Bob Novak stopped by the Heritage Foundation today for a lunchtime discussion with conservative bloggers about his new professional autobiography, The Prince of Darkness. While he lamented the practice of reporters acting as opinion drivers and news analysts, Novak wasn't shy about offering a few opinions of his own. When asked to rate the current field of Republican presidential candidates, Novak didn't have any kind words for the current top-tier field of Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and John McCain.

Ron Paul is against CAFTA and WTO because they promote politically managed trade rather than free trade. Actually, he is a more radical free trader than Bush in this respect because, like his hero Bastiat, Paul is for unilateral free trade.
Fred Thompson? That guy, makes General McClellan look like Speedy Gonzales when it comes to making decisions.
I do acknowledge that. My question was rhetorical. Your post seemed to indicate that the Constitution ENCOURAGED the US to spread democracy.
Jeez.
Correct as usual, my neofasciast friend.
The only thing you've contributed to the discussion is photoshopped spam picts, and even the implication given is wrong.
Parody most often represents the truth.
Unless of course, the point asserted was wrong from the beginning, as is the case of the parody you've presented.
In this case, a Ron Paul President would strengthen the global outreach of the jihad, while Paul and his spineless supporters retreat.
Quite the opposite. The islamonazis would loose their only real propaganda point with their own people ("infidels" in the holy land). They'd have to and would revert to killing each other. No great loss that.
Then the Saudis would have to take care of their own problems instead of singing their favorite song "Onward Christian Soldiers" every time they get their b@ll$ stuck on the barbed wire.
Translation:
911 was America's fault.
Foolish, and suicidal thinking
In this country, private citizens, churches and civic organizations would take care of that.
You invite the federal government in, it's like killing gnats with a tank.
No translation needed Eric, it's in English. English is one of the 15-20 languages you speak, isn't it Eric?
"The islamonazis would loose their only real propaganda point with their own people ("infidels" in the holy land)."
What a dangerous and suicidal notion to give one rat's @ss about propaganda from 7th century barbarians.
Paulistinianism is a mental disorder.
Yeah, no sense asking the guy who is pissed off at you why he's pissed off at you. </sarcasm>
Buy a clue Eric.
I hear that holding hands with your enemy also helps.
Don't bring your purse to negotiate with these barbarians, you won't need any of it after surrendering to them.
Since nobody is advocating that, i'd have to take your word for it, as i haven't looked into the matter, and have no interest in doing so...i don't 'dialogue to consensus' with anyone, at least not in the affective domain.
Don't bring your purse to negotiate with these barbarians, you won't need any of it after surrendering to them.
Last i saw, Ron Paul didn't vote to 'negotiate' with ObL. He voted to support the effort to kill him. (In the words of Donald Rumsfeld to some incredibly stupid correspondant's question).
I'm puzzled by the mind of the Paulistinian though. If ObL was pissed because the US was on Arab land (the Saudi's invited us on their soil), why would we want to kill him. It was our fault for pissing him off right?
You're confusing motivation for fault. It is a GOOD THING to know the motivations of your enemy, and none of the so-called "Paulistinians" consider ObL as anything but an enemy.
Knowing the motivations of your enemy makes good tactical sense...read your Son Tzu The Art of War, excellent book...Understanding the enemy's motivation tells you how, and what you need to beat that enemy.
Do you seriously think that the CIA bin Laudin desk report that Paul cited is "blaming America" for the actions of al Qaeda? ~Of course not!
Ask any "Paulistinian" who is to blame for 9/11 (except for the Truther wackos), and they're going to tell you that:
That's a thumbnail sketch of Ron Paul's position on this matter. Just because Rudybots spin it to cover their candidate's shortcomings in knowledge of foreign policy, and his embarrrassment in getting caught short, doesn't make their spin correct...and make no mistake, Rudy didn't know what the hell he was talking about, so he resorted to bluster.
Fortunately, foreign policy is more than 15 second sound bites.
We have to get Dondi The Whoremongering Sailor to file for Congress!
This race for the GOP Nomination is vastly over. Rudy Giuliani has won. Latest polls have him at 37% way above the pack (next finisher is Fred Thompson with 14%). Very latest polls out of NH and Iowa have Giuliani inching ahead - Giulianis supposed weaker states. And he already has NY (obviously), Penn., NJ, Michigan, California and Florida in his back pocket.
Its time for all the also-rans to seriously think about dropping out. Thankfully, Jim Gilmore already has. Tancredo has suspended his campaign. Tommy Thompson is on the verge of dropping out.
Ron Paul should be next, along with Huckabee and Brownback. All those hovering around the 1 to 2% mark in national polls, like Paul, ought to give it up.
Here we are in August, 6 months after he announced, and Paul is still at 1 to 2% in all national polls. His support is an inch thick and an inch wide.
This is a race for Giuliani, and to a lesser extent Romney and Fred Thompson. All the others are just wasting our time, and worse weakening us against our real enemy Hillary Clinton for the General Election.

Eric Dondero what a tool.
Im glad he works for Giuliani now.Giuliani has ZERO chance in a general election. When is the Republican party going to wake-up?

So, Eric you are running against Ron Paul for the 14th CD? You havent got a shot in hell, pal. You didnt get Ron Paul elected in 1996, as you claim. The people of Texas elected him. And Eric claims to speak 10 to 15 languages ? From what Ive read about Eric, I almost feel a little sorry for this pathetic chap. So to quote Robert Mayers post on Last Free Voice, on May 16 which I think is fitting: Dondildo is only fluent in one language - BULL#@#$. Hes going to run against Ron Paul? LOL! Bring it on, b----!

Actually, the “Prince of Darkness” in DC-speak is Richard Perle, not Robert Novak.
“The most conservative candidate in the race gets criticized by self-described “conservatives” for not expressing his foreign policy positions in the requisite Toby-Keith-lyric soundbites. ;)”
ROFLMAO!
