I won’t ridicule you, but I’ll provide an anecdote. The day before the Iowa Caucuses, Ron Paul was on a local talk show in Iowa, and I managed to get through on the phone.
First, I applauded him for his great defense of the Constitution. Then, I asked him a foreign policy question that went something like this:
Dr. Paul, knowing the goals of the mullahs and Ahmadinejad, if North Korea sent a ship with nuclear tipped missiles to Iran, would you board and seize or sink the ship?
ANSWER: Why would we do that?
That answer told me everything I needed to know about that man as the commander in chief. I know what Reagan would do. I know what Bush would do.
He is wrong on defense and he is wrong on trade
