Ron Paul is not to be trusted. Tonight, in the Fox debate, he told a whopper and it should cost him the nomination.

Michele Bachmann was the "pitbull" for the evening.  She did her best to get back in this primary race.  Understand that Bachmann is not just a lawyer.  In addition to her JD degree,  she has an LLM degree  -  much like a post graduate degree . . . . .  a very intelligent lady.

It was her exchange with Ron Paul that was the high point of the night, for me.  Paul got a little heated as he tried to defend himself against Bachmann's attacks against his anti-war,  isolationist,  stance.

During the exchange between Paul and Bachmann and while Paul was making his case for value and effectiveness negotiations,  not war,  he went back to the Cuban missile crisis in 1962.  I was just beginning my senior year in high school. It was October of 1962.    I remember the Cuban missile crisis quite well . . . . . . . . .  and it did not end in the manner Ron Paul described . . . . . . period   As he faced Bachmann,  he claimed that President Kennedy talked his way out of the Cuban missile crisis via diplomacy.  The implication being that diplomacy works when war or the threat of war does not.   He lied and  I mean to say that  Ron Paul  lied.  And he knows it.

It was not "diplomacy" that won the day in 1962,   as Ron Paul suggested   Rather,  it was the threat of war that drove the Russians out of Cuban,  running for cover like the cowards they have always been.    Here is a segment of a speech JFK presented to the nation,  in which the President let us all know  that we were on the verge of going to war.  Several of my buddies quit school and joined the military.  I had planned on going down with another group of friends to sign up . . . . . on the very day Russia surrendered and began taking their missiles out of Cuba.  Again,  diplomacy be damned,  in this case.  We were going to attack the Soviet Union,  camped out in Cuba and everyone my age was ready for the fight  --  kind of like the young men fighting our wars,  now.

Understand,  that this was going to be nuclear war,  or,.  at least,  that was the fear.  The Russians were in our backyard and a Democrat President told them to "go to hell."  If this had been up to Ron Paul or Barack Obama,  they would have told the nation that Cuba's sovereignty was the more important issue,  that nations have a right to act as they see fit.

Here is the most profoundly anxious three minute announcement in American history . . . . . and the end of Ron Paul's candidacy  (or it should be).    Ron Paul will get us all killed,  if he is president  . . . .  that is if Obama doesn't beat him to it.
