Ron Paul needs a new strategy here. He needs to have the respect of the neo-cons. And the only thing these people respect is fear. Ron Paul needs to develop a fear of not being prepared here at home. He needs to stop talking about why we were attacked on 9/11 but say the best response to 9/11 would have been to protect us here at home. Obviously we were attacked here. Our fighter jets did not respond in time. There were many failures of our defenses at home. Moving our troops overseas is not fixing these problems.
In Katrina, we saw a catastrophic failure. It took troops 3 days to respond. All of our national guard are in Iraq. What would happen if we are attacked again? We can't have this dismal response time.
He needs to crank up the fear to win this argument - as much as I dislike this tactic - the only way these people react is by fear.
How about a list of things we are dismally unprepared for - an EMP attack - a 9.5 earthquake in LA? Just ask the questions - would we have enough troops here at home to respond? How many Americans would lose their lives because we are not ready at home
We really need to scare these people - Ron Paul needs to scare these people before they will listen....
Beck would never vote for Paul anyhow. He's a Zionist extremist nutter.
Here's Beck's priority list:
1. Israel
2. Israel
3. Israel
4. Israel
5. Israel
6. Israel
7. Israel
8. Israel
9. Israel
10. The United States
Thank you for your nice words, Mr. 'Israel first, America second' Beck.Beck says Ron Paul has "sealed it", he could "never ever" vote for Ron Paul, but goes on to agree with some aspects of Ron Paul's foreign policy platform.

But, But, but,,,,
Beck is our friend,,,,
He's coming around,,,
he's on our side,,,
Bullshit. He is a Propagandist. A professional manipulator of public opinion.
Yeah I'm confused, he agreed entirely with Ron Paul, but bashed him at the same time... It's like we're in the twilight zone... or maybe beck is.Where did GB actually disagree with Ron in that? It sounded like he just said "he doesn't have a clue on all these things I fully agree with him on!"
I sincerely hope that Ron's baggage doesn't follow Rand in the future. You know sure as well, they're going to dig up some of Ron's controversial statements and stick it to Rand's forehead, when the time is right.
Glenn Beck is a Conservative. Ron Paul doesn't know how to speak the Conservative language sometimes (Rand Paul does).
Ron Paul says the right thing, but in the wrong way.
Ron Paul Conservatives have warned Ron Paul about this, but Ron Paul fails to take the advice.
By "baggage" do you mean the truth? I hope Rand sticks as closely to Ron's philosophy and message as possible. You say it's a poisonous message, but how has Ron done everything he's done if that's the case? His "poisonous" message is controlling the national debate right now. I think you're looking at the establishment pushback here, and taking it a bit too seriously. The fact is that they are no longer very relevant, but Ron Paul and his message is.
