Your talking point is a straw man. All that Paul said amounted to "foreign policy has repercussions," including ours, and the entire diplomatic corps would agree with that assessment.
I think you're just terrified that Paul's ideas might have some traction. By way of allaying your fears not one little bit, I will tell you this:
Whether Paul wins or loses, whether he remains in politics or leaves the public arena, candidates like Paul are only a symptom. It's Ron Paul now, and if it's not Ron Paul tomorrow it'll be someone else just as frightening to you and yours. This symptom will not go away until the underlying cause...conservative discontent with the Republican party...is laid to rest.
You may hate Ron Paul and every Freeper who supports him with a virulent and unending hate, but we're not the problem. We are a symptom. Conservative disaffection is real, and must be dealt with, for the good of the country.
Unless surrendering in Iraq is your # 1 issue, like so many other Paulistinians, then you are riding the wrong horse.
Most importantly, unless you have been living in a cave, the "Ron Paul" cult is being fueled by leftist kooks, not Conservative discontent.
Want proof?
Read the comments from my Conservative brothers on this very thread. Are you going to next tell me that they are not Conservatives?
Wrong! Context is everything! If a woman wearing a short skirt were raped and I responded "provocative dress has repercussions" I would be lynched, and rightly so.
