IDK? these remarks sure don't seem like he's pulling for him.


Paul took on the role of the lonely isolationist throughout the debate, calling on the administration to withdraw American troops from commitments overseas as a way to slash government spending.

He also questioned the point of humanitarian aid, including money to combat AIDS and other diseases in Africa.

"I think the aid is all worthless," Paul said. "It doesn't do any good for most of the people. You take money from poor people in this country and you end up giving it to rich people in poorer countries."

"I think the aid is all worthless," Paul said. "It doesn't do any good for most of the people. You take money from poor people in this country and you end up giving it to rich people in poorer countries."

I know what your getting at, but this line is a good one I think. It sums up the absurdity of the whole foreign 'aid' program. Same with the bombing and then building of bridges in foreign lands, securing other countries borders, etc....

The "US Taxpayer" is, and has been, getting ripped off left and right and no one seems to care really. Like it doesn't matter or something.

"Aid" to places like Africa should be OUR decision, NOT any governments. If we had all the unnecessary money the government was taking, more people would give out of humanatarian desires and more of that money would actually go to the "aid" not bureaucracy FOR the "aid"

"lonely isolationist" is what I was referring to, RP is far from lonely and is a non-interventionist, not an isolationist.
