Fred was too busy kissing up to Hollywood and playing movie star to show up.
Fred was possibly the smartest one there. By not being there. What a disgraceful and undignified event by Fox News. What happened to "We Report, You Decide". Apparently it's become, "We Decide, You Have Another Beer And A Twinkie". It's not even lowbrow infotainment.
I like the way Ron Paul handled himself last night. He has some fire to him something this nation especially the GOP has not seen in many years.
The real high point was how he pointed the finger on terrorism in Iraq and on 9/11 and elsewhere around the world right toward the Saudis. As I remarked elsewhere, that caused a lot of squirming and nervousness among the brand-name establishment herd. Very dangerous for them, they had no idea of whether to agree or disagree. They might have stampeded off the stage if he'd asked them directly exactly what they thought of the Saudis and what they've done. Well, maybe not Tanc or Duncan. But even they were shocked, I think. There are several key U.S. allies that simply cannot be criticized for any reason. Ever. And the Saudis are one of them.

I would expect that kind of logic from DEMs but not the GOP. If we had done it right we owed Iraq nothing but smoldering ruins. That is war. But Iraq was the least of our M.E. worries and not the actual source of the 9/11 attacks. Yep it was the Sauds the very ones both Dems and Neo Cons kiss up to who bank rolled 9/11. We had more reasons to attack Yemen than Iraq yet an attack by Yemen went unanswered.
Ron Paul is right. Our Foreign Policy is insane and needs work. As for Israel I support her. I think Ron Paul realizes something others do not. Israel's existence is not dependent on man and any nation who stands against her will not prosper. Our foreign policy as of late has put us way too many times aiding and abetting her enemies. Israel if we step aside can handle herself quite well.
I liked I think it was Tancredo's comment maybe Hunter's about not ever allowing the hands of our troops to be tied in combat also. At least some are finally getting it.
