Once again, Ron Paul speaks the truth and the GOP establishment fumes.
The “mainstream” Republican Party is not split on Iraq: it is committed to extending supraconstitutional neo-Wilsonian national building as it bangs the drums of war for its neighbor to the East.
No one looking at the actual historical record can seriously deny that our post-WWII history of interventionism in Iraq and Iran have helped to precipitate the current imbroglio. Intervention begets more intervention, in addition to the necessary political bromides to support such.
Too bad that more Republicans (and Democrats) don’t even pay lip service to our governing document, much less believe in its principles.
Given the naked post-debate posturing to have “top-tier only” debates in the future, I guess the political process can get back to what it does best: widespread intellectual obfuscation and rampant emotional fear-mongering in the pursuit of raw power.
