McCain's Dean Scream

[Thomas Paine]

Some peole like this idea, my dad who is libertarian on domestic issues, thinks that its a good think that we still have troops in Germany and Japan to keep them from rising up again militarily.

Does your dad still think it is a good idea to keep troops in Germany and Japan if it means that the per capita share of the $10 Trillion national debt is approximately $30,000 and growing??? I would like to keep troops in every country in the world if it would ensure world peace but we can't afford it! The United States is essentially subsidizing the military responsibilities of Allies like Germany and Japan who can spend more to police their region of the world. World War 2 has been over for over 60 years.

People forget that England and France warred against each other for centuries and only made peace in the first half of the 20th century. However, you don't see the British keeping troops in France to make sure that France doesn't rise up militarily. It's time we start reducing our military footprint in Asia and Europe and let our Allies shoulder more military responsibilities. If a problem arises in the future, the United States will successfully deal with it like it did in WW1 and WW2.

THE 30 second soundbite

American politics runs on soundbites. The soundbite that RP needs to bring up in relation to this video and bringing all the troops home is this. "Why are hard working Americans paying for european universal healthccare by eliminating the need for them to pay for their own national defense" Why are we willing to send our money, that we need at home, and the lives of tens of thousands of our young people for the defense of Germany, Japan, France etc........"

::hopes that someone from HQ sees this post::

yeah right!

 

[stevedasbach]

Does HQ know about this????

What with Obama voting for torture, detention without trial and funding the war... now McCain wants 100yr war in Iraq.

HQ has $20m+ - surely they can get this message out. With all the Ind voters we should clean up in NH...

Yes -- there have been several postings indicating that HQ knows about this.

This is AWESOME !

McCain is just stating the consequences of the position he shares with every other Republican candidate. Obviously we're planning on permanent deployment. The scale of our infrastructure and pattern of past military endeavors made this apparent to every observant person in the country.

Dr. Paul needs to use this ridiculous quote from McCain.

He also needs to point out the fact that Blackstone is getting paid huge money to work there while our men are receiving low pay for risking their lives off base where the danger lies.

He needs to mention those huge profits doubling .
