I'm not sure how folks will receive his mentioning that some Republicans didn't want us getting involved in WWI and WWII.

I dont think this will be an issue, as we did not enter WWI at onset in 1914, not until 1917 did we go in, nor did we enter WWII at onset in 1939, not until attacked in 1941 by Japonese did we go in. We were staying out minding our own business in both wars, only until we were dragged in did we participate, pretty much common knowledge with Reps and Dems.
 
Lets put Ron Paul the Republican who is against the war on during Memorial Day weekend. Argh....
 
And meanwhile that jerk from New Mexico gets an hour on Meet the Press. Argh.....

Not entirely true.
WWI -We got involved because the Brits owed our banks a ton of debt. We got in at the turning point when the Germans had Britain and France on the ropes. If we did not intervene the debts would have been unpayed. (Great tactics in that war. Lets charge the machine gun position..."

WWII We were involved in the Lend Lease act supporting the Russians and Brits prior to the Japs bombing Pearl Harbor. It has been hinted the Roosevelt wanted us in the action earlier. However, with the Lend Lease Act, Germany or Japan could have interpret that as a breach of Neutrality.
That being said, the Germans had U-boats entering the Chesapeake Bay from time to time before War was formally declared (which is also an act of aggression.)
 
Haven't seen it on the search yet on You Tube.
The show is rebroadcast at 1am est in case whoever grabs this stuff missed the first chance.
Ron comes on about 25 minutes into the show.

Someone please post this. I have an addiction I need to feed, and only interviews with Ron Paul can satisfy me. Give me my fix!!
 
I thought it was very savvy!! The interviewer was able to play the devil's advocate in the form of a hard-nose neo-con without being seen as overly hostile to Dr Paul.

He did that by asking Dr Paul to respond to statements that the President had made. One of those statements was that we will leave Iraq if the government asks us to. Dr Paul said he thought that it was good that the President was thinking that way.

The interviewer asked Paul if he would pull the troops out immediately, and Paul said Yes.

But WW I sucked... and Wilson was elected on "he kept us out of the war" and then the media hyped up the zimmerman telegram, and Wilson (D) betrayed his principles and entered WW I, thinking he could change the world.

Wilson is one of the worst presidents ever, IMHO, for this. America did not want that stupid war. World War I was a waste.

Futhermore, the next president, Harding (R), had the HIGHEST POPULAR VOTE PERCENTAGE EVER!!! He was later villified for corruption, and being a do-nothing president, but he beleived that is exactly what the people wanted.

Only near his death did he discover his friends were corrupt, but he died of a heart attack, while in office, IIRC.
