Sadly, I think this is what passes for political discourse these days. Bush was subject to similar sophomoric criticism. I am sure that more meaningful political debate occurs, but we have to search for it knowing that the media will give us the shit since it is in ratings competition with Entertainment Tonight and TMZ.

I actually like the tenor of Rand Paul's recent article criticising Republicans for invoking Reagan during the Ukraine conversation:

Quote: Regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, for example, there is little difference among most Republicans on what to do. All of us believe we should stand up to Putin's aggression. Virtually no one believes we should intervene militarily.

So we are then faced with a finite menu of diplomatic measures to isolate Russia, on most of which we all agree, such as sanctions and increased economic pressure.

Yet, some politicians have used this time to beat their chest. What we don't need right now is politicians who have never seen war talking tough for the sake of their political careers.
