Yeah, a candidate stripping on camera is always shocking...but seeing him dance to MC Hammer music was too much.

I didn't think he'd go all the way though...but I guess he's in it "all the way".

I know you're mostly here for the snark, Jongs, but where do y'all get the idea that Dr. Paul cannot/would not defend our country? Is it this old tired nonsense that we MUST fight this absurd war in Iraq in order to stay "safe" (no tag-backs)? Jesus, you still clinging to the goofy legend that the U.S. single handedly won WWII?

Last I checked, it's congress's duty to declare war, anyway. God forbid we have a president that would actually wait to go to war until it's declared...sigh

First of all, he is not a peacenik isolationist. He is perfectly willing to go to war to defend our country--unlike Bush, he actually served in the armed forces the *entire* time he was supposed to. Unlike Bush, he just wants us to have good relationships with people who are not threatening us. Isolationist is just name-calling from people who WANT to meddle in other countries for their own agendas (not for the best interest of the USA).

Second of all, it is not necessarily right to assume that non-meddlers like Paul would not have entered WWII at the right time. WWII was a different animal. Everyone else was already at war BEFORE us. Hitler had already invaded several countries. All of our meddling done in the last 50 years involved us going out there alone or with one other country, trying to force some other country to do what WE want. Trying to step back from that doesn't mean we won't join an international alliance at war if necessary. It just means that if we do, and risk the lives of our soldiers, we better do it because the rest of our lives are at stake.

Finally, the decision to delay entering the war saved countless AMERICAN lives. Now, maybe more Americans *should* have been sacrificed to help save European lives, but had it been the other way around, I very much doubt that Europeans would have jumped right in without delay to save American lives.
