My post “He’s, actually, both.” was not supposed to mean he’s both Libertarian (L) and Republican (R) - that would be a neat trick - but was in response to “Idiot yes, but not RINO.”

His mind and heart is with Libertarian Party, which he does not deny - that makes him factually uniquely a Republican In Name Only. My response to the first part was my opinion.

[moose2004]

He’s a pure Libertarian.

Sometimes I wonder who controls who. Is it the democrat party that controls the liberal media or is it the liberal media that controls the democrat party?!

Considering they are all in bed with each other, does it really matter?

[avacado]

I noticed that to. I read it and was thinking, “what the hell is happening, who did what?” Very nice media spin indeed!

He is the kind of guy who could say (may have said) “no wars unless they are declared by Congress.” Sure, that is the Constitution.

He has said so, but it's semantic gymnastics on his part to cover his chickens**t non-interventionist stance. He's demanding specific language that is nowhere mandated in the Constitution and ignores the fact that the current authorization the President is working under is nearly identical to the language Congress used to authorize America's first foreign war -- against the Barbary Pirates, oddly enough, Muslim terrorists/pirates who were not a nation-state themselves, but who were accorded protection by actual nation-states.

Personally, I read it as saying that despite the fact that Democrats control the House, it was still defeated.

This is one of the best wars ever, and deserves to be the most popular

Believe me...wars are never popular...especially with the losers.

“He’s a libertarian -— lots of libertarians seem to be against the war.”

Its the “isolationist” ideology, or should I say idiotology - let the World take care of its own problems.

There hasn’t been a war yet that these people haven’t come out against our involvement, even WWII.

"This war is a terrible tragedy and it is time to bring it to an end," said Rep. James McGovern,

All wars are a "tragedy" moron. We didn't start this one remember?

[jackv]

And I really resent these pigs saying “our troops”. Nothing about my son is yours!!

[kevkrom]

There hasn’t been a war yet that these people haven’t come out against our involvement, even WWII.

Even against the Barbary Pirates, there was a "no blood for trade" contingent.

[Badeye]

Here’s hoping the President doesn’t allow this precedent setting nonsense get past him.

Veto til they stop it.

[FDNYRHEROES]

All those Democrat clowns in Congress can use any term they want to label the war in Iraq, but they will never call it an “abortion”. That much is assured.

Its the “isolationist” ideology. . . . Dr. Paul is not an isolationist, but his foreign policy is definitely non-interventionist - it's a common misconception but they are not the same. "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
