That has me pissed off

A campaign photo for a GOP Presidential contender pairs Ron Paul with the President of Iran, as if running mates - and that has me pissed off:

Pairing Ron Paul in a photo with a known tyrant is just more idiotic scoffing against the clearly responsible position that we must obey our constitutional laws and declare wars through congress before invading foreign countries: SCOFFING IS NOT THE SAME THING AS PRESENTING A CREDIBLE ARGUMENT IN A PRINCIPLED DEBATE.
You place a photo like this forward as a reason for supporting your favorite candidate, and wonder why there is a problem with our national discourse? Obviously Ron Paul would have a difficult time with rallying you to a general election push against the Obama Administration incumbency in the fall - but that's up to you.
I oppose liberal WARFARE programs as well as liberal welfare programs - but perhaps you believe the hype for war, that our path to national redemption lies through the streets of Tehran. Who in YOUR family is going to fight this? I have one son in the breech. Soon I'll have two there.
You think I support Ron Paul because Iran President "Ibeenanutjob" would like him? Or it's a joke: scoffing. Because as a lapsed conservative bought off by the shock and awe of cool wars overseas, you WANT more liberal WARFARE programs: obviously not giving a God DAMN about whose sons are going to pay the ultimate price for it.

If there is proof that Iran is on the brink of wielding a nuclear bomb against us, then present that information to the U.S. Congress, and ask for a declaration of war - OTHERWISE, SHUT THE SHIT HOLE UP.

Take this to heart: patriots fight when our cause is JUST - then conquer we must: and this be our motto, IN GOD IS OUR TRUST - note, that's not the same thing as a GOD DAMNED lie to manipulate a wag-the-dog invasion for oil robber barons and to cover up the U.S./West German stockpiling of chemical weapons in Iraq.
