We had a real national defense interest in sending troops into that country.<br /><br />There is no valid conservative case for sending troops to Iraq. George W Bush is not a conservative. He misled this nation, and Obama is leading us further down the same path. <br /><br />Rand Paul is the only conservative choice for Kentucky.Jason Gagnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06600553384258780937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363381017073851206.post-80282206554864943212010-04-18T00:39:28.530-04:002010-04-18T00:39:28.530-04:00I will just say that I agree with "Mondo'...I will just say that I agree with "Mondo's" comment.<br />I'd much rather have Rand Paul than a McCain who votes for amnesty and bailouts! It's beyond childish to look at foreign policy as a left or right thing. <br /><br />Remember when it was the Republicans who all opposed Clinton's war in Kosovo? Remember when Sean Hannity said this: <br /><br />"Why should one U.S. airman give up his life when our national security is not in imminent danger?" "...But you know what? There's a lot of massacres going on in the world. As you know, 37,000 Kurds in Turkey, over a million people in Sudan. We have hundreds of thousands in Rwanda and Burundi. I mean, where do we stop?"<br /><br />How about trading in your faulty "conservative' lenses?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363381017073851206.post-82219600344033849502010-04-17T12:20:48.490-04:002010-04-17T12:20:48.490-04:00IF anyone here knows some of the 'kooky' v...IF anyone here knows some of the 'kooky' views of 'kooky' Rand Paul, you're way out in front of the rest of the media--including conservative bloggers.<br /><br />Of course, the Pavlovian response to the name "Ron Paul" and anything related comes as much from some conservative bloggers as it does from the Left. I realize that works both ways as many of his supporters' enthusiasm is over-the-top.<br /><br />His father's foreign policy views are not my cup of tea by any means, but his libertarian domestic policies stands mirror many of our readers' positions.<br /><br />This article mentions the need to look through conservative lenses instead of establishment lenses. Sounds like a trip to the optometrist should be on the author's to-do list.<br /><br /> By and large, the politicians who've endorsed Trey Grayson are Republican establishment types.<br /><br />Several pro-life groups have endorsed Grayson, but one of Paul's strongest positions has been pro-life; Obstetrician Ron Paul's always been staunchly pro-life.<br /><br />Paul's leading in every poll that's been taken recently--by double digits, in some.<br /><br />If you are a single-issue defense voter, this article would have some use. It's may be the author's point of view, but that's not what the article is about.<br /><br />There's are things I do not like about Ron Paul's positions; however, trying to attack his son by labeling him "kooky" does nothing to help conservatives.<br /><br />Attacking one man because you may disagree with some positions of another is positively MSM-like and reminds me of the attacks on the Tea Party.<br /><br />This hit job is something I'd have expected from Little Green Footballs.Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14823296680977269849noreply@blogger.com
