Paul can never “make up” for his anti-Semitism and willingness to throw Israel under the bus.
If he is correct on some fiscal issues, those ideas are better put forth by a true conservative who understands the real dangers to America from Islamists, Chicoms & Russia.
Ostriches make weak leaders.
Ron Paul is not a conservative-he is a Libertarian. How far does this do your own thing extend! Drugs? Abortion? Lots of his positions are deliberately unclear.
Imagine if Israel would launch a successful preemptive strike against a country that is building a nuclear bomb that threatens its very existence, and the American president would describe it as “a tragedy”.
And then, not only would the U.S. administration fail to “stand by its ally”, as Republicans pledged, but it would actually lend its hand to a UN Security Council decision that condemns Israel, calls on it to place its nuclear facilities under international supervision and demands that it pay reparations (!) for the damage it had wrought.
And then, to add insult to injury, the U.S. president would impose an embargo on further sales of F-16 aircraft because Israel had “violated its commitment to use the planes only in self-defense”.
