"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton

 

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

 

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792

 

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

 

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Rand Paul: blah blah blah.

His act sure grew old fast.

BTW no ground troops, but we most certainly should choose sides.

He is right we should not choose sides.

We should destroy every one that opposes us.

Agree, especially if one of those sides is a threat to us and considers itself at war with us.

This isn’t a damn civil war...any more than if a bunch of radical canadians came down here and started murdering and torturing our citizens. Rand sure turned out to be a worthless turd.

The sane guy in me thinks that these Muslims must be left alone to kill each other off.

The impatient guy in me wants these bearded savages be exterminated as quickly as possible.

The only reason the middle east is more unstable is that Obama pulled the troops out.

Because of Bush we had a presence right next to Iran and close to Afghanistan and Obama blew it.

Rand Paul is nuts.

The only people who are worth leaving alive in the region are the Kurds, who have many Christians and Jews among their numbers. We should only hold back on destroying ISIS, Syria, and Iraq if we damage natural resources that we could use. Otherwise, let the firebombs fly!

Don’t understand how he gets to be a front runner. He’s not getting the conservative endorsement, you really go no where without it.
He’s more of a joke around here than mittens

“Obama has made mistakes, but so did Bush by invading”

The fact that Iraq was pacified and Americans died accomplishing the pacification nullifies the mistake of invading Iraq, if it was a mistake. Their sacrifice was counted as nothing by Obama when he removed all troops. I don’t know how to resolve the situation, but I do know that Obama completely mishandled it from the beginning.

Wacky is not the word for it- either incompetent or lying is more the case.

We are not seeing a civil war in Iraq, we are seeing an invasion of Iraq by a transnational Jihaidi army of psychopathic, homicidal misfits who have become Al- Qaeda irregulars recruited from all over the world.

Very few of the ISIS embers are from Iraq and those that are are the Saddam dead enders who were part of the terror insurgency and who we ran out of Iraq.
