Comments on: Presidential Primary 2008: Voting Early, and an Endorsement http://perpetualbeta.com/release/archives/2008/01/24/presidential-primary-2008-voting-early-and-an-endorsement/ not quite ready to ship Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:32:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Jason http://perpetualbeta.com/release/archives/2008/01/24/presidential-primary-2008-voting-early-and-an-endorsement/#comment-17229 Jason Wed, 30 Jan 2008 05:04:34 +0000 http://perpetualbeta.com/release/archives/2008/01/24/presidential-primary-2008-voting-early-and-an-endorsement/#comment-17229 Hey Mike, was surfing the web and saw your endorsement. Also saw your recent bost on twitter about possble AG for Rudy. AG is a thankless position, and like most cabinet positions, I suspect he'd merely be a seat warmer for the next guy - seems like a lot of cabinet secretaries get the regular privilege of resigning as the fall guy for the President. I like to think Rudy as more of VP material, although that might send Rush and many other conservatives right over the cliff. Hey Mike, was surfing the web and saw your endorsement.

His is a policy of discussion and trade, not isolationism. Don't confuse isolationism with a reluctance to go to war over every perceived slight. He voted in favor of action in Afghanistan, but correctly voted against invading Iraq, which was inexcusable. (UN resolution violations? Give me a break.) Paul would open up trade with Cuba and all other countries, and allow the American cultural and commercial empire to do the missionary work for free enterprise and human rights. Mean while, Bush won't talk to the leadership of major countries, and wants to believe that trade sanctions against Cuba and other countries is working. Who's the isolationist?
