Article I Section 8...Congress shall have the power...TO DECLAR WAR

Note this everyone, the power to declare WAR, not the power to declare that we shall enforce UN resolutions, not the power to tell the President that he can attack anyone he feels is a terrorist or to attack anyone when he feels it is in US interests, but the power to DECLARE WAR and WAR only. The Constitution is a precise document, don’t fall into the new interpretation that tries to read ambiguity into silence. Silence is prohibition.

ROFL

Ah, the great RINO hope! Good luck with the invisible Fred.

And cutie-pie is a reference to Hannity, not you.

[txradioguy]

“How is Ron Paul on the 14th Amendment and illegal aliens?”

Better yet lets ask him how his support for Arab American Institute is Conservative or Constutinalist.

[patriciamary]

Rudy is not a liberal,that’s false,support who you want,but like it or not in today political climate ,with today’s public,who are not half as informed as many freepers Rudy is the only one with a chance to beat Hillary.

[WFTR]

I think Duncan Hunter did very well in the after-debate interview. That kind of appearance will be good for him.

[No Blue States]

[patriciaruth]

I wish he hadn’t said that about assault weapons.

ditto

[Shortstop7]

Rudy, McCain? Are you kidding me?

It’s got to be Thompson/Hunter or we are doomed.

[WFTR]

LOLOLOLOL

[txradioguy]

The Liberaltarians/Paul supporters think RINO Ron is MORE Conservative than Ronaldus magnus.

[sonic109]

We should defend ourselves and our interests and let the world take care of itself.
Ah ,if it were only that simple and black and white.

[patriciamary]

Like I said’ that was then this is now,a totally different political climate.

[Tennessee Nana]

The President can declare war for 90 days and then the Congress decide whether to continue or not...

[K-oneTexas]

That’s a RINO ticket at best. Just like a Kerry/McCain ticket before would in all instances be a Dem ticket.

[Tolsti]

that’s my dream team, fred/hunter. But Fred’s gotta get in the game like YESTERDAY. Now psst, right now!

[jwalsh07]

You’re the one backing the PC war—we’re tying our soldiers hands and charging them with war crimes when they’re defending our country.

Now, you're making it up as you go friend. I could be harsher in my judgement of the bs you just poated but I'll give it a pass this time.

[patriciamary]

Now wake up,this is the real world.

[TigersEye]

We did bring Perl Harbor onto ourselves because of our foreign policy. ... we cut off Japanese oil and iron shipments (which ensured war, Japan had no other oil access sufficient to supply its war machine).

And that justified Japan's attack on us? You are a kook. You have no understanding of cause and effect whatsoever.
