RON PAUL on C-Span now, talking about the war!! He mentioned PNAC!
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 02:27 PM by Loyal
Ron Paul is critiquing Bush's foreign policy gaffes and talking about how he opposed the war because he is a non-interventionist. He mentioned PNAC too, and how they are so wrong about the Middle east.

1. He said that having the troops come home
does NOT mean that you hate the troops. He makes such good points.

3. He's making good points
about how the neocons are wrong.

4. He made another good point
He compared us occupying the middle east to, say, China coming over here to protect their oil in Mexico, and setting up bases in Florida and Texas, and the Chinese trying to teach us to adopt their values.

Non-internventionism is a good idea, like he said.

5. Ron Paul votes against pay increases
And never uses his entire office budget. He returns the remainder to the Treasury.

7. He is kicking ass
Edited on Fri Oct-17-03 02:47 PM by Atman
Which means no one in the Wal Mart Nation will hear a word about it on the evening newsminute.

"I want to see more people in this country talk about liberty, not democracy."

9. If he was representative of Republicans...
I might have to consider switching parties.

11. Yeah, I know
He was the Libertarian party's presidential candidate two times, I think. Some of the Libertarian party stuff is kind of wacky, like privatizing the interstate highway system, but Ron Paul usually makes sense. He sounds more like on Democrat than a Republican.

12. You'll change your mind about that
when you hear him talk about how the prescription drug benefit is bad or the threat of socialized health care. ;-)

13. oh yeah, I knew there was something I didn't like about him
:)

Sounds reasonable on foreign policy, or at least in his speech today.

14. Strange Bedfellows Syndrome
It's been going around lately.

Happens a lot with Pat Buchanan, too.
