<<<<but I can't say I'd trust Paul to get us out of this. Paul is an impractical zealot. >>>>> Zealot? What do you base that on? He might be an zealot against debt - but that is a poor use of the word that needs to be saved for special religious situations. So you and Paul agreed on the war. Almost all Americans were at the time for it - and virtually all in congress voted for it - except for Paul. I'm not asking you to like Paul nor vote for him nor support him nor even say he's right. I really don't care what you think of him anymore than I care what you think of anyone running for office. It is hardly my concern. What I am saying - and all that I am saying here - is that Paul told us what would happen if we went to war without paying for it. He also warned us repeatedly about our debt. As we stumbled into a AA+ rating - it looks like he is right about that too.
