Arizona Sen. John McCain has a message for the GOP: Isolationism makes for wrong-headed and dangerous foreign policy . In an interview with ABC’s This Week, the former presidential candidate said that, while he’s currently satisfied with the Republican field, he deeply disagrees with the isolationist strain that he believes is coming to the forefront. According to The Daily Caller, McCain had the following to say:
“I wonder what Ronald Reagan would be saying today?” McCain said. “[H]e would be saying that’s not the Republican Party of the 20th century and now the 21st century. That’s not the Republican Party that has been willing to stand up for freedom for people for all over the world – whether in Grenada that Ronald Reagan had a quick operation about or about countering the Soviet Union.”
McCain said he disagreed with 2012 contender Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann’s position that there are no vital national security interests in Libya for the United States.
“I strongly disagree with her and others,” McCain said. “The fact is our interests are our values are that we don’t want people needlessly slaughtered by the thousands if we present such activity…”
McCain also said that it would not be appropriate for him to endorse any candidates at this juncture. You can watch the interview below:

Posted on June 19, 2011 at 12:19pmWhat is this guy talking about? What did Reagan do to intercede in foreign tragedies around the world? He sent peacekeeepers to Lebanon. That didn’t work out well, and he didn’t repeat the blunder. He bombed Libya ONCE as a direct responce to Libyan agression against us and their role in the Lockerbie bombing. He attacked Grenada. But that was in our hemisphere and tied in directly to the war against communism. Over all, Reagan kept our forces equiped and ready, but didn’t expend them on missions that did not directly effect our security interests.

Obama and Reagan both bombed Libya without seeking Congressional approval. If that’s a violation of Constitutional principles (and it is) then it has to be for both parties.
Or is there a special Constitution that only applies to you?

Posted on June 19, 2011 at 1:17pmSure, they both bombed Libya, but which leader had our nation’s best interests in mind? Let’s see; Reagan’s attack was carried out in response to the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing. The Marxist’s attack on Libya was more about fulfilling our commitments to our international allies.

I think he was the most disappointing Republican Pres Candidate since Robert Dole!
The Left is ramping up their discussions, screams and lies. Van Jones and Johnny McCain are in a camp together now! All of this is to degrade the values of the conservatives and libertarians and make us appear totally insane on the world stage and to ‘get’ at us. Targeting libertarian movements for smaller government; closing borders; getting out of Libya, Yemen and eventually A-Stan/Iraq; is not crazy.
Obama is ‘spending till gone’ as a proponent of Big Government.
Ronald Reagan knew how to destroy USSR: competed to get them to spend them into oblivion and ‘fundamental change’. History is repeating itself. WE are the targets now for ‘change’.
I do not see ANYTHING McCain has done to help PREVENT the ‘fundamental change’ Obummer has spoken about since his run-up. McCain looked like a dufus-drunk-goodtimes boy in that 2008 run-up. Yeah—he was indeed a POW hero in VietNam—no doubt; no questions there– he really succeeded in strength and honor the hard way. But he has since disgraced his own struggles. Staring into the face of a commie should have been familiar to him but he didn’t see it, did NOT get it: MCCAIN NEVER pushed max focus on this in 2008 or NOW!

“”Perhaps we didn’t appreciate fully enough the depth of the hatred and the complexity of the problems that made the Middle East such a jungle. Perhaps the idea of a suicide car bomber committing mass murder to gain instant entry to Paradise was so foreign to our own values and consciousness that it did not create in us the concern for the marines’ safety that it should have.
In the weeks immediately after the bombing, I believe the last thing that we should do was turn tail and leave. Yet the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there. If there would be some rethinking of policy before our men die, we would be a lot better off. If that policy had changed towards more of a neutral position and neutrality, those 241 marines would be alive today. “”

Posted on June 20, 2011 at 11:04amMcCain is, was and will always be a loser. He got my vote only because the idiots that set up the voting machines ILLEGALLY had the presidential and vice-presidential candidates tied together. The office of President and Vice-President are two offices, not one.

Posted on June 20, 2011 at 5:32pmHey RINO…please take your fat daughter and fake wife and get the hell outta dodge. Nobody gives a damn about you anymore. You have made yourself completely irrelevant. You and your family defines the term RINO. Thank you for your military service, no thank you for your senate “service.”
