Whoa... Step back from the coffee mug...

It is McCain and other RINOS that are for interventionism.

April 30, 2014 poll from Wall Street Journal/NBC News finds that only 19% of Americans want Washginton DC to be “more involved” in oversaes interventionsim.

According to the Wall Street Journal the finding are indicative of “an anti-interventionist current that sweeps across party lines” in the U.S.

Sweeps across party lines.

Do you want more polls that show the same thing? I imagine not.

Then you follow up your strawman that I dealt with with just more baseless Ad Homs that are hollow and false.

“Then you follow up your strawman that I dealt with with just more baseless Ad Homs that are hollow and false.”

There is nothing baseless about my criticism. You made statements contrary to the evidence. For example, the following 2009 poll makes it abundantly clear there is nothing overwhelming about American non-interventionist sentiment. In fact, in many polls such non-interventionist sentiment was the minority opinion and ha been for ears earlier. See:

The title of the Pew Research Center poll, which asked 2,000 U.S. citizens about United States’ role in the world, says it all: “Isolationist Sentiment Surges to Four-Decade High.”

The survey found that almost half of Americans (49 percent) think the United States should stay out of foreign affairs and let other countries get along the best they can on their own. That number is the highest in 40 years and represents an increase from 30 percent who felt that way just seven years ago.

Public Sees U.S. Power Declining as Support for Global Engagement Slips

America’s Place in the World 2013

The Founding Fathers, notwithstanding the comments of George Washington taken out of context, found it necessary to participate in collective security arrangements with America’s international allies. The need is now more urgent than it was two centuries ago. Using your polls to claim an overwhelming opinion in favor of you proposition has the same appearance and stench as the Obama and Communist tactics. It really matters not what you say your political affiliation is supposed to be. A falsehood by friend or by an enemy is still a falsehood.
