Yea, Russert always kicks ass...He did the same thing to Giuliani and Romney. Check out Rudy last week...I think he lost his mind...starts giggling like a little girl.

I heard it on the radio. It's better for these politicians to be questioned hard on their policy record than not at all..

As Red State observes, strange things happen when Tim Russert meets Ron Paul. On MTP this morning, Russert asked Paul a number of questions, from how and what government stuff would Paul pay for once he�s done away with the income tax, to whether America should defend its allies like South Korea (he thinks we shouldn�t, and double ditto that for Israel, and don�t even get him started on any other problem area anywhere in the world � his answer is always to blame America).

Ron Paul, quite incredibly, thinks Iran has no army, no navy and no air force at all and therefore would never attack Israel. Evidently Paul doesn�t realize the utility that ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons would offer an Iran whose president has repeatedly declared his personal desire to wipe Israel off the map. A couple of well-placed nukes could in fact do that, whether Iran has an army or not. Which, by the way, it does. Really. Iran does have an army. A navy and an air force, too, with an indigenously constructed fighter airplane leading the latter into the skies. Paul might want to bone up on that a bit. He�d do well to Google the Shahab series of missiles while he�s at it.

Paul also might want to bone up on the US military�s presence overseas and who actually pays for it. He�s against it, though he doesn�t even know how many troops we have overseas or what they�re doing or why they�re there. That also came out in the interview. And he thinks the US taxpayer pays the entire bill, which isn�t true. We pay the bulk of it, but we don�t pay all of it. Host countries pick up a sizable portion of the tab, funding everything from the cost of living allowances to the housing that our overseas troops need. All of that and more was packed into an interview that demonstrated once and for all that however well-meaning Paul is on the small government front (an area where he could and does make some sense), he�s simply too ignorant on foreign policy and too quick to blame America for just about every bad thing in the world to be trusted with the power of the presidency. No good can come of it.

I clipped the section below, though, because it reveals that deep in his libertarian heart Ron Paul may actually be a bigot. Tim Russert asks Paul if he would like to revise the remark he made on Fox the other day when he reacted to the Huckabee �floating cross� ad by leaping to denounce fascism. The clear inference Paul was making was that Huckabee was engaging in a little fascism when he wished Americans a Merry Christmas in a TV ad. Check out Paul�s answer: He was unprepared for that question, heard about a cross in an ad, and thought immediately of fascism. Not the Christmas season, that being this very time of year. Not church or anything like that. Fascism.

That�s the mind of a bigot at work, imho. Or a paranoiac. Take your pick, Ronulans.

It seems one thing the left and the right can agree on is that Ron Paul is nuts.

yeah, here's Paul after the show...looks like a real nutball.

The hardcore lefties hate Paul because of economic policy, and the hardcore righties hate him on foreign policy. Oh well, I guess he won't be getting their votes.. He'll have to settle for the "sloppy center" (which happens to be most of the country) along with a good chunk of the 50% of Americans who didn't vote last time.

I'm pretty sure everybody hates him on the "withdraw from all treaties and international commitments and let the world hate us for it" part.

Seriously, for someone who thinks that the concept of "blowback" is new and revolutionary, you don't seem to think in terms of it very well.
