Hey Petey, who are we fighting.

He can’t tell us, it’s a state secret.

King wasn’t like this years ago, as he was pragmatic. Odumbo got to him somehow.

King is setting up a strawman/ad hom attack. He is flailing as most establishmnet GOP types do under these circumstances.

Rand Paul is neither isolationist nor interventionist. Establishment GOP tend to be interventionist, while the Obama/Hillary establishment Dem types will intervene at the drop of a hat for humanitarian reasons - that is to save Muslims.

Then again, I don’t remember Bush Jr. intervening in Sudan or other places in Africa where Christians were slaughtered. But he did intervene to save Muslims.

Peter King and other GOP-e types are shaking at the info Greenwald is going to drop on Friday.

He is still living in the 2002 GWB ‘you are either with us or against us’ days.

Long gone.

Big words from someone from a state that hasn’t voted Republican since Pres. Reagan’s two victories. If you can’t win your own state for the GOP, you shouldn’t hand out advice to politicians from Republican states.

Peter King is a statist.

1. The threat from present day terrorists are more analogous to the Anarchist problem around 1900, than the desperate struggle with Soviet (Bolshevik) Communism, that McGovern failed to fully grasp.

2. The current NSA projects far exceed anything done domestically during our desperate struggle with Communism.

3. The kindest thing one can say about Peter King, is that he totally lacks any sense of proportion. His constituents need to query him as to just what are his priorities. They are not appear to be those of a traditionally minded American.

Is King doing the bidding or Christie or Bush? Not that it really matters.

Yeah, this from the Nelson Rockefeller of the republican party. Goldwater, too dangerous. Reagan, too dangerous. Paul, too dangerous.

Yayyy! Gerald Ford’s our nomiee! Yayyy! George Bush is our nominee! Yaayyy! Bob Dole is our nominee! Yayyyy! John McCain is our nominee! Yayyyy! Mitt Romney’s our nominee!

See a pattern?? Goldwater inspired a conservative revolution. Reagaan won two landslde elections and was basically responsible for a third (1988). We’ll see what history has to say about Paul, but we could certainly do worse! And have! (see above list)

I didn't necessarily agree with McGovern, but I thought he was a good man. Paul should be honored to be compared to him.

I read "The Wild Blue", which was about his unit. There's a reason why he was anti-war, and it wasn't solely political.

Peter King - the House’s version of John McCain. He never saw a war he didn’t like.

He used to be an 80% Republican... but these days I can hardly tell him from any other run of the mill dim.

“King sharply chastised Paul for suggesting admitted NSA leaker Edward Snowden was performing an act of civil disobedience when he revealed the massive snooping programs”

Yeh us plebes aren’t supposed to find out about the masters are doing.

Pete King is a disloyal POS and should not be trusted. He’s in cahoots with RATS like Schumer the Clintons and RINOs McCain and Graham.
