If it is a matter of national security, then the President acts to protect the country. He does not call his lawyer first to get permission.
#####
If it is a question of bombing or invading another country, a President does not tell the world on an afternoon debate what he is going to do.

Has nothing to do with the vote. I just thought that Fred did not look like himself.

So you don’t like a Viet nam war vet as Hunter.
So you don’t like a son on his third tour in the war as Hunter.
Sorry you hate the military

Chrissy leading the Rep debate - when will the dems let Anne run theirs? The Dems stood up to FOX and refused to debate on their network.
The GOP does not have the courage to stand up to the media.

I liked Tancredo’s answer.
They should have asked Giuliani the same question. He might end up supporting Hillary if he loses the nomination.

Rude’s right though. Everyone’s mimicking us, including former terrorist/dark ages states like Pakistan.

The lawyer answer was terrible. You're right but not because of that. The Pres is the 'Buck Stops Here' guy no matter who he talks to before he decides. The Debates are partly to see how the candidate might make decisions and how well he can take the heat. Lawyers don't know anything special and the Judge still has to decide.

It is time for the Ron Paul cowards to find their own website. I tire of these children. This site supports the war on terror....period.

After reading this thread, fluff seems to be the one true thing that matters. Most FReepers posting on this thread don’t want a conservative. They want a handsome, photogenic, and glib politician.
