Bullcrap indeed. If you think defunding Israel wouldn't result in an muslim onslaught to rid her from the ME you are sorely mistaken. And when that occurred we would be spending billions upon billions in yet another costly war.

Paulbots use the "end foreign aid" demagoguery as a populist way of pushing their isolationist agenda. It's very much like the Democrats current push to "end oil company subsidies" to effectively raise taxes and spend more money on social welfare programs. There are arguments we can have about both those things, but we know the real agenda. They aren't fooling anyone.

And again, this highlights why Paul is running in the wrong party. As a conservative I am all FOR foreign aid to Israel (and others when it is used effectively). I believe as you do (and most conservatives) that Israel is a bastion of Western decency in a part of the world that is otherwise a backward cesspool. Israel is the tip of the spear helping to hold back Islamic radicalism, and as such I can never support cutting off foreign aid.

True enough. And you are right again; RuPaul should be seeking the Libertarian Party nomination because he is a libertarian. He's definitely not a conservative.
