Entry: Third-Way Delusions Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/third_way_delusions#21911 Post contents: "It was precisely the most ideologically libertarian of Mr. Paul’s positions that were the most problematic for his campaign. Chief of these was his lukewarm support for immigration control, conceiving it to be merely a matter of abolishing welfare for immigrants and they’d all go home." Sorry Ted, but I must say you were not paying attention. His non-interventionism in general and his absolute disapproval of the war in Iraq was what killed him among the warmongers of the GOP. Their unwillingness to even consider the evils of empire has been one of the biggest political disappointments in years. Conversely, it was McCain's seeming goal of placing every nation on Earth in either a 'Protect' or a 'Destroy' box that made many GOP voters look past his many conservative infidelities. Sad times indeed. Peace be with you. Sent at: 2008 07 24
