Can’t argue with that. That’s why no one is answering his post.

I think you’re a constitutional conservative, as am I, but I don’t dig your candidate because he’s just flat out wrong on defense if he thinks that we leave the terrorists alone so they leave us alone. The constitution puts the president in Commander in Chief of the military, and congress voted for the war when they voted for the funding. I think he would REALLY help his candidacy if he said “I will seek a declaration of war from Congress in order to align with the constitution”, rather than “It’s unconstitutional so I’m outa here, to hell with the consequences!” That’s my big beef with Ron Paul.

If we’re talking about saving the country, a few good nukes is all it takes before the question of limited government becomes moot.

In fact, Congressman Paul did that at the very beginning. I believe it was about the time the AUMF was being debated. His fellow Congressmen acted as if the idea was ridiculous.
