If that's not a flip-flopping hypocrite, then I don't know who is.
I was surprised that Rand Paul's OP Ed last week was not acknowledged in this forum.

Next time read the previous posts. He said he wouldn't take it off the table when first asked about it. Then recently asked on what reasons he'd go after them. Only if our borders were threatened. AND he'd seek congressional approval. They've been threatened.
Your post didn't have all the facts.

Plus you're comparing Benghazi gun running with a terrorist organization that said they are coming after us.

Hillary served on the board of directors for Walmart before that went all China Mart.
She is a Neocon Globalist War Hawk like Bush and Obama.

Paul's recent comments put him in the same boat with her, and pretty much everyone else for that matter, since everyone seem to support taking out ISIS.

What a silly comment. Rand has stated only using force when threatened. Unlike the others he doesn't believe in nation building.
Take out a dictator the situation gets worse as there is a power vacuum. It's happened time and time again as the radicals fight to get power since no one is in power to keep them in check. Same thing happened when we took out Saddam.

That isolationist attitude as you call it, is no longer being seen that way by MANY people.
He is not against having a strong military.

"I look at the world, and consider war, realistically and constitutionally.
I still see war as the last resort." Rand Paul

Like Father, like son - in this case....
And, I don't know many (if they were honest) at this point in time, that can say Ron Paul was wrong
about the ramifications of our present/past foreign policy.

I think the voters will surprise you.

You didn't post any facts, you added 1 and 1 and got 3.
"The sun rises in the east and someone dies that day. If only the sun rose in the west." Describes the thought process in some of your posts.
