Romney to give defense of Neoconservative Foreign Policy at VMI

Cowlesy said:
We may not have the revenue, but that didn't stop Bush.

In fact, we can borrow for 10 years at 1.6%. That pretty much gives him carte blanche to do whatever he wants.

But that was the first extended muck-it-up campaign since Vietnam. Afghanistan and Iraq have helped to drain the treasury along with horrible fiscal mismanagement. And the U.S. recently eclipsed the point-of-no-return 100% debt to GDP mark. Secondly, we're dealing with a highly reluctant Pentagon on the account that their troop force is literally unraveling. I don't think the U.S. could take over and hold Cyprus for a few months, never mind Iran.
 
FUCK this guy. I'm sick to my stomach that he might win. Seriously, I'd take five Obamas over someone with a bunch of Bush-era NeoCon foreign policy advisers. You think things are bad now. Just you wait. Keep shifting our foreign policy to the land of Neocon hysteria and we'll be ruing the day any of us considered Romney might be a little better than Obama.

The U.S. and Iran have been pitted in a proxy war for over 30 years. The Iranians use their surrogates, whether it's Hezbollah, Hamas or whomever. And the U.S. trains and supplies their own surrogates. Both sides are reluctant to embark down the conventional warfare route because they understand the implications. The fact that the CIA is behind the scenes manipulating the status of the Rial tells anyone with a functioning brain that the U.S. is not ready to go to war. She's incredibly weak as exhibited by all these two-bit games.

Perhaps not, but we could B1-B Lancer and B-2 them into the stone age, and I am sure the debt markets would happily finance those ordinance purchases.

And we'd create a few million new sworn enemies in the name of 'national security.'

We should go to war as soon as we can. We have to defend ourselves from Hezbollah and Hamas.

Well said! Obama 2012.

As for those who think that Romney would actually repeal Obamneycare at the federal level or oppose gun control, dont be one of these:

There would be no financial markets after the Strait was locked down with Iranian gunboats and Russian made sunfire missiles. European fuel would cease to flow and the shaky dominoes would fall in a very violent fashion. Iran needs to be taken down discretely, not with guns blazing. It's far too risky for the elites.

Romney supports repealing Obamacare at the federal level and would never try to ram through federal gun control bills with a GOP Congress in control. Like Cowlesly said, Romney is considerably better than Obama on domestic issues, but seems to want to make it impossible for any paleo-conservative to vote for him, due to his hardcore neo-conservative foreign policy views.

Obama says he's for gun control.

Romney signed a gun ban into law.

Romney is worse than Obama on this issue, which is, to me, one of the most important to me, it is, in fact, the reason I got involved in politics 30 years ago.

I won't be supporting or voting for a gun banner.

I'm not saying you should vote for Romney. I'm just saying that Romney's neo-conservative positions on foreign policy issues seems to be a better reason not to vote for him than the fear that he would push for additional federal gun control laws. What additional federal gun control laws is Romney currently proposing?

Don't get me wrong. I don't like Obama. But this is just beyond the pale for me. I know Obama's foreign policy is AWFUL and that's why I'm disturbed there's someone who wants to pretend it isn't, so let's make our foreign policy TWICE as awful.

I don't like Obama either, but yes compared to putting neocons in charge, Obama is quite a bit less frightening.

Out of 10, Obama's a .5, and Willard's a flat zero.

Can anyone honestly see Romney putting people in FEMA camps? I don't. Obama could care less.
 
I am probably naive to not worry about Romney trying to do national gun control. I can't see him ever touching that, not because he doesn't want to, but because he'd never in a million years get re-elected.

But this foreign policy stuff, the neoconservatives are making a big fucking gamble that people hate Obama so much, that they don't need a large portion of Ron Paul's votes.
