Why doesn’t everyone grow up and focus on facts instead of this hysterical and shrill name-calling that is more typical of the far left.

Facts??? Facts??? Ron Paul came out on public TV during a nationwide debate and said he was drafted then proceeded to lecture Newt on military service. Ron Paul is a flat out liar. Period!

OK - so now you say he was “not” drafted yet evaded Viet Nam by going into the Air Force? Where is the problem with this argument?

The fact is that he did serve and Newt did not - that was the point. Maybe he was not technically drafted, but the more important fact is that he served. (But, I have not seen proof that he was not drafted.)

You are latching onto a relatively insignificant semantic and evolving that into something that is just not there.

There are plenty of big policy issues to challenge him or any other candidate on, but this just derails the discussion into the irrelevant and drowns out the important stuff.
