True. But there was also no difference on foreign policy between the Doc and Dennis Kookcinich.
Paul, what can I say.
Better than McStain overall of course but could he be trusted to fulfill the primary job of the President?
When he first announced I thought “oh that’s nice” even though I agree with most of his platform and love his NO votes in the house I didn’t envision voting in the primary for what I viewed as an unviable. What with the inordinate focus on weird monetary things and all.
Then he basically said “they hate us cause we’re over there....”. Now I’m not super gungho on foreign intervention. I was ready to bail on Iraq before the surge worked (McLame was right? Holy S**t broken clock) But Paul just doesn’t “get it.” He looked semi-senile, deer in the headlights, to me once when confronted by a reporter. Lowell Wicker was praising him.... “Paul is what the Republicans used to be.”
Then he cross endorsed along with Boob Barr and Chuck Baldwin, leftists Ralph “to the right of Obama perhaps????” Nader and Cynthia “9-11 truther/honky hater/extreme moonbat” McKinney. A ridiculous act of idiotic third party kumbayahism.
He later switched to just endorsing Baldwin after Boob Barr pissed him off somehow.
He attracted a lot of support from liberal fauxlibertarians, who eventually voted for Nader or OBAMA.
The Constitution Party in Montana broke ranks with the national party and nominated him, I figure he had to have agreeded. His presence nearly tipped the state to Obama. Now I’m no longer certain whether a President McStain wouldn’t be worse for us in the long run (if nature had shortened his term that’s another story...) but I don’t like seeing that.
