Ron Paul would let North Korea invade South Korea, China invade Taiwan and would have let Saddam have his way after the invasion of Kuwait.

"It is not Muslim fanaticism that is the culprit."

Paul is delusional if he really believes that.

[mnehring]

I don't think that's true. It is not Muslim fanaticism that is the culprit. The litmus test is whether we are actually occupying a territory. In the case of Saudi Arabia, that was holy land.

Here is the crux of where Paul misses it (OK, one of the ways he misses it...) He gives the islamic radicals the moral authority to say who can or cannot be on their 'holy land'. Why should they be the ones with that authority? The last time I checked, were were guests of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and pretty much every country there we are in with the exception of Iraq (without going into that argument again.)

So, why do the islamic extremists have the moral authority in his mind over those who welcome us to help with security (and in turn, securing a vital defense and economic resource for our country- oil.)

Where to begin?

I'll just keep things simple.

If Canada invades Montana?

Well, from what I have seen in other statements by Paul, we would be stuck with nuking them...

[traviskicks]

Montana probably could take care of it,

A little canadian dig here by Paul, LOL!

Why is it when a Conspiracy Theorist says something is true over and over, it has to be true....

but when someone points out facts the Conspiracy Theorist calls it “propaganda” and gets away with it EVERY TIME?

Ron Paul isn’t getting my vote IF he gets the nomination for the GOP (I’ll vote for Obama first... he might not put his hand over his heart for the National Anthem, but well... ok, I won’t vote for his ass either. May I’ll write in myself instead)

Ron Paul would let North Korea invade South Korea, China invade Taiwan and would have let Saddam have his way after the invasion of Kuwait.

You say that like its a bad thing...? Two of these are false fears. S Korea, as Paul said would destory N Korea in a war without our help (so why are we there?). China won't attack Taiwan because it would wreck its economy, plus Taiwan could defend itself pretty well too. Kuwait is a tyranny, a socialist tyranny, I don't see why we should defend one dictator from another. Paul was right, perhaps if we hadn't interviened we would have seen some bizarre things occuring there, like a necessitated alliance between israel and saudi.

Ron Paul bends over and faces Mecca.

“Is this case not different? Religious fanatics hate us and want to kill us because of our culture.

I don’t think that’s true. It is not Muslim fanaticism that is the culprit.”

Okay, I’ve tried to judge Paul on his record, but this...He’s just plain nuts.

[EternalVigilance]

We should be talking to people like this.

If Ron Paul's dog got rabies, I wonder if he'd try to negotiate with it.

[EternalVigilance]

It's the lack of diplomacy that is the greatest threat, not the weapons themselves.

There was once a guy named Neville Chamberlain who thought like this.

[JediHal]

Ron Paul would let North Korea invade South Korea, China invade Taiwan and would have let Saddam have his way after the invasion of Kuwait.

We need to look again at defense treaty obligations and see if they are still valid. We had no no such treaty with Kuwait in 1990 and still came to their defense. With that being the case why do we have defense treaties at all?

[West Coast Conservative]

When are the Paulestinians on FR going to wake up? This guy is a dangerous and naive joke.

[OESY]

Watch Russert on MTP this Sunday make Paul the standard bearer for the Republican Party before he demolishes both, if you can stand it.

Lol, Take that, you canucks!

[Walrus]

Muslim fanatics themselves publicly SAY they hate us, but I guess “Doctor Paul” knows they’re just joshing.

Listen, I play golf twice a week with guys just like Ron Paul. After the round, we sit around drinking beer and these old coots tell us how they would fix absolutely everything. It usually starts out with something like, “All you gotta do is .....”

They were turkeys when they were 30, and they’re still turkeys at 70.

[cowtowney]

Maybe somebody can explain why we ARE in Germany. Germany has the third largest economy (GDP) in the world, you know. The European Union together has the largest!

Why don’t they grow up and start spending a little more of their GDP on their own defense. Same for a lot of European countries.

Our country is getting ripped off.

When I see these posts I keep hoping it will be Ron Paul but no such luck.

[Gator113]

Every single time I see a thread about Paul, I have but one thought.
Every single time I hear what Paul has to say, I have but one thought.
Every single time I even think about Paul..... I have... but one thought.

That thought is....”Who in the hell left the lid off of the nut jar, again”. ;>)

I mean, the guy is kinda fun to watch and he does make me laugh. But my word, if he were to ever become the president, I would NEVER get any sleep and I would have to feed my watch dogs, a Doberman and a Chesapeake, raw meat....every single day!! That would cost a fortune! ;>)

I do hope he stays in the campaign though. as he makes me feel young again. I mean, he reminds my of when I was 10 years old, when I would laugh myself silly at the hilarious cartoons they used to show in the theaters, right before the real movie came on. Thank you Paul, thank you for the memories.

I can’t help but wonder if we should just hire this guy outright. He could be part of our new presidents’ cabinet. Yes, that’s what our country needs, a “Jester in Chief”. Or maybe he could be appointed as the “Humor Zar”...we all need to laugh more anyway, and this “crazy as a bedbug nut case”, could sure take the stress out of many of our lives.

So, I guess in a way, one could say that I support Paul, just not for President of the USA.
