He does this on every thread. Just another Paul sheep going baaa baaaa baaaa with talking points, ignoring everything that was said before... baaaa you hate freedom.. baaaa Paul wrote the Constitution... baaaa if you don’t love Alex Jones you are a slave... baaaa I win the debate.
Who decides what is in our interest ?
Our Founders said we only go to war with a Congressional Declaration.
I said no because I believe, depending on the circumstances, an engagement authorized by Congress is sufficient. In other actions, quick or secret action needs to be taken.
1. That's why we have elections to vote for those who have those values, not to play moral equivalency games.
2. I see you subscribe to Paul's edited version of the Constitution. Congress can call for the use of military force for more than just a formal declaration of war. Article 1, Section 8 gives three ways military force can be used. 1. Is, of course, a formal declaration of war. 2. Is suppressing insurrections and rebellions. 3. Is punishing piracy and offenses against the laws of nations.
Paul constantly says Iraq and Afghanistan are 'Unconstitutional' because they only have an 'authorization to use force' versus a 'declaration of war' (funny considering he voted yes for the Afghanistan conflict). However, both of those fall under instance 3 stated above. As the conflicts are greater than a nation versus nation battle and the reasons (using Iraq for example) fall under offenses against the laws of nations such as breaching peace treaties, attempted assassination of a former president, firing on our aircraft, funding terrorist and criminal elements, etc- the Authorization to Use Force is a Constitutional use of the military in that manner and it did go through Congress as required.
“I said no because I believe, depending on the circumstances, an engagement authorized by Congress is sufficient”
I wonder where in Paul’s Constitution does it authorize him to assign an unelected committee to oversee the gutting of the military? (using George Soros’ people too..)

I do.
See #44, the Constitution gives Congress the power to use the military for more than just a ‘formal declaration of war’.
The authorization to use force was also legal under Article 1 Section 8 (and if not, then Paul has some explaining to do as he voted for it w/ Afghanistan).
The democrats couldn't get to the mike fast enough to give Bush the go ahead. That lasted for a couple of weeks before they said " This war is lost" jackass Reid democrat...
Sorry see #45
Plus can you imagine having to listen to him when he gives the State of the Union Address with his cartoon mouse-like voice?
One of the problems with the Run Paul supporters is that they basically are not honest. They’ll bad mouth Rush, Hannity, Republicans, Newt, Romney, Santourum, Perry, Bachmann, etc., and others to try to get Run Paul the Republican nomination. But Run Paul is not a Republican, and he’s not a Conservative. He’s situationally portraying himself as both. His interest are in his own weird brand of dumbed down Ayn Randianism, which she’d never support. He’s been in and out of the Republican Party and would leave again if not for the fact that it’d hurt his son in any future political ambitions. We just need to learn to laugh at these frauds.

Thanks. I don't recall ever before hearing side B.
I’m thinking he’s senile too (probably wets the bed), but his cult members cling to him like the Obama robots. Paul will be drooling soon (maybe before the nomination is over), and the average dopey follower thinks he’s capable of being the president. He has succeeded at nothing since he’s been a congressman, but they somehow think the dizzy old nuts a whiz.
That annoying little dog who keeps trying to hump your leg at parties to get some attention..?
That's Hannity.
heh heh heh .... Good one!
