Ron Paul's Former Aide Announces Intent To Challenge Him In Next ElectionI have spent the early morning scanning the major political blogs, and news sites. It's unanimous. Ron Paul got slammed by Rudy Giuliani last night for suggesting that we - the United States of America - are to blame for the attacks on 9/11. He even had the audacity to cite Osama bin Laden. He's calling on three or four other Republicans to challenge Paul but, in absence of such a challenge, he'll run.
Fox News Rigs Entire Debate To Savagely Attack Ron Paul Ron Paul seems to excite the excitable. Count the exclamation points in that bit -- must have been a fire sale on 'em. More Debate Round-Up: From Hugh Hewitt and Dean Barnett. Hewitt criticizes the Fox panel for not allow the candidates to debate Ron Paul's absurd claims about the motivations of Al Qaeda. I'm of two minds on that. The FoxNews team did a good job of pushing hard questions on the candidates and provoking them to separate from each other on the issues, not merely pledge devotion to the spirit of Ronald Regan. (Chris Matthews and the Politico's guy couldn't do this, as they are so dyed-in-the-wool liberal they have no idea what to ask a conservative, the same way they have no idea of what would be an intelligent question to ask of a monitor lizard.) If the Fox team had permitted that particular debate to go on, the responses from nine of the candidates would have been predictable and similar (and correct, of course, but nine guys merely stating the obvious in different ways doesn't really allow voters to differentiate between them). On the other hand, some times the obvious needs to be said, and small differences to make an, um, difference. Plus it really wasn't entirely fair to let Rudy Giuliani, and only Rudy Giuliani, take a big swing as this high hanging curveball that never curved. Then again, the candidates were more than willing to avoid the questions posed to them and answer questions they wished they'd been asked, or revisit questions posed to someone else that they'd like a crack at. So everyone on stage could have, if they wished, taken the time to ask Ron Paul if he believed the bombing of Iraq was the cause of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, or if the Khobar Towers bombing, etc. On the third Beebroxian hand, allowing that to go on would have elevated the crank crackpot simpleton Ron Paul more, and given him additional time to expound on the philosophies of 40s and 50s legislator Robert Taft, and basically diverted the debate away from those who deserve to be on stage and are qualified to be President to a doctrinaire fool who doesn't and isn't.
Which is strange in and of itself-- after all, Ron Paul insists, along with every other left-wing ninny, that Osama bin Ladin wants us in Iraq. If Al Qaeda wants us in Iraq, why are they always propagandizing for us to depart? Shouldn't they be trying to keep us there, since they want us there and all? And also, if our foreign policy is, as Ron Paul asserts, exactly what al Qaeda wants, what sense does it make to, as he suggests, craft a foreign policy more amenable to Al Qaeda, less likely to anger them? His fundamental starting premise is that we already have just about the optimum foreign policy from Al Qaeda's perspective; what additional measures is he thinking of when he calls for us to try to please Al Qaeda more in our foreign policy decisionmaking? | Recent Comments
