If the GOP loses the election of 2008 which I doubt, the Demonrats can pay the price for the surrender policy and the GOP will castrate the Demonrats in 2010 as we did in 1994. The GOP can probably prevent Demonrat babykilling and faggot-coddling SCOTUS nominations for two years. That's the worst case scenario. More likely, we win the election as we win the war (which is now the reality on the ground).
Your proposal to stop bothering the poor Muzzies and to leave them alone and to (essentially) surrender to them does absolutely nothing. Quelle surprise! You support the candidate who proposes to do absolutely nothing about just about everything on his flimsy excuse of faux "constitutionalism."
BTW, my generation killed the draft and freed the military from having to depend on leftist wussies or paleowussies involuntarily grumbling their self-centered whiny way through two years of service. Who needs such trash polluting the military??? Heinlein was a libertarian but he understood this very well.
The draft ain't coming back. We may have to really pay soldiers well and we should pay them well enough in many ways to avoid the use of National Guard and Reserves in wars. Many of those guys are getting long in the tooth and cannot economically afford to serve in the middle of their economic lives when they have mortgages and businesses. Send the young and pay them whatever it takes in pay, perks and education and tax preferences or whatever. We also need to recognize the military as our nation's genuine heroes and contrast that by despising the wimpy antiwar, antimilitary, antiAmerican traitors of ALL political persuasions and crushing with unrestrained vengeance their weasely political mouthpieces like Dr. Demento.
Renewable energy and other alternative sources need no gummint subsidies when they become cheaper than imported oil which is what you suggested was the future course of oil prices. Early personal computers were very expensive. Once the technology was established, the product got better and better and cheaper and cheaper year after year after..... Paul will do nothing because he wants to do nothing and because he won't be in office to do anything. He is roadkill as he ought to be.
No shield necessary for Israel because of prevailing winds that will carry (if need be) Islamofasciststan's nuked remains eastward and away from Israel.
As to buying a frickin' clue, wasn't that you who first supported Julie Annie and now supports Dr. Demento???
It's the MAJORITY of Americans that oppose the war, not just leftist moonbats who only oppose the war for leftist reasons. There are real people who want the war to end. That is reality and that is a fact. That is why Obama and Hillary have raised $100 million apiece last year compared to the GOP candidate's chump change. That is PARTLY why the GOP lost the mid-terms in 2006. If the Republican candidates besides Paul do not start making drastic foreign policy changes, they are going to lose.

I hate to break wind to you bub, but the Democrats aren't committed to troop withdrawals either. They're going to continue the war as well and blame whatever consequences of it on "Bush/Cheney" policies. The war is going to continue regardless who is elected besides Paul. But there is the perception among people that the Democrats will end the war but they won't, and even if it did, they will continue with the interventionist foreign policy that is bankrupting our country.

Republicans END & WIN wars, not PROLONG them. If the job couldn't get done in six years, then it's time to get off the pot. Iraq is a sovereign nation - just what are we "surrendering?" The last time I looked, they're not a state or territory of these United States.
You and the majority of the posters of FR CLEARLY DO NOT GET IT. The Republican Party is in a tailspin because it has abandoned all of its traditions and conservative heritage. The one candidate who is bringing it all back is routinely trashed and belittled. Now, explain to me how will the GOP win the general election with a fractured base and supporters who are fervent about their candidate, and will write him in or encourage him to go 3rd party regardless who is the GOP nominee.
