I, personally, have an issue, from what I have read, about his foreign policy stance and, most certainly, his past record on voting regarding illegals (for this information, I thank AuntB). Having said that, I also believe that commentary made on his own comments concerning the Middle East have been taken way out of context and misrepresented to put him into, once again, a derogatory light.
The man “believes” that the reason we were attacked on September 11th, 2001, was because the United States has a military presence in the Middle East. The enemy would hate us if we had a military presence in Ohio! They hate us and attack our interests because the want to control all of the world with their twisted religious belief system from 1400 years ago. The are not interested in peaceful coexistence, they are interested in complete domination.
His voting on the illegal immigration is usually taken out of context as he votes against numerous bills attached to spending increases that he otherwise would vote for (like for example AuntB listed he voted against a wall a few years ago but fails to mention he voted for it this year, I haven’t looked into it much but I’m sure there was more attached to it both times).
