...he seemed to make a lot of sense in this video.  http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2011/03/01/ron-paul-vs-hillary-clinton-on-supporting-dictators/ (apologies if this has already been posted)

Any thoughts?

I will have watch the video later. 

I have mixed feelings about Ron Paul, but I am tickled at the fact that he is now the chairman of the committee that oversees the Fed.

He's got really strong points in there. I personally don't agree with a lot of his ideas, but I do agree that we are spreading ourselves way too thin (sending troops to Libya? REALLY?!) and that we need to back the fuck away from supporting countries that could bomb the piss out of Israel with the weapons with give them. I also think we should back the fuck off of Israel, and I was hoping he'd get to that, but he didn't.

Hilary held her ground, but I wasn't impressed.

Ron Paul is a hypocritical cunt.  I stopped giving him chances to convince me 8 years ago.

Roger, i know that you see his views on earmarks as hypocritical (and you have convinced me of that matter to, ftr), but in the context of this video, do you see him as hypocritical?

Won't even listen to him, Ippie.  I despise him and his Nazi kid.  He has nothing to say that I am interested in listening to.

Hilary's argument seems to boil down to "Sometimes working with dictators is advantageous."  So, I guess, so much for morality...

Awww Hoops honey don't feel bad. Hillary waived her morality option when she married Bill.....  It's in the pre-nup right after he can screw anyone he wants as long as she can be the man of the family.  :lulz:

yep, agree.  his foreign policy positions have always resonated with me. 

and Roger, you should be for the guy for the simple fact that he really pisses off republicans like Lindsey Graham (for instance)

anything that brings the rage to bill kristol type republicans gives me the warm and fuzzies.
