Tancredo speaks the truth on Islam.

He sure doesn't sugarcoat it.

Where’s Hunter? Being boxed out?

But looking at the few questions asked of him, they were very good responses. Especially the one on China.

I said on an earlier post that I’d support any of these candidates. Scratch Ron Paul.
I didn’t realize we had a Noam Chomsky in our party!

Of course I do...and, you know it.

What you won't admit is that if the pro any gun, anywhere, anytime group affects this election....Republicans/ Conservatives are done.

Deal with it.

Not sure. Perhaps mandatory drug testing should be required for the voters in CD 14 over in Brazoria County.

Screw the whole world image thing Sen McLame...if it saves lives of innocent U.S. citizens...do what it takes to get the info we need.

I disagree.... But I do agree that we should be in the business of Nation building. That puts more nations against us then for us first off. Just think how you think people would respond if China or some other country started doing it? I am sure most of us would not like it.

Do you disagree with his point that US Congress should have declared an all out war with Iraq instead of taking the Vietnam route?

I think the Rules of Engagement in Iraq are absurd. Our guys cannot shoot back unless first shot at.. See this is where Vietnam and Iraq are similar. We have to win this war WWII style. This same silly tactics we used in Vietnam and look at the end results.

War is a terrible thing, but I understand its necessary. When we go into war we should not tie our troops hands with silly rules that ends up getting our guys killed. Fight it the way we fought Germany and Japan in WWII. What I mean by that is don’t hold back because of political cowardliness.

And, Ron Paul just gave Giuliani a huge bump in credibility with those “let’s try to understand the terrorists and give them what they want so they’ll leave us alone - let’s play nice” - bah. And Giuliani gets the applause line as a result. Not something I particularly wanted to happen. Way to go, Ron Paul.

Romney talks about preventive....

Nice, but terrorists can still attack.


Good comment to keep them in Gitmo, not in a US prison.

I agree. Besides being right, the pro-2nd Amendment position is a political winner nationwide. Just ask the President.

My training is as a lawyer. When people talk about criminalizing something, I want to know how they expect to mete the criminal punishment. It’s an entirely fair and legitimate question.

That some folks avoid it, or obfuscate, speaks volumes for how well they have really thought this through.

Rom Paul pretty much admitted that supporting Israel is what caused 9/11. We did that during the Cold War, and it was an issue of communism then. Where was Ron Paul on communism?
