Sir Rand Paul: "foreign policy is a complete non-issue"

Just another topic Rand Paul doesn't want to talk about, be asked questions about, or have to define in any sort of sense that might put him on record. He just wants to sit back and call himself a conservative Freedom Fighting libertarian Patriot without actually proving any of it.

Here's what he told the right wing extremist magazine National Review:
"As we turn to foreign policy, Paul says it is on this front that he finds himself most at odds with the GOP. However, he confides that he seldom talks about his foreign-policy positions, because what the voters really care about is economic matters. On the campaign trail, he says, “'I’m not thinking about Afghanistan; foreign policy is really a complete non-issue.'”
Of course it's a non issue to him.  He's not the one doing the fighting or dying.  He's at home in his comfortable air conditioned office collecting millions of dollars from socialist Medicare.  That and he doesn't want to have to say that he supports more war because that would collide totally with his fake libertarianism. It is, after all, the official stance of the Libertarian Party that our war in Afghanistan is worthless and that we should come home today.  Coming out in support of that would alienate his Republican base that is so war hungry they are licking their chops for an invasion of Iran.  

A war that we have been fighting for the last 9 years, in a country that is responsible for the September 11th attacks, that has cost the lives of thousands of service men and women, and has cost this country nearly half a trillion dollars of tax payer money (the same money that pays him his lucrative millions) is a non-issue.  Unbelievable that this guy is actually the leading candidate to be the next U.S. senator from Kentucky.  What a world we live in.  A world where only a Republican could get away with something like this.
