Shows exactly what a joke CPAC has become.
>The Young Americans for Freedom, the grandaddy of conservative youth groups, tossed Ron Paul from their advisory board for his crackpot foreign policy stands.<
Those kids from YAF have more sense than the so-called adults at CFAG.
Shows exactly what a JOKE the STRAW POLL is.
True, but its fun to watch them foam at the mouth, tear their hair out, and rend their garments.
Of course, it would have been deadly serious had your candidate won the poll. The sore losers are out in force!
LOL!
It’s true. They do those things because they can’t actually smite you. But they would if they could!
I listened to his CPAC speech. That’s the Paul-lite version. Most of the time he sounds pure anti-war.
Paul gracefully danced around the Islamist issue, which is similar to the Marxist issue of the Cold War, the Nazis/Facists/Imperialists of WWII, and farther back. Even Jefferson went after the Barbary pirates.
Then there’s China, Russia, North Korea. One is rogue, two have grand imperialist designs. We also have allies like Poland, the Czechs, India that we can’t leave to stand alone.
Yes, we need to disengage in a number of areas and bring our boys home. But not everywhere. Paul in my opinion wants us to pull within ourselves and let the rest of the world duke it out themselves, under the assumption they’ll leave us alone. They won’t, and Paul has no ability to deal with that prospect. Sometimes you have to take the fight to them.
yes, Paul will never get elected...too wimpy.
“Shows exactly what a joke CPAC has become.”
Exactly. I can see why some people avoided CPAC. To many loonies at the Convention.
Paul is an interesting speaker, so is Bill Cosby and was Art Linkletter, but they are OLD and we are not electing old guys, since Reagan. We are not even electing, for President, people who have been on the national stage for long - Klinton, GWB and now “the one.” What are the odds on a Paul presidency?
Pretty low but there isn’t much of an alternative.
Yes, CPAC is NOT representative of anything
No 80 year old presidents please. The idea of McCain doddering around was bad enouigh.
If the Congress actually handed a President Paul a Declaration of War you would see how wrong you are. The enemy would be obliterated until total surrender. if there were any left to surrender.
There would be no Namby Pamby NWO Nation Building. Just Nation Destroying. That is what our Military is supposed to do.The current policies are destroying our nation if you had not noticed.
I remember seeing a photo of Paul and CODE PINK outide of WRIGHT PATTERSON AFB during a protest there. I have to admit the Paulbots are good, as after a day of searching, I cannot find that pic on the web, anywhere.
Glad to see that some of the "Repubicans" are finally waking up...
Maybe so. Find one candidate that is truly willing to cut spending and respect the Constitution. Just name one. BTW did you see the video, hard to argue against it.
