How positively . . . frothy . . . you are.

[Sam Gamgee]

No - that’s what R Paul SAID.

[DreamsofPolycarp]

Actually, not it is not.

[Sam Gamgee]

I actually agree with you. I could care less about bringing democracy to Afghanistan and Iraq - I just want to kill Al Queda, the Taliban and the foreign fighters. But that is NOT what I got from what R Paul said. He said he was anti-war. He then said we should TALK to Al Queda, not destroy it. If R Paul comes out and says that he believes we should reign hell on our Islamist enemies, I will stand up and cheer.

[DreamsofPolycarp]

How positively . . . frothy . . . you are.

"frothy," huh? That could reference any number of characteristics. I do get awfully tired of seeing something I worked in my whole life (the conservative movement) get hijacked by a bunch of Wilsonian neocon dingleberries who will sell out freedom, liberty, limited government, fiscal stability and literally everything that makes our culture surviving WORTH surviving as a culture..., all for some amorphous "war on terror." They are fascists (patriotic statists), and the worst part is that they are dunderheaded fascists, who because they have hijacked the conservative movement and jerked it into a bunch of nationalist military interventionists, think they are the true descendents and keepers of liberty.

bullhockey. You are either lying or clueless. Take your pick.

[AmishDude]

GET THIS STRAIGHT, YOU BUSHBOTS!!! THE DIFFERENCE IS, AFTER WE KILL THE ONES RESPONSIBLE, WE COME HOME.

And then what?

[Petronski]

I recommend decaf.

[tpaine]

It puzzles me, - why are you so adamant about supporting Rudy's mis-characterization of Paul?

Paul is first & foremost a constitutionalist. His isolationist opinions do not make him evil, just misguided.

[DreamsofPolycarp]

And then what?

We mind our own business?

[AmishDude]

We mind our own business?

And that's it? Are we allowed to publish Mohammed cartoons? Are we allowed to make anti-Muslim films?

[Sam Gamgee]

He did say it. Something to the effect that he was the only anti-war candidate.

[Sam Gamgee]

Rudy didn’t need to micharacterize Ron Paul:

He said: Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years,” he said.

There ya go - he blamed us.

[Sam Gamgee]

How will that protect us against Islamism.

[tpaine]

He did say it. Something to the effect --
- There ya go - he blamed us.

Sure or, - "something to that effect", aye?
Calm down Sam; - Paul is not the boogie man, he's simply a misguided isolationist.

[Pelham]

Have you ever seen or read Paul before the debate?

[BigTom85]

You never know. We still have over a yr until things really heats up. All we can do is stay tuned.

[LdSentinal]

Wow, you support an Al-Queda lover.

[Zack Nguyen]

But as I understand Congressman Paul’s position, he does not want to “do the job and get out.” He wants to just “get out”, whether our enemies are in Iraq and Afghanistan or not. Please correct me if I am wrong. Was Ron Paul in favor of either the invasion of Iraq or Afghanistan?

[dcwusmc]

He voted to go into Afghanistan but wanted a formal declaration of war instead of the “irresolution” we got from congress to go enforce the UN mandates... so we did not go to war with will to win and come home. We invaded with no clear purpose but to enforce the UN resolutions and depose Saddam. I guess, since Bush declared victory the day after we captured Saddam that we should have our folks home already.
