MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Campaigning in New Hampshire today, Republican Ron Paul says he would lift sanctions on Iran and order the U.S. Navy to pull back from its shores.

Paul says if the U.S. relieved pressure on Iran, people would breathe a sign of relief, interest rates probably would not go up and oil prices probably would drop.

Speaking in Manchester, Paul said the Bush administration has been looking for war with Iran.

>>Republican Ron Paul says he would lift sanctions on Iran

Sanctions against Iran, Cuba or any nation only hurts U.S. business interests. The rest of the world still trades with them with the resulting benefits.

Yeah, we should keep our noses out of the business of other regions of the world -

right up to the point where we have nukes lighting off in our country or our economy collapses because of some critical world supply is cut off by some petty tyrant halfway across the world.

Unbelievably childishly naive.

The guy becomes more disconnected with the real world with each passing day.

I’m guessing the Paulestinians will soon try to tell us how this is the “real” conservative stance to take.

Last time I checked, surrendering isn’t a conservative position.

Ol’ Trace doesn’t think much of Thomas Jefferson’s handling of the Barbary pirates, I presume.

She is flatly against weekends, which are nowhere in the Constitution.

(chuckle)

To be fair, I don’t post on weekends or evenings either.

What a WACK JOB!

Yeah.

I made a slight mistake a few days ago when I stated flatly that I'd be voting for whomever the Republican party nominates for President.

Ron Paul is the poster child for why I should never ever make such a hasty statement. If the Republican Party were to go all crazy and nominate Paul, or any looney critter like Paul, I ain't voting for him. I might have to stay home and self-medicate.

Hey, Monday isn’t in the Constitution either, so I don’t believe it exists.

Another reason Ron Paul is the favorite candidate of the Israel-haters.

Ron Paul is as much of a Conservative as Fred Phelps is a Christian.

Ya know, I’m coming around to his point of view. After all, if the U.S. military was completely disbanded there’d be no war anywhere, right? Because there certainly wasn’t any war in the Middle East before there was a U.S. military. In fact, there wasn’t any war anywhere before the U.S. started going against the Constitution and sending evil imperial robots out to conquer the universe. Have I slipped over into the comic books again or am I in RonPaulLand?

Did you forget the sarcasm tag, or did that year and a half coma affect your thought process?
