The problem with Ron Paul is he thinks the world is a warm and fuzzy place. It ain’t so. At least not in this world.
In Ron Paul’s world there are no Saddam’s, no Assads, No Stalins, no Pol Pots, no Ide Amin’s.
No blood thirsty tyrants who would enjoy sending troops up the Potomac to capture D.C and put the government to the torch.
What, you say that can’t happen? You are correct but only because the US Navy wouldn’t let them. Then the US Air Force would bomb the sh1t out of the SOB.
Paul seems oblivious to the fact that ALL politics are based on POWER.
His only chance is to come right out and say he is an isolationist and explain why he feels that policy is in America’s interest. Hints and evasion just make him look like a weasel and a nutty weasel at that.
His domestic policies are great but without a power based approach to the rest of the planet, they don’t matter. Some Mullah who isn’t afraid of power and blood will be running America and it will be that Mullah’s policies that matter.
