Super Tuesday

scaeagles · 02-08-2008, 07:39 AM

I have looked at the man and listened to what he's had to say.....the problem is that I can't imagine voting for someone who truly believes that 9/11 was our fault. It's not a conspiracy theory thing with him, but he seems to believe that terrorist attacks are justified by our Middle East policies, specifically the 10 years prior to 9/11.

Sorry. Can't do it. I find that view reprehensible. It isn't my goal now to debate policies in the Middle East....just expressing this disagreement with him which I could never get past. This view would have to be indicative of what his foreign policy would entail should he be elected.

It's not "Super Tuesday" but the Bitter East Coast primaries are this coming Tuesday. So far Obama is winning the commercial war over Clinton 9-to-0. I hope the voting goes that way also.

I don't have the list on hand, but Hillary made a statement last week that made it clear that there were only handful of states she was interested in actively campaigning in for the remainder of the primaries.

I completely agree. I don't like his views on International aid either. While we have gone into debt this way I see not reaching out a hand after disasters as completely irresponsible. Based on his views on Darfur it appears Ron Paul would have ignored the holocaust and done nothing.

Not at the expense of irresponsible foreign policy. if you think the world hates us now they would hate us even more if we turned our backs on them and refused to be a partner on a global scale. Imagine the International fury if after the tsunami we refused to lend aid with money or troops. That's what would have happened in a Ron Paul administration.

Ron Paul would make an absolutely fantastic governor. I'd vote for him and I'd even campaign for him. However, he'd be a terrible president.

What do you base that on?

I base that on his answers at the "Values voters" debate in late September of last year. I was shocked at the wide range of questions that were asked during that event compared to any other debate of the season. Anytime Ron Paul was asked about any foreign aid or intervention he always was on the side of non-intervention under any circumstances.

So then a Democrat's actions (or lack thereof) as President would be a significant contributor. 8 out of 10 years prior to 9/11/2001 (and probably the most significant chunk of time in regards to the 9/11 terrorist attacks), a Democrat was in the White House.
