Novak likes the idea of President Paul
Washington Times ^ | 7/31/07 | Eric Pfieffer

Posted on 07/31/2007 12:51:59 PM PDT by traviskicks

Bob Novak stopped by the Heritage Foundation today for a lunchtime discussion with conservative bloggers about his new professional autobiography, The Prince of Darkness. While he lamented the practice of reporters acting as opinion drivers and news analysts, Novak wasn't shy about offering a few opinions of his own. When asked to rate the current field of Republican presidential candidates, Novak didn't have any kind words for the current top-tier field of Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and John McCain.

Ron Paul has one outstanding Wikipedia. How can a true conservative not like it. I bet the ones who dislike Ron Paul have never seen his Wikipedia. Very impressive resume.

We would not be in the UN very long if he was Prez.

Of course we would.

Our membership in the UN is pursuant to a treaty made by the Senate.

In the very unlikely circumstance that Ron Paul were to become President he could not unilaterally void a treaty.

"why do you keep posting your picture on these threads?"

Because the admins @ Freerepublic allow me to.

Why do you support a candidate that is so wrong on foreign policy, that it aids our enemies?

The most conservative candidate in the race gets criticized by self-described "conservatives" for not expressing his foreign policy positions in the requisite Toby-Keith-lyric soundbites. ;)

Ron Paul, who is a libertarian and not a conservative, is largely criticized by actual conservatives because his positions on foreign policy are dangerous to the Republic and border on conspiracy theory, not because he would make a poor Nashville lyricist.

From Wikipedia:

Paul spoke and voted against the Iraq War Resolution, which authorized the war, and continues to condemn the US presence in Iraq, and what he charges is the use of the War on Terror to curtail civil liberties.

Paul has recently spoken against the "dangerous military confrontation approaching with Iran and supported by many in leadership on both sides of the aisle"

He has also broken with his party by voting against the Patriot Act in 2001 and again in 2005...

Paul is only one of two congressmen (the other is Dennis Kucinich) who voted against the Rothman-Kirk Resolution which calls on UN to charge Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with violating the genocide convention and UN charter.


So...what's the difference between him and Kucinich or Cynthia McKinney?

To a point, but as a Congress critter he has for several years submitted leg. that:

- Relinquishing all U.S. participation in the United Nations and any subsidiary groups and agreements.

— Removing the U.N. headquarters out of New York City and revoking all of its governmental privileges.

— Ending U.S. financial support for U.N. operational and “peacekeeping” missions.

I’m sure, in his budget, there would be no room for funding the UN.

I'm not a Paul supporter, but why do people make these ridiculously uninformed statements about the guy, like this one. Kucinich was a fervant supporter of Kofi Annan and is a fervant supporter of the United Nations. Paul wants to pull out of the United Nations. Their foreign policy is similar why? Because they agree on on one foreign policy area - Iraq? George Bush's foreign policy is closer to Kucinich's than Ron Paul's.

Novak’s opinion on anything has come to mean little to nothing, mostly nothing.

Keep going, it is one of my favs...

Nothing like pointing out a group of folks who actually believe a Washington Country Club Think Tank is a greater threat to our nation than the terrorist who have already demonstrated they are.

"I bet the ones who dislike Ron Paul have never seen his Wikipedia."

Who do you think writes copy on Wikipedia?

It is user created content, i.e., some Paulistinian wrote all of the stuff about Ron Paul on the Wikipedia site.

Paul and Kucinich are in exact agreement on Iraq, Iran, Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, etc.

This is the kind of thing that amuses me: Ron Paul supporters love to claim that a key reason why they love him so is his allegedly deep knowledge of the US Constitution - yet the St. Pauli Girls will also claim that if their hero is elected he will immediately remove us from the UN or abolish the IRS or stop sending foreign aid to Israel or any number of things which the President has no constitutional authority to do.

In other words, I am supposed to believe that Ron Paul is the Constitution's last defender based on the word of a crew of morons who demonstrably know nothing about the Constitution.

Ron Paul is too libertarian. His best case scenario about marriage is just unrealistic and crazy. If the gov’t recognizes individuals, then it makes sense that the gov’t should recognize how individuals come into being and are nutured into adulthood, at which time they make up the whole we call a Nation. Individuals don’t just pop into existence at 18.

At this point I’m not supporting any candidate, but FR criticism of Paul and deification of Thompson (by essentially the same group of “conservative” posters) are evidence of a serious disconnect from the reality of the positions they have taken over the years.
