NO MORE NEO CONS ... 1. Rand Paul will be more cautious with waging war than Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush. Sen. Paul has called Obamas ISIS war illegal and isnt against defending American interests through military intervention, but stresses the importance of Congress making these decisions. Hillary Clinton, in contrast, thinks we should have armed the Syrian rebel groups several years ago. Try naming even one of the Syrian rebel groups and explaining their differences with ISIS. Furthermore, The Week states that Clintons instincts appear to be far more hawkish than Barack Obamas. Imagine a more hawkish Obama and youll get the next President Clinton. Also, famed neocon Robert Kagan is one of Clintons advisers and states in The New York Times, I feel comfortable with her on foreign policy. That should tell you how liberal Clinton will be on matters of perpetual war in the Middle East. 2. The Los Angeles Times has referred to Paul as one of the foremost critics of the governments domestic spying program. In early 2014, Sen. Paul filed a lawsuit against the NSA over domestic spying. Neither Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, nor any other candidate in 2016 has made this a top priority in their campaign. Sen. Paul has also voted against PATRIOT Act Extension bills, voted for an amendment that prohibits detention of U.S. citizens without trial (which of course didnt pass the Senate), and his voting record protects American citizens from politicians paranoid over terrorism. Sen. Paul was vehemently against the NDAA Indefinite Detention Bill that passed in 2013, because, This bill takes away that right and says that if someone thinks youre dangerous, we will hold you without a trial. Its an abomination. huffingtonpost/h-a-goodman/im-a-liberal-democrat-im_b_6169542.html
