A vote for Ron Paul is a direct slap in the face to the sacrifices my son has made for this country in both Iraq and in the Far East.

Your statement is a direct slap to the truth, and a direct slap in the face of thousands of military people who support Ron Paul.

Ron Paul has NOT said he's against the military - he said he's against the use of the military AS POLICE. And he's pointed out that trying to do a job that they are Not trained for, is what is getting most of them killed.

So slap yourself, because there are a lot of dead US Military who got that way running around trying to play cop to a bunch of thugs, instead of destroying them or getting out.

Destroying them or getting out - that, VERBATIM, is Ron Paul's declared use of the military.

And anyone who doesn't agree with it, IMO, is slapping the face of every military person risking their lives RIGHT NOW who are forced to play footsie with a deadly enemy.

I agree. That lunatic would be as much of a disaster for the country as Obama.

Thanks to your son for serving his country and doing so much, when all others do is sit and snipe. God bless him.

Your son’s sacrifices are appreciated, but I have no confidence that this Administration is pursuing a strategy that makes those sacrifices sensible.

And having only 300 nuclear weapons puts America at risk in a way that far exceeds anything going on in the Mideast. It is our Republican leaders slapping us in the face by tolerating the traitors in this Administration, starting at the top.

I commend the following anti-Paul article to your attention (http://www.steynonline.com/4812/paul-the-parochial); it begins:

“Uncle Sam has now spent a decade running around the Hindu Kush building grade schools and shoveling taxpayer-funded Viagra to every elderly village headman with one too many child brides. According to the World Bank, the Western military/aid presence accounts for 97 percent of Afghanistan’s GDP. And, within a week of the West’s departure, it will be as if that 97 percent had never been there, and all that remains will be the same old 3 percent tribal dump of mullahs, warlords, poppy barons, and pederasts, all as charmingly unspoiled as if the U.S. and its allies had quit 48 hours after toppling the Taliban in 2001.

“It is two-thirds of a century since the alleged hyperpower last unambiguously won a war, and that ought to prompt a little serious consideration of the matter.”
