Fred Thompson, Ronald Reagan, and the Goldilocks Republicans
rabojabo, if you truly believe that our problems with islamic fanatics will be over at the end of the year, I submit that you haven’t done your homework. Ron Paul has advocated an isolationist policy. You probably haven’t noticed but Bush has been gradually pushing more or less friendly nations into stepping up to the plate. Did you read what five European NATO generals have said about nuclear first strikes? We need someone in office who will pick up foreign policy where it is and move it in the right direction, not someone promising cloud cuckoo land.
The Anchoress is not asking anyone to give up their convictions. As a regular reader of hers, I know that she welcomes reasonable debate. She likes people who make her think. She is simply not finding a lot of thought by certain circles. I personally think that solid arguments are better than temper tantrums in determining the candidate and influencing his direction. Use the blogosphere constructively to develop those arguments.
