A former congressional aide to Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has written a piece slamming the presidential hopeful's foreign-policy views, calling them "pure lunacy" in an online post on the conservative website Rightwingnews.com.
The long piece by former aide Eric Dondero alleges awkward treatment by Paul of gays and Jews, but saves its strongest criticisms for his policy positions.
"It’s his foreign policy that’s the problem; not so much some stupid and whacky things on race and gays he may have said or written in the past," he writes.
Dondero writes that Paul does not believe Israel should exist, that the United States should not have gotten involved in World War II, that the government might have known beforehand about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and that he planned to vote against the war in Afghanistan before changing his mind for political reasons.

Paul a kook on foreign policy? A self evident fact except to the young, naive, or intelligent.
RONULANS usually miss the most obvious facts and instead bait and switch
Can't have that, as it would put tens of thousands of government employees out of biz.
The only thing the WOD won, is a bigger, more controlling government, yet the drugs can be had anywhere.
It's allowed violent gangs to flourish are create all knew crime industries...lol..Can you imagine? Who would have ever thought?
Looks like big-gov roped a bunch of dopes into buying into their concocted WOD sham, which gave government a blank check and budget you'd never ever believe.
Your courts now have more cash registers than your local Walmart...lol
It was a win win for big gov!
I would like to see Ron Paul’s newsletters. I think it will be crystal clear one way or the other if this ex-aide is telling the truth.
Yeah, and look at our foreign polices with foreign neighbors Mexico for instance.
Top shelf diplomacy, runs like a Swiss watch and totally benefits the American citizens!
Policies too
LOL...Good for Paul. Live by the smear, die by the smear. Paul has run $2 million dollars worth of smears targetting Newt (and leaving Myth alone).
Couldn't happen to a nicer dirtbag.

“Paul is a kook.”
An increasingly dangerous one. The media hype of RP which grows daily is alarming.
“Yeah, and look at our foreign polices with foreign neighbors Mexico for instance.”
You don’t understand. American foreign policy is only supposed to serve the interests of foreigners, not Americans.

LOL!
Well then, they've done a hell of a job for Mexico, all at the expense of the U.S. tax payers!
“As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces”
Oh, gee - the Ft. Hood shooter was a military officer, too.
Maybe RP was not so overtly loony in the 80’s. He has, however, strongly dissed Reagan.
“Breaking news” has really been dumbed down. Along with “Alert” or “Urgent” e.g. on Fox.
FDR was a crypto-communist who went to war against Germany to protect the Soviets, and went to war with and (his successor) nuked Japan for the same reason. Additionally he put the Communists in power in China and Eastern Europe. FGR was a traitor, and the fruits of his treason are still apparent and flourishing both at home and abroad.
And it's painful obvious. Yet a thread about a Christmas day mass murder in Texas, was sent to "Chat".
Very odd.
I am not sure who added the breaking news category, but I know it wasn’t me.
I believe you. But I must say, that’s pretty interesting.
Does Ron Paul actually think that Hitler would have just stayed happily in Europe if he had won? Or that the Japanese would have settled with Hawaii and Alaska? Sheesh.
