Since it is on foreign policy, look for Ron Paul to drop a few US-bashing bombs.
Update: Paul doesn’t disappoint starts out talking about “needless wars.”
Well right off the bat… We all know that any of the candidates would do better than the Apologizer in Chief.
Newt to Ron Paul- Sorry Timothy McVeigh succeeded. Great applause.
Ron Paul compares terrorism to wife beating. Nuts.
Michele Bachmann: Obama has outsourced our interrogation to the ACLU.
Rick Perry: This is what I’d do with TSA. I’d privatize it as soon as I could and get rid of the unions.
Santorum: “We should be trying to find the bomber, not the bomb.”
Ron Paul: We’re not at war. This is a careless use of words. #Nuts
Jon Huntsman startled that he got applause – thanks the audience.
Mitt: We need to bring Pakistan into the 21st century. (How about the stone age?)
Ron Paul says he wouldn’t help Israel in an attack on Iran. Why does Israel need our help? Why should we send our money needlessly to Israel.
