Rand Paul Attacks Hillary Clinton for "Battling Climate Change instead of Terrorism"

Yes, Clinton is not hawkish enough for the former anti-interventionist known as Rand Paul [ http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/rand-paul-hillary-climate-change-terrorism ]:

The Kentucky Republican was asked on Fox News about the Democrat's comments Thursday that climate change constituted "the most consequential, urgent, sweeping collection of challenges" facing the country and the world.

His response: "I don't think we really want a commander-in-chief who is battling climate change instead of terrorism."

He went on to question "whether she has the wisdom to lead the country — which I think it's obvious that she doesn't."


So much for Ralph Nader's libertarian/left alliance.

There is so much wrong in Paul's statement that I don't know where to begin. He is trying simultaneously to be on Hillary Clinton's right and left on war and peace issues. According to Paul, she's a dangerous interventionist, a hawk, and she's a weak coward who fights "climate change," which Paul denies, and runs from a real fight against terrorists.

I did not think I would ever say this: Rand Paul makes George W. Bush look like an intellectual.

The movie Dumb and Dumber could have been about the incoherent and contradictory positions Paul takes.

By the way, Hillary Clinton was right on her comment regarding the threat of climate change. Things like this are why, even if I eventually choose not to vote for her in a primary, I can vote for her in a general election if she is nominated.
