I have to hand it to Jack; he makes a darned good argument here:
Transcript link be posted, as soon as it appears — somewhere! Update: Here it is, the Transcript.
I also want to point out, that there are those who will say, what about you? Don’t you call Ron Paul an isolationist??!?! My answer is this:
My issue with Ron Paul is that he has swallowed some of the idiotic lies of the liberal left on 9/11. Like that Bush did it; it was inside job; all designed to put us into a war with Iraq. None of which is true, but with the liberal left and with Ron Paul, the truth really does not matter, what matters is the narrative. Further more, I happen to agree with the Republicans that oppose his going into Libya. I will say that I find it pretty ironic that some of those who are carping about Libya, are the same one who were cheer-leading us into Iraq in 2003.
My issue also with Ron Paul is some of the people he is known to hang around and things that have been published with his name on it. That is my issue with Ron Paul, period, end of story. I simply do not believe Ron Paul to be a perfect choice President. What also troubles me, is that Ron Paul’s followers, treat Ron Paul, like the left treated the then candidate Barack Obama; like the next political Messiah.
I live by this rule and I believe everyone else in America should too: No man, irregardless of Race, Color, Creed, Religious or Political Conviction or Party is perfect. There are flaws in everyone’s political views, including Ron Paul’s.
Contrary to what is believed about me; I do not advocate Bush style of foreign policy. I see nothing wrong with fiscal and foreign policy Conservative restraint. However, I believe the motivations for that, should be purely inline with the idea of keeping the Republic from becoming an empire, and for keeping inline with our Constitution; not for some sort of backward mentality towards Jews and Israel.
That above, in a nutshell, explains my disliking of Ron Paul.
