Ron Paul [R-TX] Stands out from the Crowd

The poor man and his supporters do not even realize most of the civilized world think he is insane.

My mom got an email a while back from a Ron Paul supporter who goes to our church. She responded to him with a reasoned argument as to why she doesn't support Paul (she isn't sure who she's supporting yet, only that it won't be Paul or Giuliani). His answer back to her was a bit sarcastic. Yesterday, she forwarded him an email I had sent her telling her that Fred Thompson was going to be on Hannity & Colmes after the debate. She didn't push Fred Thompson in any way because she's not sure she likes him - the email reminded everyone that there was a Republican debate at 7 PM and then mentioned that there was another candidate that it would be good to get to know, and that he would be on H&C right after the debate. This is his response to her:

I think that Fred Thompson has a real chance at the Republican nomination due to one and only one fact, the New World Order Globalist controlled propaganda media is pushing for the man........ and Republicans as well as most Americans can't think past what CNN or FOX tells them.

That said....... you can take me off your political email list.....I am done with the political thing...... America as we knew it is finished and America will get what it deserves.

This tells me all I need to know about Ron Paul and his followers. They must drink kool-aid every chance they get.

As many as it takes to get the job done. Iran’s citizens have a choice to make - either continue to support their terrorist-loving regime and take a chance that they could be killed in such a pre-emptive strike, or take action to change their nation’s leadership. It is inevitable that some civilians will be killed, but I’m not sure how many of them will be “innocent”. Those who support the I’mADenofJihad regime and its desire to destroy Israel are certainly not.

Have recent events bolstered your confidence in our President and Congress sufficiently that you trust them to determine which nations we should attack preemptively?

In general no but when specifically talking about Iran, which I believe was offered as the primary example, then the sooner the better.

[Swordfished]

How many nations would you suggest we disarm? What about North Korea? China? Pakistan?

Good point. We're going to be very busy if we're going to go around the world eliminating every potential threat to us.

Nuclear Pakistan comes to mind.

Those roadside IEDs never hurt no one.

No one on a road in the USA, that is. Too bad we can't say the same for illegal aliens, eh?

Of course we can trust President Bush to guide us in our overseas adventures, even though he's not to be trusted with our border security.

To adhere to Washington’s advise two hundred years ago would not have allowed us to join/create NATO. Please tell me how that would have been a good thing.
Your parsing of words is disingenuous. I suppose you were opposed to our actions against al Qaeda and the Taleban in Afghanistan?
Using your logic, should Britain have declared war on Germany after Hitler invaded Poland?
Should Nixon have stood by and not sent tanks and military supplies to Israel during the 72 war with Egypt?

...a nation that has not harmed us, namely Iran

I suppose that in your view, sponsoring terrorist attacks against Americans and taking innocent American civilians hostage, as has occurred in recent months, doesn't constitute "harming" us.

"continues to stand out from that crowd."

Is that because his face resembles 10 miles of bad road? ;-)

There must be a balance between isolationism and free markets which have antifreeze from China coming into our borders. It is a brave new world, but one which everyone must grow accustomed to.

And “nation building” (as much as I hate that phrase) is sometimes necessary in a post 9/11 world.

Ron Paul has an outdated political view of the world. He has no chance of getting the nomination. Honestly, I thought he would have dropped out after the first debate.

he appeared desperate and whiny. he did not come off as the unshakable leader type which the POTUS must be

If our government fails to take nuclear preemptive action against Iran, what do you, personally, intend to do about it?

Hope you have the opportunity to vote for candidates who will do what you desire?

And what will you do if you don’t get that opportunity, or if you do, and they are elected but fail to carry out your wishes?

Will you put your own life on the line to get what you want, an attack on Iran?

[Fiji Hill]

Who said anything about a nuclear attack on Iran? I'm sure we have conventional weapons that can do the job.

By threatening to nuke Israel, Iran's leaders have made its nuclear weapons program a legitimate target for "assertive disarmament."

You mean he's not a good actor?

Always Right said; "Germany never harmed us."

What is this all about? Would you like to try to explain that?

[gas0linealley]

Is that you, sitting behind Chavez?

[drpix]

Dah?

[RightFighter]

I never said anything about wanting an attack on Iran, nuclear or otherwise. My hope is that the leadership in Iran will wake up and realize that they are on a very dangerous path and that they would be better off as a nation to abandon their nuclear weapons ambitions, as well as their desire to destroy Israel.
