I just love John Bolton and hope the next POTUS will put him in a very important position. He’d be great as Sec. of State, or Amb. to the UN again. I’m sure he wouldn’t put up with the UN crap. He’s one smart guy! If he had run for president, he would have had my support.
- Anonymous
We need to keep him out of the UN (I don’t think he would go back anyway). SoS would be great and he could work on getting the UN out of the US (along with having a great handle on ALL foreign affairs.
This is the most personal I’ve heard him speak. Usually, he’s more reserved in his personal criticism. Just shows how important he feels it is to keep Paul from the presidency.
- Anonymous
Yes, I agree, SoS would be fantastic! I don’t care what position, but he needs to have an important position in the new administration. He truly loves this country and completely understands the threats and the weakness of this admin. I think he might be worried if Paul gets elected, we are doomed, in more ways than one.

Wow!! Mark Steyn and John Bolton in the same interview. I think their combined IQ is greater than that of the entire Democrat Party.
Bolton is right. We need to have a lot more debate on foreign policy. So far it’s been like watching a bunch of trained seals barking on queue. What will they do about Iran? What about Egypt? Syria? China? He bats Ron Paul away as just another resident of Fantasy Land.

Are you joking dude? Ron Paul has been gaining public attention in a positive way by an insane amount despite the media blowing him off, because he speaks the truth. EDUCATE yourself. If you think Ron Paul is a nut job you obviously must hate people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and most of the founding fathers because Ron Paul may as well have been in the room when they signed the declaration of independence and when they wrote the constitution, because he would run they government the right way, the way the people who founded this country 200 years ago said it should be run. AND if you disagree with THAT, then YOU are not an AMERICAN I’d like to associate with, and you may not be an American at all.

Hotair has a little more about the story. The Bachmann camp says he was offered money but he is denying that. It is more for political gain – for his own future.

“An Iowa Christian conservative leader who bestowed his highly sought-after endorsement on presidential candidate Rick Santorum this week is now at the center of a controversy over whether he asked for cash in exchange for his public support.
Less than 48-hours after receiving the backing of Bob Vander Plaats, the head of the prominent evangelical group The Family Leader, Santorum disclosed that the prominent Iowan told him he needed money to make the most out of the endorsement.

- http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1396855720 Brian Jones
We don’t sacrifice any liberties OR freedoms with our ALL-VOLUNTEER military system that we have now… Only in a Paulbot’s noggin could closing military bases = stronger military! Think about it like this:
Strong Military = Num. of Bases + Num. of Trained GIs
(Num. of Bases – 560) + (Num. of Trained GIs – 250000) Strong MilitarySo…by subtracting 560 bases, we’ll have to lose AT LEAST 250,000 trained soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines, since they’ll have no where else to go. We can’t just decide to crank out more TRAINED GIs after that point, since they’re all GONE. Now…how does THAT make our national defense stronger?

You bet he has. He said he will do nothing to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and Iran has a right to “defend” itself (by driving Israel into the sea). He also said those of us who think radical Islam is a threat to the West hates Muslims so therefore, he is a Muslim-lover. He thinks Muslims have a right to the Jewish state – Muslim lover.
Sorry grizzlybear71, his actions AND words speak so loudly I can’t hear his retractions of Nazi groups supporting him… oh, he never did that either.

Every country should have the right to defend themselves, and R.P. is correct when he says we have to stop getting so involved.
However, we do need to get involved when it threatens us in any way. We as a country can’t be so scared of terrorism that we prepare so reassuringly that our freedoms and rights are taken away. you have to look at the world as one big poker game like Reagan did. You have to play offense and defense. You can’t be so defensive that every little threat frightens the American public.
We need to be involved, just not nearly as much as we are.

Saudi Arabia has made it clear that in no uncertain terms – they are seeking the development of a nuclear weapon as a balance against Israel – AND
the regime in Saudi Arabia funds the Wahabi schools with funding generated by sales of oil to the US – AND
Why are we not going to bomb them next?It seems like there is an inconsistency in your foreign policy sir – and we need it explained before you attack Ron Paul. You need a moral high ground for something like this to stick – and I’m willing to give it to you if you can present the case.

“they are seeking the development of a nuclear weapon as a balance against Israel “- aPaulogist
Since I doubt Mr. Bolton reads this site (he might, Scoop. I don’t know), I will respond, even though I don’t profess to answer for him.
It seems they want nuclear weapons to counter Iran, according to this article:
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/262477/20111206/saudi-arabia-mulls-nuclear-weapons-iran-threat.htm
If Iran had no desire or possibility of getting them, it seems clear Saudi Arabia would have no desire either. Plus, they haven’t stated they want to wipe Israel off the face of the map, as Iran has.
Why would we want to attack Saudi Arabia?
The 19 attackers were not at the behest of Saudi government.
How do you know exactly where the money from the sale of oil to the US goes? Are we the only ones they sell to?
There seems to be some inconsistencies in your question. Perhaps you should correct that before bothering Mr. Bolton, who is a busy and important person.

It’s a lot bigger than that. Europe is looking at falling to Islam because they are quickly becoming populated with Muslims that are demanding changes in their laws. This isn’t about protecting your house from the boogie man. When Islam gets a foothold in societies they go to work on pressuring the governments to give way to Sharia Law. They increase the pressure as they grow in number.
Trust me, you can have all the guns you want in your house and it’s not going to stop our government from caving in to Islamic pressure….and they won’t save your life.

Mr. Bolton, libertarians don’t expect other nations to just leave them alone – their own US government doesn’t even leave them alone.
Yes, we should deliver justice to those who infringe on life, liberty or property – foreign or domestic.
The question is do you or I have the right to “enforce our will on other nations” (or fellow Americans for that matter)?

Bolton is correct. Paul has no interest in protecting our country. He has this pie in the sky idea that if you will just stay home and not walk home when you get off the bus the bullies will leave you alone. I wish things could be the way Paul thinks they should be. On paper it sounds nice but here on earth it can’t work.

I agree. If only the world worked that way. Dr. Paul and his followers remind me of a verse in the Bible. Proverbs 14:12: There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. Christians, of all people, should know better than to swallow this pollyannaish view of the world in which we live.

Not sure if you read the story of PollyAnn or not. One little girl’s attitude set the example for the entire town and turned their bitter hearts around. It’s ok to be PollyAnn – she’s the hero in the story and in the end – she wins and is proven right.
Christians such as you and me would do well to seek the humbleness and meekness of PollyAnn and take a look in our hearts and question the constant drum beat of war which has costs so many thousands of American lives. - Anonymous
You make my point all over again. Pollyanna is a fictional story – a fairytale. There is a place for humbleness and meekness – but not in the face of evil. Does a man stand by humbly and meekly if someone attacks his family? It is a fantasy to believe ‘leave them alone and they’ll leave us alone’. Evil does not need a reason to kill, steal and destroy.

You are what you project onto others. I’m not in a position to know – and we have been lied to so many times by the government – I don’t trust them.
We need an honest principled man in THE office – someone I can trust – that will honestly assess the intelligence reports – make determinations based upon his oath of office and present them to the Congress to debate before just heading off to war.
It’s not a joke that we need to legalize the Constitution again.

Why is everyone surprised the RP has done well in Iowa?? Iowa has always been a libertarian state and even a pro-isolationist state at times. Lindbergh had travelled to Des Moines to give a speech pre-WWI about being an isolationist country and not getting involved in WWI. RP always polls well in Iowa however once the other states come into play he quickly fades.

… and starting new wars and maintaining permanent presence in the Middle East WILL result in them “leaving us alone”??? That’s Bolton’s answer? What absurdity. Keeping the status quo foreign policy is exactly why we’re more vulnerable than ever.

Bolton is a textbook neocon.

Henninger: The Ron Paul Vote
It has little to do with the Texas congressman.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204720204577126711408360798.html?mod=rss_opinion_mainAn example of the merit of this analysis is:
Kelly Clarkson: “I Love Ron Paul”
I like Ron Paul because he believes in less government and letting the people (all of us) make the decisions and mold our country. That is all. Out of all the Republican nominees, he’s my favorite.”
Ms. Clarkson is clearly not thinking of Paul’s views on foreign policy in her statement, but it does reflect a view that many people have.
Ten years after 9/11, between the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the insurgency in Pakistan and Yemen, the war in Libya, the uprising in Syria, the ongoing struggle between Israel and its neighbors, along with continuing threats of terror attacks in America, it is understandable that many people have concluded a “plague on all their houses.”
No one wants war. Everyone wants peace.
After 9/11, Congress passed the Authorization of Use of Military Force. Representative Ron Paul voted for this resolution:
Authorization for Use of Military Force – 2001
http://news.findlaw.com/wp/docs/terrorism/sjres23.es.htmlRon Paul’s foreign policy views are neo-isolationist.
If Ron Paul were elected President, he takes an oath:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
As President, he is duty bound to honor that Authorization and as Commander in Chief to protect and defend the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic.
Do we forgive Iran and Hezbollah for aiding al Qaeda in carrying out the 9/11 attacks?
Do we forgive the Taliban for aiding al Qaeda in carrying out the 9/11 attacks?
Let’s assume the United States were to withdraw from NATO and SEATO, withdraw all sanctions against Iran, bring home all of our forces from Afghanistan, the Middle East, Europe, Japan, Australia and South Korea, and end all foreign aid.
Would the Taliban stop fighting with the Afghanistan military? Would the Taliban and their allies stop killing innocent civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
Would radical Muslims stop launching attacks against India?
Would the Iranians stop killing adulterers and gays? Would the Iranians stop interfering in the affairs of their neighbors. Would the Iranians end all funding of Hezbollah and Hamas? Would the Iranians end their quest for a nuclear weapon and the means to deliver it to the United States? Would the Iranians end their plans to use groups like Al Qaeda and Hezbollah to launch attacks against the United States, including using radioactive dirty bombs?
Would Hezbollah and Hamas stop blowing people up? Would Hamas and Hezbollah stop threatening to destroy Israel? Would Hezbollah stop working with Iran to launch terror attacks against the United States?
Would the persecution of Christians in Egypt come to an end? Would leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood stop calling for the destruction of the United States and Israel?
Would Al Qaeda stop blowing people up? Would Al Qaeda stop working with Iran to launch attacks against the United States?
Would the Saudis stop spreading Wahabbism, especially in the United States? Would the Saudis stop pushing the United States to put in place laws making it a crime to defame Islam?
Would radical Muslims stop planning and committing terror attacks in the United States?
Would OPEC allow the price of oil to fall dramatically?
Would China end its trade war against the United States? Would China stop using cyber attacks to steal our secrets? Would China stop imprisoning dissidents?
Of course not.
While we can disagree on how best to proceed, let’s not be naive to believe that by simply withdrawing all of our forces and so on the rest of the world will suddenly love America and leave America alone.

China has already stopped buying US Treasuries, and is slowly reducing their holdings.
We need to fix the present and long term fiscal imbalance.
- cut discretionary spending, both security and non-security;
(We need to rethink our national security needs based on the threats posed by radical Islamic jihad aided and abetted by Iran, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan; along with the threats posed by China and Russia.)
- reform mandatory spending;
- reform the tax code; and
- adopt such other policies as appropriate, all of which are designed to promote private sector growth, including turning America into an energy superpower.

I get frustrated listening to the average American dullard jaw on about how Ron Paul is weak on foreign policy. If Ron Paul was Pres. and the Congress felt that Iran was enough of a threat to declare war on, then Ron Paul would faithfully execute his role as commander-in-chief and prosecute the war if Congress so ordered .
How does that make Ron Paul week on foreign policy?
America, it’s time you wake up and read the constitution. The president’s job is to prosecute the wars that Congress declares. We The People are responsible for our foreign-policy entanglements not the president.
Newt Gingrich is a dishonest man, period! Anything that he proposes you need to take with a grain of salt.

I can agree with Barry_Rasmussen that the Paul vote surge may just be more protest voting. Congress and the Hope and Change President have failed miserably to right the wrongs of Bush and the abandonment of true fiscally conservative principles. The result is the economy we must endure indefinitely now while our government heaps us in debt.
There wouldn’t have been a Tea Party if the GOP hadn’t disenfranchised it’s base fiscally. 2010 isn’t over, constituents are still pissed, and to a large segment a pariah will sound refreshing until the economy is productive for the working classes again.
For 7 years now our elections have swapped a sizable segment of backlash at over reach on a number of issues. Washington is out of control on the left and right and they still aren’t hearing us because they are too busy chasing campaign money.
What puzzles me in these conversations is that if Ron Paul is so un-electable, you guys sure seem to spend an awful lot of time convincing yourselves to not vote for him. If he’s un-electable, why is he dangerous? Why do his anti-jingoism foreign policy beliefs matter? He’s not going to win right?
By Dick Morris calling him the most left wing candidate, does that mean the 10-20% of GOP supporters are left wing or just don’t understand (Paulbots, is the term I see used here alot) him in the big picture. Or worse, is he invalidating their protest vote?
It would seem to me that minimally you wouldn’t marginalize him just to make sure his rabid supporters stay within the GOP (standard issue Tea Party damage control)…..especially if he is pushed out into a 3rd party run. If you don’t like him, just don’t vote for him. The campaigning against him puzzles me.
If he commands a solid loyal 10% of the GOP, won’t his eventual endorsement be key to the GOP winning?
The Tea Party IMO has proven to be disasterous in legislation while favored in ideology. How does the GOP not fracture with these voracious attacks internally?
Thoughts?

Paul is saying we should try diplomacy first, if that fails than LEGALLY declare war, go in with everything we’ve got, win and leave them to rebuild their own nation.John Bolton’s a war-mongering chicken hawk
“He wrote in his Yale 25th reunion book “I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost.”-John Bolton
Well my Uncle did die in a rice paddy in Vietnam, my dad fought in Korea (US Army Signal Corp), my brother was a an Army Ranger and went to Grenada and right now my wonderful 26 year old nephew (an Air Force officer) is in Afghanistan, I find it disturbing that these politicians are so eager to throw other peoples kids in front of bullets and not make any sacrifices themselves. If it sooo important for our safety I want to see all these hawks ante up one of their kids…..(sound of birds chirpping) what no takers?
Mitt – got a deferment – he’s got 5 sons and I’m sure there’s a good reason they “can’t” serve
Newt – deferment – and neither of his daughters have served
Bachmann – she has like 20 something kids, well commit them to see action and I’ll commit mine
Santorum- same as Bachmann – come on Ricky ante up one of yours
Obama – same as Bachmann and SantorumRon Paul and Rick Perry both served in the Air Force. Perry as a pilot and Ron Paul was a flight surgeon. However, I also agree with Ron Paul on his domestic plan because he’s the only one with REAL cuts.
BTW: You must have had a public school education – Jefferson tried diplomacy – the Barbary wars were over piracy – they attacked and declared war on us.

What I find disturbing are people like you, who post a wall of hyperbole with selectively edited history.
As a veteran, I would thank your family for its service and sacrifice. That said, since the draft expired towards the end of the Vietnam war, those that enter military service are volunteers as well as adults, as a parent I will not “offer up” my son for service, I will let him make that decision on his own. It is not my place nor any parent’s place to make that decision for their adult “children”.
On the subject of Jefferson and the Barbary Pirates, you were aware that Jefferson first attempted to buy them off with bribes, were you not? Is this also a policy view shared by your candidate?

Listen to Ron Paul.. 1) Declare War 2) Strike hard and fast 3) Win the war 4) Get our troops home. Do you know how long the USA engaged in WWI and WWII?

The people that hate us have told our govt for years that they hate us because of our foreign policy. They do hate Christianity but they hate us bombing them in the name of Christ first!! They know better than us that America is not a Christian nation anymore, they laugh at us because we look stupid, all they have to go off of is our TV evangelist that make a mockery of true Christianity. Get real people we have to set the example in the world and start taking care of our own in this country. That can’t be done with the hundreds of bases and all our troops spread out across the globe. If these NC’s really wanted to end all the threats to America they would DECLARE WAR!! And let our troops with the best technology the world has ever seen, go take care of business and come home. No one would or ever could mess with us then. The lawyers run our troops now because we have no declaration. Wake up conservative America!!

They cut the part where Bolton pulls levers that cause flames to shoot into the air and declares himself the great and powerful wizard. That was the best part.
- Joseph Bocchino
John Bolton is a tool of the military industrial complex…
the same idiot who spun fake intel for Iraq Yellow Cake and on and on….
I for one, am very tired of the fake world wars….
it’s time for America first, and stop making the war profiteers rich…
Bolton first weighs in on Obama weaknesses in foreign policy, namely his removal of troops from Iraq that Bolton calls ‘catastrophic’, which he says should worry the entire world given its broader implications for a possible second Obama term. He also talks about how the world sees us now and how the may be plotting their challenges, which brings him to the GOP race of which he says there needs to be much more debate about foreign policy to show Americans what their alternatives are beyond what this weak president has done internationally.
Thus he feels the need to be candid in telling voters, politely of course, that we cannot live in fantasy land with Ron Paul’s foreign policy, which he says is worse than Obama’s foreign policy. He says if you are considering Ron Paul because of his domestic agenda, think again and pick another candidate:
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. …
But I guess I’d say to people who look at Ron Paul and have some measure of support for his domestic policies on the libertarian side, I’d have to say look, I consider myself pretty libertarian but you cannot live in fantasy land. The rest of the world is not going to leave us alone and we need a Commander-in-Chief who understands that. A Ron Paul president would simply not address the challenges we face.
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.
Neocon!
I’m kidding, of course.
