Bolton: If You’re Thinking Of Voting For Ron Paul, ‘Think Again’

"That’s why I think the debate on the Republican side is so important. And why when I see, I have to be candid, a candidate like Ron Paul whose foreign policy is if anything is worse than the Obama administration apparently leading in Iowa according to some polls, it just gives me great concern...So if you’re thinking about Ron Paul because of his domestic issues, think again and look at virtually any of the other candidates and consider how they would be as Commander-in-Chief. That’s the president’s first duty, defending the country."

Mr. Ambassador, if one even wastes the time "THINKING" about voting for this whack job, they've already put themselves in a bad position.

Ideally, Mr. Bolton under the new Republican President would become Secretary of State. Newt Gingrich would become Ambassador to the UN. John Boehner would retire. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be charged with mal-feasance of sworn oath. obama would become a word that cannotes derision and scorn.

Ann Coulter:

"In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently. Taxes can be raised and lowered. Regulations can be removed (though they rarely are). Attorneys general and Cabinet members can be fired. Laws can be repealed. Even Supreme Court justices eventually die. But capitulate on illegal immigration, and the entire country will have the electorate of California. There will be no turning back. Similarly, if Obamacare isn't repealed in the next few years, it never will be."

PushHereToFlush   December 29th, 2011 - 5:26 am

Ann Coulter is wrong. Of course mass immigration, legal or illegal, is risky and our borders must be controlled. All of the Republicans except Ron Paul plan to do that.

Our biggest threat is government. The size, scope, and cost must be reduced at the federal and state level. Even if all of America was assimilated 3rd generation Americans, the ever-expanding welfare and union government worker state would fail just like it has everywhere it has been and is being tried.

i do like that Ron Paul's popularity is brining out the control issues of conservatives. it's been building for years, slowly revealing itself over time, but this path toward personal freedom has really kicked up their anxiety. it's just great! __conservatives for years espoused constitutionally limited gov't and when a candidate finally gets popular who espouses that mantra, they turn and run because …ooh ooh they're afraid….they want to uphold the 2nd amendment…but only for themselves. they want to get gov't out of their lives, but it's ok if gov't butts into everyone else's business. __i'm lovin it! __no on occupies hypocrisy better these days than conservatives!

Obama is funding Ron Paul. He knew we'd have to fight Paul, draining resources and redirecting fire from the defeat of Obama to the defeat of Ron Paul, a threat of the same magnitude.

Evil_Otto   December 29th, 2011 - 5:54 am

Are you even capable of rational thought, much less framing a coherent argument? It's way too early for you to be this drunk.

HDThoreau   December 29th, 2011 - 5:55 am

The President's first duty is defending the Country, as Bolton said. And what do military generals say is the greatest threat to them? The deficit. Surprise! Armies march on their stomach's.

We've had military work freezes how many times this year? No budget. No soldiers. If Paul doesn't want to attack people that aren't attacking us, I can live with that. If I feel like Israel needs help in their defense, then I'll go there and defend them on my own.

jdg614   December 29th, 2011 - 6:26 am

I agree with most of Ron Paul's economic policies. His foriegn policy views, or complete lack thereof, is a different matter.

Constitutionally, the ONLY power the presidency holds absolutely is the authority to conduct foriegn policy. Without a foriegn policy to promote and protect the values and interests of America, Paul would be a "toothless tiger" in all other areas.

Anybody who thinks Russia and China will sit on the sidelines while Iran is attacked is living in a fantasy land. They want WW 3, it's not like they are gonna fight, since most of them dodged Vietnam when it was their time. Why does Ron Paul have more donations from the military than all other candidates combined? Oh, the media doesn't want to talk about that.

Libtard   December 29th, 2011 - 7:06 am

Foreign Policy.

Woodrow Wilson was an Isolationist who campaigned for re-election on "Keeping us out of War".

Of course, that emboldened the Germans who began attacking Neutral US shipping with early 1917, and the Germans even tried to form an Alliance with Mexico to attack the United States.

The Woodrow Paul (uh, I mean Wilson) was forced to go to congress and request a (Constitutional) Declaration of war.

His foreign policy inexperience and isolationist leanings had led the US directly to the first costly (Lives and Dollars) World War.

He persnally lead negotiations for Amistice and setup the (talk to your enemies) Leage of Nations, to prevent future wars.

Of course, the foundational principle of non-involvement by the US that he established lead directly to World War 2.

Libtard   December 29th, 2011 - 7:19 am

It was the Isolationist tendancies of Woodrow Wilson that led to World War 1 (after German Sub attacks on US ships and attempting to form an Alliance with Mexico against the US), and afterward the creation of the League of Nations (to talk to ones enemies to prevent war).
It was the Isolationist tendancies of FDR that led to World War 2 (after the attack on Pear Harbor).
After WW2, it was the isolationist tendancies of FDR that created the United Nations (to prevent another world war).

But it wasn't the UN and talking that limited future wars to relatively small regional conflicts– it was the Nuclear Bomb that kept everyone in line.

They were gobbling up resources, and committing atrocities left and right.

Bolton gets it completely right. Those of us with a more libertarian view may really like Paul's domestic views, but the President is first and foremost Commander-in-Chief. Foreign policy has to come first, and Ron Paul's views on that subject are even worse than Obama's. We would be in an even more dangerous position in the world if Paul became president.
