I see our war in the ME against Islamic fascism as a retaliatory war. We didn't start this. They did. None of the evidence I've seen to date, and I've seen a lot, leads me to any other conclusion. We either go there and destroy them, or we WILL get hit again here.
I don't like the way the war is being fought, but it still needs to be fought. Duncan, IMO, is the best man for the job.
Duncan Hunter was the first candidate to officially declare his presidential run.
Where was the support from grassroots conservatives then? Why did conservatives fall for the self-fulfilling prophecy that he "couldn't win" and waited around for Fred Thompson? Paul was also a Congresscritter with no name recognition. Could it be he got more support because more Americans are opposed to the war than what FR wants to believe?

DC, we retaliated. We all stood together after 9/11 and wanted heads on pikes. Our troops killed thousands of terrorists, collapsed AQ & the Taliban, and restored hope to Iraq and Afghanistan. How does remaining there help us here at home? We've been in the Middle East for six years now. If the "course" couldn't be completed within that time frame, what makes you think it'll be complete if we keep staying on it?

I agree with you on Duncan Hunter. But you got regular joes starting to oppose the war now. My ultimate goal is to see Hillary defeated, and running on the war just isn't going to work.
What I'm trying to say is that the GOP is in some serious horse dookie right now. GOP primary voters may not vote for Paul, but his supporters won't vote for the GOP nominee in the general election. Paul won't run 3rd party but his supporters are going to fricking write his name in and swing the election over to Hillary. If the GOP wants to retain the WH, they better snap out of it and start reaching out to Paul.
