"Peter King is a statist"

Peter King is a NeoCon and this is a battle between the NeoCons and the isolationists.

The battle began on May 22 when the Senate foreign relations committee held a vote on whether or not to intervene in Syria.

19 votes made up of dems and pubs to intervene in Syria. There were 3 votes opposed to intervening. That was Rand Paul the isolationist plus 2 antiwar pacifist democrats. Then, not long after that, those 3 were joined by isolationist Mike Lee to introduce legislation opposing intervention.

You need to understand, it is very common for rightwing isolationists to share the same foreign policy position as the anti war pacifist democrats.

Or, as they used to say in previous times: when it came to foreign policy, there wasn't much difference between Ron Paul and Dennis Kuccinich.

McGovern grew up in Mitchell, South Dakota, where he was a renowned debater. He volunteered for the U.S. Army Air Forces upon the country's entry into World War II and as a B-24 Liberator pilot flew 35 missions over German-occupied Europe. Among the medals bestowed upon him was a Distinguished Flying Cross for making a hazardous emergency landing of his damaged plane and saving his crew

Well, you can support Paul. For me, his stance on illegal aliens negate anything good that he says.

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.

True. But Paul is in cahoots with those who want to grant amnesty to the illegals.

McGovern was dangerously naive about communism from WWII to Vietnam. His record as Henry Wallace’s campaign manager in 1948 is worth study. Wallace later admitted he had been used by the Soviets during the buildup to the war in Korea.

In 1972 I was flying helicopters in Vietnam while McGovern was in Saigon undermining our allies & promising to go on his knees to Hanoi. During the campaign he stated that his enemy was not the Soviet or Red Chinese militaries, but the U.S. military, and vowed to cut defense spending by 25%.

Combat service does not render one’s political views as being immune to criticism. Not his, not mine or anybody’s.

True! And this writer wants nothing to do with him either!
