The GOP candidates sure know how to throw a verbal punch, but personal insults on personal insults are starting to get old. Everyone loves especially to hurl on Newt Gingrich, whether it's about his infidelity to his first wife (which Perry and Santorum's morals just cannot handle) or the recent attack by Ron Paul on Newt's avoidance of the Vietnam War. Can't these candidates focus on more important things such as how they're going to fix the country? Can't they put personal decisions and the past in the past? It seems that they can't.
Paul states: "I don't want to fight a war that's unconstitutional and I'm the dangerous person? You know, when Newt Gingrich was called to service in the 1960s during the Vietnam era, guess what he thought about danger? He chickened out on that, he got deferments and didn't even go...he has no business talking about danger because he is putting other people in danger."
I respect Ron Paul's support from the military and agree with several of his views, but these statements made me lose a lot of respect for him. There is no need to push others down in order to pull yourself up. Gingrich may have had other reasons for not going to Vietnam, and a personal decision is PERSONAL. Paul should start focusing on how to describe his foreign policy, not disrespect the other candidates.
The article is not biased at all, and only really takes block quotes from Paul on his stance on Gingrich and his ambiguous foreign policies.
