My take on Ron Paul and the rest of the GOP

"A commenter asked what my take on Ron Paul was.

Here's a little story about Ron Paul. It was back in my financial reporter days. At the time I was a cub reporter for a national consumer magazine, now defunct, called Mutual Funds. I was working on some story or other - I can't remember what it was now - and I was looking for some quotes to add color and perspective, particularly from a conservative commentator, since I already had a more liberal perspective from a couple of different sources."

I was going to make fun and call you a closet communist for one line in this, but I found something better to comment on

"I believe he's being honest about it."

I thought this too, till I listened carefully to him on the radio.
And no, he lies. He said he would end the war, bring back the troops and spend the money here, as opposed to the other candidates that he said would continue the war. But listened carefully to what he really said, "bring back troops, and replace with international force"

So who is going to pay for this international force, and who will man this force, who will provide logistics support for this force? Questions which were left unanswered for the obvious reasons. Only the US could fill those requirement. And would we really want to outsource our war to some unknown "force"? Will they perform like the Marines? I somehow doubt it.

Talk about a quagmire...

I would vote for McCain, I would vote for him over Obama.

I think Ann Coulter was right when she said that the US was not ready to elect a liberal black man to the presidency. I think she hit the nail on the head. We are still way to racist a country to go down that road. Obama will lose the general.
