This goes back to something I’ve said several times, if it wasn’t for Paul’s followers, I would never have looked so closely at his record- a record I believe is not what people make him out to be. I seen an opportunist who has been in congress so long, he is just enjoying the camera time and attention. He is willing to sell a piece of his campaign’s soul for the attention.
Unfortunately the disaffected Deaniacs have gravitated to Paul and have effectively steered his campaign to total illegitimacy .
I do respect their the enthusiasim though .
I hope that the Republican nominee’s campaign has the same energy and enthusiasim as the Paul campaign ,we are going to need it .
Agreed, except perhaps to describe him as anti-war. I think he supported the use of force in Afghanistan and was trying to get a formal declaration of war for Iraq. As far as to whether a formal declaration or just a authorization for a use of force was proper, seems to be largely a matter of differing opinions.
Personally, I would have preferred (as if my opinion mattered) a formal declaration for Iraq, since it had a functioning government against which to wage a war. This wasn't the case in Afghanistan.
Yep, Dr. Paul really does have radical kooks supporting his campaign, no doubt about it:
