I agree on Mitt. While I like Tancredo he stammers and is not a great speaker. I tought Brownback and Hunter were much better in that regard. Paul is a dingbat. He would not pardon Libby because he was in an administration that got us into Iraq?? What kind of logic is that?
That sounded a bit like DU logic to me. Negative points for that answer. pfffffffffffft.
“He would not pardon Libby because he was in an administration that got us into Iraq?? What kind of logic is that?”
I couldn’t record it because the wife was watching a recording of that dance with the stars thing she had planned to watch tonight. Did Paul actually say he wouldn’t pardon him under any circumstance?
Or that it would be difficult since Libby was a part of (in his opinion) the deception that lead to the invasion of Iraq?
I am one of those Americans who believes that the WOT leads to SA. Afterall, 15 of the 19 hijackers were from SA. None were from Iraq. That aside, now that we are in Iraq, terrorists are coming to Iraq in droves to defeat us. I believe under this circumstance, we must be victorious in Iraq. Anything less will be a victory for terrorism.
Ron Paul adheres to the Constitution. Therefore, Congress must declare war before we go off to war. As you know, in this case, congress only authorized the war, and did not declare war against Iraq. This is the problem for the President today.
Had he sought a declaration of war against Iraq, and not some ambiguous authorization for war, he would not be in the position he is today with Reid and Pelosi up his arse.
And yes, Ron Paul too, but Ron Paul opposes for another motive not in any way associated with Reid and Pelosi. ie, his faithful adherence to the Constitution. I understand and appreciate that. Since I too believe that we should only send our troops to war upon a declaration of war as required by the Constitution.
Ron Paul should accept the initial violation as beyond his control, to move forward now to insure our success in Iraq against terrorism. At the same time, he should and will obviously continue his undying support for our Constitution that future wars be fought with a declaration of war from congress as is required by our Constitution.
