RP made the argument that it was OK for Iran to have nukes because they need them since Israel has them.
Rather than sticking to his (equally idiotic) concept of non-intervention, he chose to morally equate Israel ( a country that has established peace agreements with Arab countries Egypt and Jordan and exhibited a determination to establish peace in the region) with Iran (a country that has THREATENED not only Israel but also Arab countries Saudi Arabia and Iraq as well as sponsor INTERNATIONAL — not intra-regional — terrorism)
At the last debate he also argued against intl aid because of the example of our support of Egypt that is now likely to bite us in the butt. Again he equates a dictatorship with a Democracy.
This leads to the conclusion that RP is either stupid and naive or he can’t help but be anti-Israel.
Some might say he is consistent, but stubborn consistency in favor of common sense is IMHO no different than school districts that say “that’s our (zero-tolerance) policy”

It’s common sense that giving away foreign aid borrowed from China isn’t foreign aid at all, it’s putting our country’s future into servitude for others’ welfare. If you believe that being against borrowing money to give it away to Israel is anti-Semitic, I guess you must think that if Paul doesn’t advocate foreign aid to Saudi Arabia he’s anti-Arab, or to Indonesia he’s anti-Muslim. Smear merchants like you are just sickening examples of the inability of the typical neocon to debate cogent arguments against his policy. You can’t even begin to say something like “Israel has to be an exception because...” Instead, you go right to “oh, he must be anti-Semitic.” As if you make your case to those on the fence by simply slurring Paul. It’s complete crap like your comments that CREATE prejudice, just as hearing Jesse Jackson trot out the race card every time someone attacks racial set-asides creates racial animosity.
