Yep, Democrats. Except for Paul, Hunter and Tancredo, there wasn’t anyone in last night’s debate who couldn’t have changed their rhetoric and tone of voice a bit and been palmed off as a Democrat. Or maybe, to be fair to the genuine left, as Demopub… or Republicrat…

“McCain said Paul is promoting isolationism in calling for the United States to disengage from the war. “We allowed (Adolf) Hitler to come to power with that attitude of isolation,” he said.

Paul objected, saying McCain had confused his support for nonintervention with isolationism.

“I want to trade with people, talk with people, travel,” Paul replied. “But I don’t want to send troops overseas using force to tell them how to live.” Later he made clear he would not run as an independent, despite requests from many of his supporters….”

Dear Senator McCain, your uncompromising stance on torture is admirable. So was your Vietnam war service. But while you seem to be quite clear about what the Constitution says about asphyxiating our fellow man in excruciating stages, you seem less clear about carpet bombing him. I fail to follow the logic. Pouring too much H2O down the wrong orifice of suspected terrorists upsets you deeply (and it should — they are still held in our prisons and there are other ways to get them to talk) but leveling cities filled with innocent civilians, from babies to grandmothers and cripples, because some bearded guy somewhere else went on a criminal rampage — now that’s just fine and dandy.

I am being facetious but that’s what the logic of this foreign policy amounts to.

Paul’s answer was perfect. Because we don’t want to bomb people into “freedom” (our version) doesn’t mean we want to be “isolationist.”

Here’s another of those slogans “Mobs” talks about.

Is everything always this black and white, this simplistic?

Is the alternative to bombing people raising the draw- bridge, holing up inside, and contemplating our navels? Isn’t there such a thing as peaceful, unmanaged trade? Isn’t the other name for that the free market? And isn’t that what conservatism is supposed to defend?

Not the military-industrial-financial much-too complex?

Update:

Now we find that the debate was infiltrated by a covey of Democrat supporters posing as random questioners, including the gay military officer who was almost disruptive…

More evidence of the arrogance and corruption of the MSM and their pals on You Tube.

Now figure out where else those pals are – on google, on amazon, and everywhere else where opinions are voiced.
