If Paul gets the anti dumb fuck Neocon war position that we can't literally afford, then according to this poll that might be vastly in his favor.
Go Paul!

Once Paul's foreign policy views become better known he is toast in the GOP. All we need is clips of him saying the US caused 9/11, we are provoking Iran, and Iran has every right to have a nuke.
That's some kind of crazy.
Uhhh, let me think.There wont be a war with either Iran or Syria
Unless we elect Republicans
I wish I could be certain of that. The republicans certainly talk about it more. But bravado is different than will. Obama's willingness to keep the war machine running seems as solid as Bush. I have to give him some credit for getting us out of Iraq though. Didn't really think that would happen.
You can see the Republican saber rattling on Iran already. They are already convinced that not only does Iran have nukes (within weeks!) but they are ready to attack us!
Where have we seen this before?

It looks like we're headed in that direction. What do you think?

Hell yes! That's what I'm hoping for honestly. Libertarians, and libertarian minded Tea Partiers need to understand who they're dealing with when it comes to the Republicans.

Yup, the wookie suiters will become about as relevant as Jonestown.

seriously man... don't you ever get tired of the "sky is falling" thing? It seems like every day you come up with some apocalyptic thread and when we click on the thread, it's the same old stuff... "Obama is _______, and it's going to ruin us!"
You are the epitome of Chicken Little.

You keep saying shit like that like it's some kind of horse race or something. Don't you give rat's ass about right and wrong? Or is it all about 'winning' to you?

No, it is about right and wrong.
ANd the wookie suiters are about as wrong as you can get. The country wasn't founded on drug use and cowardice. This is why Ron Paul has bombed in every national election.
Why did the neocons oppose Reagan when he started to form an alliance with Gorby?
Because the neocons did not want the Cold War to end. The Cold War was essential not only for increasing Pentagon budgets, but it gave the US a necessary context to intervene in the 3rd world (in order to protect global supply chains and expand resource/labor markets). If you look at America's postwar interventions, they were always framed as a defense against encroaching communism. The Soviet Union also benefited from the Cold War, because they used the "capitalist threat" to pull their satellite states more firmly under their "protective" wing. Both superpowers used the threat posed by the other to manage their respective parts of the globe.
The neocons realized that the Soviet Threat gave them a context to spread bases across the globe, including most importantly in the middle east. Without those bases, America would not be able to control the global market system (which fuels the American economy and generously rewards the large corporate interests which own Washington).
The reason the mainstream GOP candidates are threatening war against Iran, Syria, etc. is because they have always used national security as a context for intervention in vital global regions. Secondly, war presidents have an easier time avoiding domestic economic woes. Bush used Iraq to defeat Kerry.
Gingrich and Romney are not only beholden to the Pentagon and the neocons, but they have a much better chance of winning a second term if the issue is terrorism as opposed to unemployment.
Republicans always do better when they are protecting the country from evil-doers. They always build National Security into their governing strategy. Reagan's evil empire and Bush's evil doers are part of the dog whistle demonology used to fire up the base: gays, baby killers, illegals, socialists, marxists, liberals, and terrorists. From McCarthy's Red Scare to the War on Terrorism: the Right always uses domestic and foreign threats to mobilize the American people. This allows them to control the headlines and dictate the issues of elections.
I have been saying this for the last 2 years. The War on Terrorism is coming back in 2012. The Republicans always use National Security to govern the country. Always.
God Help Us.

This is a really astute point. The hallmark of the neo cons is their lust for the 'good old days' of the cold war... and in the 'War on Terror' they have found the same kind of perpetual enemy.
Have you, by any chance seen the brilliant BBC documentary "The Power of Nightmares"?
And here we see how the wookie suiters and the libs are really allies. There is no difference.
You should watch that documentary. See what you think.
