McCain vs. Paul on Foreign Policy

McCain: "That kind of isolationism is what got World War II started...We allowed Hitler to come to power."
"I just had Thanksgiving dinner with the troops and their message to you is, 'let us win.'"
McCain shines, as always, on spending and the war. He's right, he's quick-witted, and he comes across as dead-sure, dimming arguments against him, even from the ever-energetic Ron Paul.

"Ron Paul's Moronic Comments on Terror"
http://www.frontpagemag.com/blog/Default.aspx
"From Ron Paul's interview on the Bloomberg Report "The greatest threat to the nation, Paul said, is an overextension of the U.S. military and ''involvement in places we shouldn't be.'' Terrorism shouldn't be fought by waging war on nations, he said. Terrorists are ''just hoodlums and convicts, so to speak, but we incite them with our foreign policy,'' he said."
"These comments betray an ignorance of the world we live in worthy of Naomi Wolf, and explain perhaps why he can regard his own country as the main threat in the war on terror. It also shows why the "old Right wing" of the Republican Party he says he inhabits is a growing menace."
Sooo, it does appear that those of us who "heard" paul "blame America" for 9-11 were actually right on target..

McCain shared an honest experience and the honest opinion of many of our troops. Paul gave an overblown meaningless statistic. |

Mary Katherine Ham,
You recently spoke on Fox new about the police tazzing of a man in Utah. Everyone puts themselves in the shoes of the civilian. But imagine being the police officer. He has no idea who the man. All he know is that he is in the middle of the highway with backup probably more than 10 miles away and he has a man who is not listening to his commands. Is he allow to protect himself. At what point is he allowed to protect himself. Does he have to wait until the man pulls a knife, gun or tackles him. That sometimes is too late. A tazzer is not a gun. The police officer wants to go home at the end of the day just like you and everyone else. Ask yourself how comfortable you would be with a angry stranger in the middle of the highway. I bet you would hope a police officer would come. I bet you hope he/she, at the least, has his/her tazzer. The bottom line is that if that man did not break the law he would not have been pulled over and if he would not have resisted the officers commands he would not have been tazzed. I just ask that before you take a side, you put yourself in the shoes of the police officers, too. |

As we all know all geopolitical decisions should be made at dinner, especially when troops eat with Senators, because everything goes as normal. You do remember when John and Joe were buying sunglasses in Baghdad that every thing was as it always is, and due to that dinner we need to have a near permanent presence in Iraq, don't worry about the debt, you never have. Don't worry about the budget, we never have. Never actually carry out taking care of the brave soldiers that put themselves in harm's way, we always talk about it. Look the rapid response we put on Gulf War Syndrome. Don't worry about overstretch, we have the draft, but we will never use it because we will magically get enough troops to go to war with Iran. But if we don't we will just do airstrikes, no Shiites would ever dare try to get through our borders for retaliation, that would just be a lost cause, and besides they are all islamo-hitlers anyway, their disagreements and wars of the past don't exist. Remember the Barbary Wars or meet your doom. |

Someone needs to tell McCain that it was meddling in WWI that helped lay the ground work for WWII, not "isolationism", whatever that is. |

There is a reason Ron Paul gets more money from the troops than any other candidate--and its because he speaks the truth on the war and foreign policy.
I am a career Naval officer who has been politically neutral for my entire life--but voting for Ron Paul is about voting for America and our Constitution, which I took an oath to preserve. I am now supporting Congressman Paul with my wallet--and my heart. |

before Dec. 7, 1941. Our isolantionsim allowed/caused Japan to become a military power and subsequently attack us. McCain would have stopped the whole bloody mess for sure with a few preemptive strikes. |

Instead of starting in the middle of something, why don't you try the beginning? WWI. |

I went to the same school as John. He's not that great. He was at the bottom of his class and got shot down in war time. Of course, he endured torture bravely as a POW. But he's not "sharp". He's still living off of his dad and granddad. Haven't we had enough of that with Bush?
I'm a veteran, was for the war, and for leaving after we got Saddam. Ron Paul is great. |
