Why are sanctions against Iran wrong?

Its as if Rand Paul is fighting these traitors almost single-handedly...
You mean the same Rand Paul that endorsed Mitt Romney and voted for sanctions against Iran? That isn't a "traitor" to you? He's no better than the rest of them.

So do you just blindly like people that Ron Paul supports?
Because Ted Cruz is a goldman sachs candidate, you might as well support Obama.

The Ron Paul Revolution got nowhere this year. Sorry, but it's time to face facts.

That would be speaking without knowing any facts.
But yes, let's FACE some of the facts.
And by facts you must mean exposing corruption at the highest levels of the RNC and taking over the Republican party in several states at the actual state and county levels isn't 'getting anywhere'?
I suppose that would be the difference between you and me, you have no idea what you're talking about and I experienced it all first hand, at least I can say that in regards to the 'Ron Paul Revolution' I wouldn't claim first hand knowledge to many other things that I am not fully confident in.

I can't believe this. Senator Rand brought tears to my eyes. He is telling the 100% truth and was unanimously voted against. We're in trouble, big trouble. They don't give a damn about the will of the people. This is very frightening. Not that I am surprised, but how do we stop it? Can we? I don't think so, but I would like to hear suggestions.
Rand is a true statesmen. Him supporting Romney made me ill, but I understand the politics he has to play, he's on our side just like his father. I'm very disappointed with this bill being shot down 81-10. America is a in downward spiral to oblivion.

They would rather spend our money on foreigners than Americans here at home, ...and God knows we need it here!

To stop foreign aid is irresponsible. The only thing it would effect is an even greater control of the extreme elements over the land and a eventual strike on Israel.
This is bad because the entire west would then have to weigh in with troops and ignite a war. Not sure the scale, but chances are it won't be like 76.
If we stop schooling the savages to be civil..then they won't be civil basically.
I am in 2 minds about it. We can use the foreign aid to prop up some programs in trouble already (such as SS...granted, its a drop in the bucket, but there are many drops out there). But at the same time, I do understand the consequences.
Beware those whom make this a black/white decision. Clear sign either they have no clue what they are talking about, or have a warhawk agenda.
A discussion is required on this indeed...and the people need to understand where exactly the bulk of the money is going. Right now, the retardomedia is painting a picture that we are basically giving money for them to buy italian suits and bombs when thats not the case...and its that money that is in essence bribing them to not do what is in their nature...bribing long enough to where moderates are in charge (how long that may take is another concern).

America can't just stop giving aid to other countries, especially when they need help after a disaster has occurred, or when an opposing nation attacks or threatens their nations; especially when most of them have been willing to go along with the American petro dollar which is not backed by anything and the presses are running faster every year.
