It was one of the items that added to the legality and helped bring other nations on board. It also allowed another piece to fit into the Constitutionality of the invasion (Article 1, Section 8, Subsection 10- authorizes Congress to 'define and punish offenses against the laws of nations.')
In other words, we oppose the UN controlling us, but there is nothing stopping us from using them as a tool.

“I am suprised at all the hate and hostility directed at him.
Its not normal.”
Listen to what he says. It’s worse than Hitlery, and he’s a republican!!?? It’s baffling that he’s still in the race on the republican ticket and there’s still a lot or republicans supporting him. Hence the hatred.
I just can’t imagine why any republican would vote for the same guy OBL would vote for.

You can’t. Fred doesn’t actually agree with Soros in any way...
RP agrees with and seems to relish in the support from the left...

Rep. Ron Paul charged the U.S. has "dug a hole for [itself]" in Iraq,
Cut and run should be happy. Now he will not have to dig the hole to put his head in.

Why have people going around thinking you are a blithering idiot, when you can go out to a college campus, give a speech and prove it.

We are still members of the body and indeed hold a key leadership role. This is one time we used the UN to support our position to some extent, which is not the same as them lording over us.
Of course if you have further issues I would take it up with Jim, I am just following the lead he set out here, one I support...

Ron Paul was against the invasion of Iraq when Hillary, Biden, Dodd, Edwards, et. al were for it
Unlike the Democrats, he’s not changed his views at all and he’s obviously not trying to tailor his views to fit what’s popular...that’s why I respect the guy

You actually equate CFR membership with 9/11 kook conspiracies?
That is a huge and hilarious leap in logic.
So being on Alex Jones show 3 months ago makes him less of a kook than if he appeared on Alex Jones show last week?

Good question. Who did Lyndon LaRouche take votes away from? I’d look there.

Wasn't one of the justifications for the Iraq War to "enforce UN Security Council" resolutions?I believe you're correct.

"...hes obviously not trying to tailor his views to fit whats popular..." Those words better describe George W. Bush, and not that coward and "blame America" wacko Ron Paul.

The question I have is whether a Paul 3d party candidacy would take more away from the GOP nominee or from Hillary.
There is no doubt in my mind it would take much more away from Hillary. All the appeasers and cowards belong to the democratic party, and those are the only people he will get any votes from. Who else would vote for a white flag waving anti-American?

Gee, wonder why he is polling under 2%?? This is just the latest clinton Chinese Mafia counter Republican campaign. Divide and conquer.

Ron Paul or anyone on his campaign would have known that just by checking in on his website at any time over the past couple of years.

To: ejonesie22
You cant. Fred doesnt actually agree with Soros in any way...Uh huh, and I've yet to see where Ron Paul agrees with Alex Jones about any of the Truther nonsense.
RP agrees with and seems to relish in the support from the left...
RP agrees with support from the left? I'm sure any presidential candidate would agree with getting as much support as possible.
Remember the Reagan democrats?
If you're saying that Ron Paul agrees with the political doctrines of the left then you'll need to provide actual evidence and not just your say so.

I believe that we have the right to defend the US from outside threats, but it is bothersome to me that our leaders used the UN resolutions, (that were as worthless as the paper they were written on), to justify our actions.

paul is a traitor promoting isolationist suicide.
