Commentary By Ron Beasley
The quote of the day comes from Daniel Larison:
Romney has given the public no reason to expect anything but the worst in the conduct of foreign policy by his administration if he is elected.
Romney's foreign policy advisors are the very same people who got us into Iraq and Afghanistan. The complete and total nut case John Bolton is one of them. The Obama campaign needs to pick up on this because it will drive libertarians to Gary Johnson. The Romney Campaign konws this and are trying to keep Jonhson off the ballot.
Daniel Larison is not a libertarian but he is a realist when it comes to foreign policy. The American people are tired of war. Romney's irresponsible foreign policy should be an issue.
If you are appalled by the foreign policy ideas of Romney, why aren't you appalled by those of Obama? They are virtually the same. We have the US funding known terrorists to overthrow governments in Libya and Syria, the US wantonly murdering people in Pakistan, Yemen, and elsewhere by remote control, undermining the governments of nations who are allegedly our friends, like Pakistan - how much worse will it be? Sure John Bolton is more apt to say something nasty than Hillary Clinton, but their foreign policies are almost identical.
ReplyDeleteIf we want a government that will stop intervening in other countries, drop the size of its military to a rational level, and use the money saved to make the lives of its people better, we don't have a candidate in this election, at least not one with any chance of winning.
