Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) took a shot at Dick Cheney last night, saying the former Vice President wasn't in any position to be criticizing President Obama.
"Well, I think he had his eight years and he's caused a lot of trouble for our country and he perpetuated a war in Iraq that was unnecessary and wrong-headed," Paul said of Cheney on CNN's Larry King Live. "So I would say that it would be best he not be so critical right now."

So you are saying that Ron Paul was right when he proposed a bill supporting prompt deportation from the US of illegal aliens and Dick Cheney was wrong when he said that it is impractical to round up and deport 12 million illegals?
Well darn Mr or Mrs Mod, I was looking forward to hear Kells response.
Well, if the ghost of Kells is lurking, it was Ron Paul who said it was impractical to round up and deport 12 million illegals (2007 GOP Presidential Forum at Morgan State University Sep 27, 2007) and it was Cheney who proposed a bill supporting prompt deportation from the US of illegal aliens (H.CON.RES.405)
RuPaul is a mess
Oh good God, man... get over yourself. Someone asked a question seemingly about “neocons”, I answered it.
I didn’t follow the string back to your original post. Oh well. Whatever you think that makes me, I’m pretty sure I can live with it.
“no Jewish kids are being blow up on their school buses and in nightclubs”
You make a good point - those bombings have been way down since the saddam regime was removed.
“The Paul/Cheney dynamic is the fight at the core of Republican Party, is the GOP Libertarian/Nationalism or is it WoT/Globalism”
No, that’s not the dichotomy.
War on terror does not equal “globalism”. Neither does libertarian equal nationalism.
I hadn’t thought about it, but you all are right. If you look at the trend of news stories of “Israel +bombing” the stories spiked about 2001 but has fallen off since to their mid 90s levels.

Similar trend for “Israel +terrorism”

Also, when looking at that, take into consideration the increase in the number of news outlets that Google tracks and it is pretty obvious that there is a downward trend since Saddam was disposed.
I agree - America does not have a stomach for protracted war
grow up -
Who let out the Jack-in-the-box???
I’m not Jewish. But I am a Zionist.
Is to me, which GOP is it?
the pro RTKBA, low taxation pro religion GOP?
or the pro Internationalist GOP?
The DC GOP tossed their blue collar demographic overboard awhile ago, they ran DC for 2 yrs and no significant increase in religious expression occured, we do have 2 wars and a huge trade deficit though...
What I hear is more attacks, without engaging a thing I said.
“no significant increase in religious expression”?
Just when I was thinking of giving Ron Paul a second look.
Pathetically dumb move, Ron.
Ron Paul can suck eggs, freakin’ little whacko. He’s the Dennis Kucinich of the Republican party.
So for all you Ron Paul supporters...how do ya like him now?
Ron Paul: wrong on foreign policy
wrong on terrorism
wrong for America
While Paul has a few good ideas, it does not excuse stupidity like this. He isn’t even in the same league as Dick Cheney. It’s like a guy from the dirt team on a third world lot criticizing a Big Leaguer.
RP you’re not all that.
A typical response from a child for Ron Paul, the anti war
NeoLeftist.
It does me a lot of good to hear Cheny re establish a functional base line for securing the Republic. No one else is doing it.
If you need to cower and double think that, maybe you do not know what we are facing, or perhaps you like the RINOplasty too much.
