Confused is no path to the presidency
Do you two really believe Paul thinks he can be president?
Get a grip - the man is not delusional.
Not at all.
But it is good debate.
Not relevant, and proof of tpaine's point.
Reagan (actually George H. W. Bush) didn't send in USAEUR (US Army Europe) to tear the bloody thing down. The Germans did that on their own.
The U.S. would have immediately hit hard back at Al-Qaida mere minutes after the towers crumbled had Paul been President, instead of waiting for the UN's permission.
Oh, I get it! He’s running for President but he doesn’t think he has a chance- He’s just trying to shape the debate. Who needs to get a grip?
And who would know better why they are angry, than the people who actually are angry?
That was a no brainer, and just common sense.
i didn't hear Rep Paul saying that we should apologise to them, and neither did you.
How much more immediately do you want than we did? If you think we waited for UN approval, I refer you to the Iraq invasion.
The only smear campaign going on is by Paul and his cult...smearing their country. There’s no conspiracy here. Paul will go down in flames because he’s a nutroot, not because anyone is secretly plotting against him.
No one has to smear Ron - he did it too himself. He made himself VERY clear.
Jefferson would have put a bullet through Paul’s head.
Yes, Ron wants to TALK. He is an anti-war fanatic who believes we can reason with barbarians.
As evidenced by all of the dead bodies TJ left in his wake, right? Can’t we have a debate without going over the cliff?
Now THAT is a salient point well made.
Because Jefferson brought war to the Moslem pirates - who would not suffer an anti-war nutjob like Paul lightly.
What was the ugly blowback from the invasion of France and the Marianas in 1944? The invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa in 1945?
Amazing how many people here at FR have bought into Guiliani's smear tactic.
Tpaine opens this thread with a quote from Paul,
"-- Meddling in the affairs of others often fosters animosity and a desire for retaliation, and we would never allow other countries to do to us some of the same things that the US is doing to them --"
about which tpaine says, "it amazes me to see the scores of people who cannot seem to grasp those facts" of a "fairly simple concept."
FReeper pissant posts this to tpaine:
Who gives a rats ass why the stupid goatf****s want to kill us. We just need to kill them first.
Given that tpaine is approving of when Paul said, "Meddling in the affairs of others often fosters animosity and a desire for retaliation," you'd think that tpaine wouldn't approve of pissant's views because killing stupid goatf****s first would seem to be the "meddling" he and Paul so disapprove of. Well, here's tpaine's reply to pissant:
I've been saying that since 9/11.
Actually, well before 9/11 I was calling for personal 'hits' on terrorist leaders. If we would have been killing the individual fanatics for the last 20 years or so, Iraq would have been unnecessary.
So, he's against "meddling in the afairs of others," but also for "personal 'hits' on terrorist leaders" -- a textbook case in cognitive dissonance if there ever was one.
I didn't think you'd answer the cluebat in #120, tpaine, and I'm guessing you'll ignore this post also. Your cocky attitude in telling me to "run along" is just your mask for not even knowing what you stand for as evidenced by your endorsing contradictory ideas between your posting this thread and your reply, 14 mintutes later, to pissant.
WTF? You are blaming Rudy? It was Ron Paul that smeared America on national television. Did you watch the debate?
