Republican Debate Thoughts

First off, Ron Paul pwned everyone; that much is clear. But it was sad. I actually started getting these disturbing images of someone watching Paul’s comments after the fall of America.

I had this really depressing image in my head of a Red Dawn post-war situation where a bunch of Mad Max type soldiers find a copy of the debate we just watched, and they all sit transfixed as they see Paul describe the one thing that could have saved the country — a sound financial and non-interventionist foreign policy — and then get completely ignored.

It’s sickening, really. I’m watching the post-debate coverage now and nobody is even talking about Paul’s comments. It was also very clear that the other candidates had instructions not to engage Paul. The way that works is if you engage him you make him real. If you just pretend you didn’t hear him people will forget it ever happened.

Here’s what I know. If McCain or Romney get elected they’re taking us toward another world War — a bad one. They’ll continue to grow hatred of the U.S. in the Middle East by not leaving Iraq, and they’ll get conned into a Gulf of Tonkin incident that results in Israel starting a conflict with Iran.

1. We help Israel.
2. Much of the Mid East helps Iran.
3. We have very few allies.
4. Russia gets directly or indirectly involved against us.
5. China laughs its ass off and waits for everyone else to weaken.

The world is going to shit and watching the debates and reading Reddit is just depressing me. I should just play WoW and pretend everything is o.k. like the rest of the mouthbreathers.:
