Being a (L), myself, I find his Tweets (and I’m presuming these ARE his Tweets, not some page/intern/etc.) are beyond the pale.
I’ve understood Dr. Paul’s stances in the past, but there was no call for defaming a fallen soldier. Should we be trying to install ‘democracy’ across the globe? No. Do you win wars with the current RoE? No. Are we the World Police? No. But he should have left this poor soldier out of his condemnation for our current policy.
But, to cut ties with the a party because of one man’s stupid tirade....you must be a lone man in the woods by now. With the current GOP, Tokyo Rove, etc., there are damn few parties that still uphold and defend the Constitution. IMHO, you’re throwing the baby out with the bath water.
I’m with you on this. There’s plenty of places to make a stand against the dumber aspects of our foreign policy, but standing atop the grave of a dead serviceman isn’t one of them. I get the spirit of what he’s saying, but absolutely the wrong venue.
