Excellent point. Lefties and Paulites like to use the term “chickenhawk.” Dems have also actively recruited military to run for office. It is all interconnected.

The saddest thing about Ron Paul is that he has many great points. He just may not be the best spokesman for conservatism. Just because he is the only candidate who talks about the Federal Reserve and the gold standard etc does not mean those are kooky issues. He stepped on the 3rd rail though, when he said (rightly, I believe) that they attacked us for being over there. Osama has said it: he hated that we were in Saudi Arabia. That is not the same as saying we deserved it, or caused it. That said, they (Al Qaeda) can pound sand. The reason why they were mad we were there, was that we were infidels. So in a way, both Bush AND Paul are right.
