Straw Poll Reinstates Ron PaulPajamasMedia.com removed Ron Paul due to *alleged* spamming (more like Ron Paul has a large internet following) a few weeks ago. When accused of political bias the site-managers claimed they were now only putting up candidates with 1+% in the Gallup Poll. Well guess what, this week Ron Paul got 1% so he's back into the poll. NOW VOTE (Don't Spam)
Liar. By your willingness to openly employ slanders which you know to be false, I'm guessing that you're not a Christian.
Well, to set the record straight against your UnChristian Lies: Ron Paul supported the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force against those nations which harbored the 9/11 Hijackers.
Voted for Ron Paul.
Actually, in National Polling, Ron Paul is now well above 1% -- and rising:
I'm voting for former Vietnam Combat Flight Surgeon, and Leader of Ronald Reagan's Electoral Delegation from Texas: In 2008, I'm Voting for RON PAUL! |
Accfording to the 2002 State of the Union Address, the Federal Government MUST NOT provide Military and Financial Support to Governments which harbor terrorists.
I'm voting for the only Republican Candidate who wants to end Military and Financial support to the Al-Dawa Shi'ite Terrorist Thug-Regime of Iraq, self-confessed and even convicted murderers of US Marines and Civilians.
No they don't. Matter of fact, you know full well that they don't.
You're no "truth-seeker". When the rubber meets the road, you enjoy Bearing False Witness.
Done.
Your work, dAnconia?
I didn't know Ron Paul was a favorite of religious nuts. I'm not a Christian at all so I guess he doesn't want my vote.
Exactly why a Republican website wouldn't have his name on the poll for so long. Of course they complained about 'cheating', stacking the deck, etc. because God forbid there be conservatives out there that actually want limited government and not intervening in the internal affairs of other nations. Good to see it's back
Ron Paul would be happy to have your vote, I'm sure.
I just don't like it when people tell lies about him, that's all.
Done.
It all comes back to this - if the faltering Iraqi state is allowed to collapse, we will have another 9/11. To retreat to within our borders would make things more dangerous for us now.
The desperate straits in which we find ourselves in Iraq are the main reason why I am a Giuliani guy. Giuliani took a city that was about to collapse into bankruptcy and into criminal anarchy, and made NYC a pleasant place to be. That's the kind of leadership we need for Iraq.
Of course, you'll never agree with me on this, because you are a libertarian and I am a moderate. But that's okay... we're still friends....
"Who's this Paul Ron guy some people keep talking about?"
His beliefs are summed up pretty well here:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1779543/posts
The Wahhabist Sunnis of Al Queda HATE the Shi'ites and consider them to be "heretic polytheists" worthy of death. What makes you think that SCIRI and Al-Dawa will "allow al Queda to take up residence" in Iraq? Far more likely is that they will kill eachother with robust vigor.
And when I see Sunni Terrorists and Shi'ite Terrorists killing eachother, I don't see it as a cause for panic. More like a cause for beer and peanuts.

So send him to Iraq!
We certainly do NOT need more authoritarian Big Government here in the USA! Whatever may have worked in New York City, Giuliani's pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-gun policies are not welcome here in Oklahoma, nor most of the other States.

That we are.
Unfortunately, Sunni terrorists are killing Shi'ite civilians, and Shi'ite terrorists are retaliating by killing Sunni civilians, so Sunni terrorists retaliate by....
Now, I partly agree with you. I'm tired of the Iraq war, if it were just about Iraqis killing each other in a civil war, I'd say "Enough already, it's time to go." But the stakes are far higher. The clash between Sunni and Shi'ite is quite similar to the clash between the Taliban and the Northern Alliance. If the Iraqi state collapses, Islamist fundamentalists will take up residence there. We do not need another 2001 Afghanistan.
The Wahhabist Sunnis of Al Queda
This insurgency is extremely complicated. There are Sunni Wahabis, but most of them are foreign al Queda zealots. Due to the brutality of al Zawquari, al Queda has little popular support in Iraq. The bulk of the Sunni insurgency are either disinfranchised Baathists who are nationalistically, not religiously, motivated, or are also indigenous Sunni Salafi Islamists (which are a fundamentalistic movement within Islam, distinct but similar to Wahabbism.).
I am deeply concerned that Rep. Paul would withdraw us from Iraq. Whether or not we should have gone into Iraq in the first place is irrelvent, we cannot afford to allow Iraq to collapse. It may be ruled by SCIRI, but SCIRI will not allow al Queda to take up residence like the Taliban did. It all comes back to this - if the faltering Iraqi state is allowed to collapse, we will have another 9/11. To retreat to within our borders would make things more dangerous for us now.

Agree to disagree. My viewpoint is that the war trumps these other issues (and abortion is a non-issue, until the Supreme Court decides otherwise - which will never happen), so finding a "fixer" who can turn around the war is job #1. That is Giuliani.
They already have: SCIRI and Al Dawa.
I do not consider either SCIRI or Al Dawa to necessarily be less dangerous than Al Queda -- for example, the horrific US Marine bombing in Beirut and the US Embassy bombing in Kuwait were linked to Al Dawa, not Al Queda.
Ergo, I'm rooting for them to both lose -- and do not think that the Federal Government should provide Military and Financial support to either. There's no such thing as a "good" terrorist.
Voted in the poll, but I think the votes I made with my wallet to Ron's campaign will be more effective...
After decades of law practice, let me tell you that truth is a complete defense to any claim of defamation, that written defamation is libel and not slander and that truth is therefore neither libel nor slander.
I am also not in the business of giving "constitutionalist" or political cover to the Islamofascisti in time of war. I stand by and reiterate what I have said as to Paul and as to Jones because it is truth. You will not convince me otherwise.
You and I are in agreement on many matters from what I have seen of your posts despite our obvious disagreements over the reformation, over Jean Cauvin and now over Ron Paul.
Is Paul not a libertarian? If not, why was he their presidential candidate in 1988 (in effect assisting Dukakis in the two-party race for president)?
John Murtha is certainly a treasonous anti-American weasel in veteran's drag, plotting openly the defunding of the troops whom he dishonestly claims to support. Is he not?
Without funding (and not conditional time-limited, defeat-guaranteeing limitation-ridden, pork-infested funding, at that), there will be no other posture available but fleeing for yet anther generation of miltary personnel. True? I personally will NEVER forgive the now cowardly anti-American Demonrat Party of my ancestors (patriots not pacifist wimps) fore stabbing America and its troops in the back and condemning Vietnam to communist slavery by behaving as Paul and Jones behave today in concert with Demonrat anti-Americans. Any problem with that? Specifics, please!
What has Paul done for our troops lately other than try to cut the legs out from under them. Hillary voted for that resolution you menbtioned. So did Traitor John Kerry, Traitor John Murtha and most Demonrat leadership.
Personally, I suspect that, in spite of your opinions on this, and the differences between your faith and mie, that you are a Christian, a misguided Christian but a Christian. Whatever you may imagine, I know that I am a Christian.
If we are going to have a fight about theology, it will be your doing. I swore off such fights several years ago except in defense of myself and in response to specific attacks on Roman Catholicism. I normally leave Presbyterianism to you and other memebers of that faith and fire my guns at SSPX schismatics for claiming to be Catholic when they have been expelled from my Church. I would like to avoid unnecessary offense to my reformed brothers and sisters, concentrating on our broad areas of agreement on matters political rather than our limited differences. Obviously, you and I disagree on Ron Paul. Let's not pretend that our disagreement has anything whatsoever with your religion or mine.
In spite of it all, God bless you and yours!
