Rand Paul’s message to Republican convention: Fuck the Pentagon

[AquaAthena]

Well, Rand Paul didn't quite exactly say "Fuck", that's my emphasis but he may as well as of used that word because of how the the right-wing caters to and dangerously kisses ass when it comes to the military. Look for Paul to get roundly booed by the Republican "Military Industrial Complex" crowd at the convention if he gets to speak that is.

Fiscal-responsibility does not apply to our armed-forces according to the Republicans.




Rand Paul

Talk about 'biting the hand that feeds you'.

Go ahead... discuss already.

Too bad about that turnout for Paul:

About 1,500, far less than the expected 10,000

From the Sunshine State News Network, "Day One of Ron Paul Fest: Jaded Conservatives, Libertarians Celebrate Liberty":

Paul Fest,” as its supporters routinely refer to the event, got off to a slow but spirited start, as a couple of hundred libertarian and liberty-sympathizing enthusiasts trickled in to the Expo Hall while the opening speeches were delayed by a couple of hours...

most of the festival attendees remained in the main Expo Hall, visiting the various vendors. Though festival organizers had told Sunshine State News they expected about 10,000 to attend Paul Fest, one unofficial estimate put the number at about 1,500...

Well then, if you think the Ron Paul numbers are low wait till you see the numbers of supporters showing up for day one of the Republican National Convention for Romney in Tampa tonight.

LOL... and I love it!

The MIC/NWO Global Elite control both political parties. His comments will not be well-received. But i sure am glad he's around making these comments. WTG Rand!

Too bad? Has Willard ever drawn a crowd that large?

Fiscal-responsibility does not apply to our armed-forces according to the Republicans.

Sure it does, But the Left seems to think we can only Cut defense and nothing else. Defense is not what we spend the most money on, and Defense is not anywhere near the Long Term Debt Problem that MC and SS represent.

Not to mention that a Huge % of Defense spending is actually on Goods from US companies in the Defense industry that employ millions. Or direct paychecks to our Men and Woman in Uniform. So Cutting it does not come with out Economic Costs.

Who was it the other day that posted that we spend more than the rest of the world Combined on Defense? It may have been true in the past, But today we spend more than the next 21 Nations combined.

we need to balance things, make cuts everywhere, But Ron Paul, and Obama's way, of simply Gutting defense is not the Answer, and is extremely short sited.

IMO

There's countless countries we can pull out of and close up shop in and bring troops home to spend their money here in the country. You want an economic boom? There you go.

While I agree that Democrats aren't quick to cut most areas of spending. Let's be honest here: defense takes up a large percentage of our expenses. Saying it's not just isn't true. And yes you're right it does supply millions with jobs-but so does SS. Not saying we don't need to make cuts across the board-let's just be a little honest about it. The "got you" game played by both sides is nothing short of pathetic.
