I think Ron Paul is burying himself with Iran.

 

[ladyliberal]

Paul is getting a little close to *too honest*. He practically told Iran that it was in their interests to pursue a nuclear weapon in order to influence the US.

Ron Paul is chanelling Neville Chamberlain.

Can you imagine him in the 30s?

"We don't have any evidence that Hitler is breaking the Versailles Treaty!"

Idiot!

The Versailles Treaty was one of the biggest blunders the international community ever did.

I agree.

That's always been his biggest weakness. He doesn't know how to grandstand and demagogue.

 

[Oscar Wao]

Ron Paul's point about the Soviet Union was DEAD ON.

They were considered the greatest threat to America...

Idiot!

Thank you, Mike Godwin.

 

[dblack]

Ahh.. yes. They hate us because we're free!

 

[ladyliberal]

Santorum: They [Iran] are a radical theocracy (and not the good kind).

Parenthetical coda added, of course. Also, his assertion that Iran's putative dislike of the US has nothing to do with US policy is absurd.

I have his word on it.

You have any evidence that he's lying?...You have any better way of getting the taxes paid by your constituents back into the district other than how he goes about it?

When you get elected to office and can find a better way, you let us all know.

Oh, you have HIS WORD on it!

You mean like the word he gave on his racist newsletters where he claimed he didn't even write them???????????

He didn't write them and you have no evidence that he's lying in either case.

Now, you go get elected to office and tell us how better to get your constituents their taxes back, defelectapottamus.

Some of them are SIGNED BY HIM!!!!!!!!!

I saw them!

The man is a dead liar!

Not only that but he LEFT the Republican Party in the latter part of the 80s because he said he couldn't stand what Reagan was doing. He went libertarian.

Why did he come back? BECAUSE HE COULDN'T WIN ELECTIONS AS A LIBERTARIAN.

Now he wants to pretend he's a Reaganite, when he left the Republican party because Reagan wouldn't adhere to Ron paul's insane ideas about isolationism.

Now THAT is the truth!

Yes, he did. Also, his eyebrow is falling off again, I think.

Santorum just claimed that IED are "manufactured" in Iran.

 

[Jackson]

Mitt is looking stronger tonite on foreign policy.

 

[Oddball]

I think Ron Paul is burying himself with Iran.

I agree.

Nonsense....The USSR had America outnumbered at least 4:1 with nukes.

If Iran's neighbors, Israel included, want to go in and bomb them over this, let 'em.

i thought we had a spending problem

Only if you don't understand the idealogy ruling Iran.

 

[ladyliberal]

Romney is slamming Obama for notional weakness on national defense. I have to remind myself that Democrats inaugurated this attack in televised debates when Kennedy went after Nixon on Quemoy and Matsu.

That's the entire hubris of the neocon mentality. ANY suggestion that we change stupid policy is met with an insistance that 'they hate us because of who we are!' - instead of acknowledging that the rest of the world just get sick of us pushing them around.

You're deflecting from the original point, to the point that you're not even addressing it.....I accept your capitulation.

You might not be the person to make that comment.
