No! It's the Freedomses.
The chairman of the Michigan Republican Party said Wednesday he will try to bar presidential candidate Ron Paul from future GOP debates because of remarks the Texas congressman made that suggested the Sept. 11 attacks were the fault of U.S. foreign policy.
Michigan party chairman Saul Anuzis said he will circulate a petition among Republican National Committee members to ban Paul from other debates. At a GOP candidates’ debate Tuesday night, Paul drew attacks from all sides, most forcefully from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, when he linked the terror attacks to U.S. bombings.
“Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years,” Paul said.
Anuzis called the comments “off the wall and out of whack.”
How wilfully naive does one have to be to miss the point that it's not our domestic policies that piss of Islamic radicals... those policies piss off the our local radicals. It's our overreach and unrequested involvement in the affairs of other nations that inflames them.
Entrance criteria for high rank in the GOP must be really lax these days.
