So you think we should leave Afghanistan and hope for the best. You think we should leave Iraq, and hope for the best. Leave SE Asia And watch curiously as China takes over. Disengage our burgeoning military relationship with India. Leave Australia to the wind. There are too many more to note in one response. You want to abandon all US allies. The consequences of one’s actions are what logical people tend to think about.
Even the Austin, TX NAACP leader said Paul wasn't a racist.
These letters are old news and have been addressed already.
They're in the news simply because Paul is a presidential candidate and both the establishment left and right can't knock him on anything else and are desperate.
Anything else LOL.
The threads are being posted by Paul critics.
Maybe Paul's numbers are looking good in MI? Who knows?
Do they have their meetings on Monday and then send people forth to spread the word?
Basement space is limited. We can only hold so many moonbats in one of our parent's home.
Not that you care, but here is a link to audio of the NAACP president defending Paul.

Seems that if he were a racist someone would be able to dig up some quotes from those decades he spent in congress. You know how them racists like to run their mouths and get publicity for their cause. All I was able to find were lots of statements about how he admired MLK.
Paul voted to go into Afghanistan and for the record I don't agree with all of Paul's foreign policy.
You think we should leave Iraq, and hope for the best.
I think we should leave within 3-5 years. I don't agree with Paul that we should leave immediately.
Leave SE Asia And watch curiously as China takes over.
China doesn't have the military logistics to overtake Taiwan or Japan.
Disengage our burgeoning military relationship with India. Leave Australia to the wind. There are too many more to note in one response. You want to abandon all US allies. The consequences of one’s actions are what logical people tend to think about.
No, I want to start taking care of America first rather than foreigners for a change. I'm tired of seeing my tax dollars go to tin-pot dictators. I'm sure India and Australia will be our partners and allies - economically. They can provide for their own military.
“Basement space is limited. We can only hold so many moonbats in one of our parent’s home.”
Quick, everyone to the batcave! LOL!
Yeah. Sorry. It just brings it out in me. The Code Pinkos I know are all hot and bothered to get Ron Paul into office. Good ideological company he keeps.
He really didn't have a choice to engage in Constitutional semantics shortly after 9/11, when conventional wisdom said to go after the terrorists. With Iraq though, there was plenty of time to thoroughly debate the issue and declare war the right way the 2nd time around. So I don't see a flip-flop.
There is no one on the Left supporting Paul's campaign. This is perhaps the biggest lie promoted since Bush's "phony" Guard service.
Actually, we were attacked by by the people running a foreign country. Attacking Afganistan was not preemptive. It was in response to an attack.
Attacking Iraq was preemptive. The Bush Doctrine changed decades of policy.
I don’t really care if we have to strike first or not. It’s best not to have threats that need responding to, but that is not reality.
Lets just hope that China & Russia never threaten us.
Paul has some very strange views that would make anyone question his reasoning.........
MR. RUSSERT: How many troops do we have overseas right now?
REP. PAUL: I don’t know the exact number, but more than we need. We don’t need any.
MR. RUSSERT: It’s 572,000. And you’d bring them all home?
REP. PAUL: As quickly as possible. We–they will not serve our interests to be overseas. They get us into trouble. And we can defend this country without troops in Germany, troops in Japan. How do they help our national defense? Doesn’t make any sense to me. Troops in Korea since I’ve been in high school?
MR. RUSSERT: So if Iran invaded Israel, what do we do?
REP. PAUL: Well, they’re not going to. That is like saying “Iran is about to invade Mars.” I mean, they have nothing. They don’t have an army or navy or air force. And Israelis have 300 nuclear weapons. Nobody would touch them. But, no, if, if it were in our national security interests and Congress says, “You know, this is very, very important, we have to declare war.” But presidents don’t have the authority to go to war

“CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . I’m tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?
HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don’t have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there’s not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn’t going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.
JACK BLOOD, GUEST HOST: I think it’s fair to say that of all the candidates out there, the one most interested in reopening the investigation and clearing the questions is Dr. Paul; and you should be commended for that.
Every once in a while I’ll wander onto these threads, sorry each and every time I do.
Predictably there are those posts that really have sane people wondering out loud...
and then there’s the stuff that sends chills up the spine like this one for instance!
“China doesn’t have the military logistics to overtake Taiwan or Japan.”
What planet did THAT one come from?
Fascinating!
Just playing along with the delusion, how long would that be the case if the U.S. irresponsibly took their ball and went home do ya think?
