Geez, I consider myself (note lower case) a libertarian constitutionalist.

This guy isn't living in the reality of our time. It IS national defense to seek out and destroy threats. We can no longer protect our country by having repelling armies strictly inside our own borders.

[Core_Conservative]

I heartily disagree! We need to stay the course. It will help out in the future, pulling out will just be pulling a French!

[eastsider]

"We are bogged down in a bloody and expensive mess with no end in sight. If elected President, however, I would move immediately to end our involvement in Iraq. I am not one who believes that when you are in a hole you should not be in, you should keep digging."

Buh-bye.

[egarvue]

Oh great...another Paleo vs Neo conservative fight thread here at FR. Sit back and watch the insults fly. *sigh*

[rhombus]

To these people I usually say, "Fine you stay home and work on making the castle walls strong. Others will take the war to the enemy. Remember the Alamo. Let's not wait to be overwhelmed."

[Constitution Day]

Is this guy's VP pick still a Clymer?

[cynicom]

I despise people, regardless of their politics, when they say, "I like Bush, but"....

If they want to grind their own ax, by all means do so. Just spare us the hypocritical BS.

[thoughtomator]

Well, so much for the Constitution Party. If they can't figure out that this war needs to be fought, they've nothing to recommend themselves.

[Petronski]

As President, I would move immediately to withdraw all our troops from Iraq...

Good thing there's exactly ZERO chance of that happening.

My buddy's pet rabbit has the same chance of being elected President as this tool. Then again, that darn rabbit probably has a better policy on Iraq too.

[plain talk]

Even Neal Boortz can't go along with this mindless nonsense. The most important role of government is to defend the country. Without that, nothing else matters. Bush is defending the country against terrorism by going into Afghanistan and Iraq and getting at the root problem.

[TomGuy]

I have to disagree.

For us to pull out now (hopefully things will be much better by the Nov election), the terrorists would have another victory. Our future battles would be on American soil, in the homeland, in the heartland.

Remember, Somalia and Clinton's cut-and-run emboldened bin Laden and led greatly to 9-11-01.

Another cut and run would bring more atrocities on America.

---

What we do need to do is finish the war in Iraq before doing the diplomatic dipsy-doodle. We didn't finish the war; the Iraqi forces went into hiding in the civilian population.

If, after we hand over governmental control, we will see whether the Iraqi Council can maintain any order and control. If they can't, then we need to reevaluate our position.

[wjcsux]

This is real f*cking smart! Lets start from the beginning. In January 2005, the next POTUS is going to be either
A. John Kerry or
B. George W. Bush.
Which one do YOU WANT!?

[Maceman]

Living in Massachusetts, I have the luxury of voting for 3rd party candidates without increasing the likelihood of a Kerry victory. (He's going to carry Massachusetts no matter who I vote for).

I was planning on voting for the Constitutionalist Party. Guess I'll have to rethink that position now. This guy is completely out to lunch.

[Lady Heron]

I am so tired of these stupid 3rd parties. Waste of time. The only time a 3rd party will be viable is when the liberal wing of the Republican party takes over and we put up pro-choice candidates for president the Christian right then has a reason to walk in huge enough numbers(which many already did from the dem party).... You then can kiss this country down the toilet because the dems will have control for years to come with the conservatives split.

Most people realize that this country is a 2 party system and are very dubious of these 3rd parties that seem full of loons to begin with. They are not even a viable option to the mainstream.

[Corin Stormhands]

"In 1821, John Quincy Adams said, of America: 'She goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

Exactly. But Peroutka forgets that the monsters came to destroy us.

[hopespringseternal]

Moron alert. Third parties might do well if they didn't continually nominate whackjobs and crackpots nursing conspiracy theories and having no grasp at all of current events.

[Revolting cat!]

Sounds like a weiner! Don't take my word on it, but I think he's going to win in November! (Or is it a "she"? Sorry, I don't have time to read the article. (or is it a 'manifesto'?))

[Catspaw]

Just when I thought third parties couldn't get more marginalized, this guy comes along and proves me wrong.

[nina0113]

I had actually considered voting Constitution Party this fall - Bush is almost certain to carry Virginia, so I can afford to. If this nut's the best the CP's got to offer, they're worthless. Buh-bye.
