by Andrew Kirell | 11:33 am, April 7th, 2015
On Monday morning, Fox & Friends held a lively debate between Brad and Dallas Woodhouse, the modern (and very much bloodless) political equivalent of Civil War brother against brother battles.
Brad is a Democratic consultant and the head of American Bridge PAC; Dallas is a Republican strategist and founder of Carolina Rising. The siblings once reached minor fame when they were interrupted by a phone call from their mother during their dramatic C-SPAN battle.
For their joint Monday morning Fox appearance, the pair debated this very Fox & Friendsian question: Which GOP contender has the Democrats most afraid? And when the subject turned to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) seen by GOP foreign policy hawks as too non-interventionist heres what Republican Woodhouse had to say:
Paul's sort of worldview may not be fitting the world as a lot of people see it right now. Hes got to prove in my opinion, Rand Pauls got to prove that he will nuke a Muslim country if we have to. Im not saying we should. But Im saying we will do that if it takes saving America and that theres no doubt that he will do what it takes to protect America.

(29,503 posts)5. So when and where did Dallas Woodhouse serve?
Or did he not? I'd guess the latter, since he sounds like most GOP chickenhawks who get out of serving either by making up medical issues they don't have, pulling strings, or whatever it is - but actually SERVE, no, they don't.
So sure, it's easy to play chess with the lives of our American boys and girls in uniform when you never had to take that risk yourself and nobody you know and love will have to.
