I knew nothing about Paul before last week's debate and would have even put that aside, if I had not come to know - here on FR - how much his supporters sound like the Michael Moores and Noam Chomskys of the Left.
Consider this— if Bush and Blair were around in the 1930s, Hitler and Mussolini would have been squashed like bugs. Ron Paul is an idiot.
You sound like one of those misguided people who think we can protect ourselves by patroling the border and beefing up port security. You might as well build the Maginot Line. Such measures do nothing to prevent our enemies from arming themselves to the teeth possibly with the weapons of Armageddon.
This is why we need to be on offense against terrorism. The fact that MAD doesn’t work with dark age fanatics with mass suicide on the brain should be proof enough.
Lastly, consider your Japanese point. Suppose we did know that the Japanese had violent intentions toward us. If you are condemning Roosevelt for inaction, then preemptive action against the Japanese in the Pacific must be what you’re arguing. But suspect you haven’t deduced any conclusions from your premises yet, which is why *I* am here to help.
He must be an isolationist. Naval gazing like this keeps our eye off of the enemy we must defeat.
Any free and open society can be hit by a surprise attack. The Paulist problem is that they don't believe in fighting back. For details on this position, go to LewRockwell.com. You might want to wash your hands afterward.
I assign Paul to STFU.
If Giuliani is as liberal as people say, he would be Maher’s favorite Republican. So either Rudy isn’t quite so liberal or Maher is just a dumbass who doesn’t know a liberal when he sees one.
Who is he recommending? Noam Chomsky? There isn’t much difference between he and Paul on the Mideast.
I detect that those who advocate for Paul’s candidacy have a hidden agenda: The legalization of drugs.
A kook?
Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
What’s not to like?
I didn’t say he WAS a kook, I said the media was using him AS a kook,casting him in that role, in this back and forth with Giuliani, in order to make Giuliani look good.
Both are participating in this little drama, obviously to get the most they can out of it.

One thing that is puzzling me is where and how Rudy transformed his admirable deportment in the 911 aftermath into a profound expertise on national secirity. I just don't see it. He's gotten a rep that he hasn't really earned.
Thanks for posting this.
Giuliani is so far left that liberal talking heads are criticizing him.
We witnessed Giuliani dealing with the aftermath of those attacks - a huge leap from the experience of dealing with terrorists.
Giuliani disgracefully exploits those attacks for his own political ambitions.
