his yap opens.
Ron Paul is correct on many things, but he sometimes lets his rigid ideology make a decision for him on some things also.
It worked so well for the America First folks back in the late 30’s early 40’s ru paul just had to copy it
Think I'll head back over to the Tiger threads.
You're talking about Kucinich. One of the most massive socialist expansions in America's history occurred precisely in the late 30’s early 40’s - you might remember a guy named Roosevelt? But that's against everything Paul has ever stood for.
lol
...Yer right, but,,, save for later response...
...Back to work, fer now...
Yes it did, and it was opposed by a coalition of the extreme Left and Right.
Ron Paul wants to abolish federal departments; not create them like Kookcinich and his “department of peace” crap.
“It is our true policy to steer clear of entangling alliances with any portion of the foreign world.”

“Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations- entangling alliances with none.”

This is the truth regarding Ron Paul’s foreign policy.

Good point. One that I don’t necessarily disagree with in sentiment, but, as a matter of historical fact, Washington concluded a mutual defense treaty with France in 1778(or thereabouts), thus creating the first entangling foreign alliance of the young United States.
Look it up and learn how “entangling” this treaty became as tensions between Britian and France escalated and the undeclared naval war vs. France broke out under Madison’s watch.
Washington’s “policy” and his “reality” turned out to be 2 different things. Maybe like Ron Paul, it sounds good until reality intrudes.
