#1 This from the man who thought we ought not have partaken in the second world war.

Well of course not - that would have allowed Nazi Germany to win and exterminate all the Jews and gypsies and a lot of us bothersome Catholics, just like WRong Paul and his ~~collection of bigots, sycophants and crypto-fascists~~ supporters secretly want.

#2 The more this guy opens his mouth, the stupider he gets - he'is becoming to foreign policy stupidity what a black hole is to gravity: the most concentrated point of foreign policy stupidity in the known universe.

#3 I agree with Newt: "...Ron Pauls not a very serious potential to be president because the American people arent going to elect as a commander-in-chief somebody who does not believe that Iranian nuclear weapons are a direct threat to us, Gingrich told CNBCs Larry Kudlow in an interview to be aired 7 p.m. Eastern on Thursday.
Paul may have some interesting ideas about the Federal Reserve & the economy, but his views about vital interests of the United States (and even its history) disqualify him as a presidential candidate.

#4 Iran sanctions, 'acts of war': Ron Paul

For argument's sake, suppose they are.

Some folks just need killin'.

#5 Spengler's summary of Ron Paul: He has in common with the Iranians a desire to make the world go away, and a fixed idea that an evil conspiracy brought about all the problems. Ron Paul isnt an Iranian, to be sure; hes just the closest an American can come to thinking like an Iranian without actually moving there.

#10 I will vote for any of these people that will protect the constitution. England produced the Magna Carta and they gave up so much(lied to) to join the EU. Now we have people doing the same to our constitution. I am not a Ron Paul believer. I would prefer Santorum/Palin or even Santorum/Bachmann. Ron Paul is a medical doctor. He has a long career of service. He will have his chance.

#11 > Paul may have some interesting ideas about the Federal Reserve & the economy,

Oh no he doesn't. He's just as idiotically naive there as he is in foreign policy.

#12 BP I respectfully disagree. "He's just as idiotically naive there as he is in foreign policy". I don't know if you are aware of the intelligence required to become a Medical Doctor in this country. These people happen to be smarter that the average person(I didn't make that up). I liked Senator Frist M.D. and had high hopes for him. People can disappoint but don't cast them of so casually. Whoever is elected will face some of the most difficult issues that I can ever recall. Copious amounts of gray matter needed and common sense.

#13 Dale, I see the 70-something husk of a once-intelligent person every day. Neglecting to mention, of course, the highly intelligent people who committed lobotomies on Soviet citizens who committed the crime of being dissidents, or of course Dr. Mengele and his famous studies.

#14 "the American people aren't going to elect as a commander-in-chief somebody who does not believe that Iranian nuclear weapons are a direct threat to us"

Sorry, Newt - they already did. :-(
