"Isolationist" is a Wilsonian slur targetted at Americans who want independence from foreign entanglements.

The GOP is closer to Wilson, FDR, LBJ than any real conservative on foreign policy.

American sons should not die to "make the world safe for democracy." What crap.

Russell Kirk, founding father of conservatism, opposed our entry into Iraq in the early 90s.

America should be a republic, not an empire.

You should see the ron paul forum, the last 20 threads on the front page are all about spamming the cell phone poll with programs and calling friends to vote. You don’t win primaries with cell phones, guys.

True enough. Yet, somehow watching Sean moaning over it all is just too entertaining.

Huckabee on Fred “You have to get in the game. If you don’t get in the game, you forfeit. Fred forfeited tonight.”

Oh come on you don’t think 33% of the viewers are really moronic enough to support RuPaul?

I just sent Hannity an email asking the point of having people vote by texting instead of by voting on the Fox website.

I guess Fox gets a kickback on the texting fees.

Guliani invoked the Constitution several times during the debate.

Calling for it to be publicly burned doesn't count.

Early on there was a lot of trashing and spaming against Hunter and I think some just had enough of that stupidity.

Have you thoroughly researched Romney?

“Mitt changes tax-cut tune
By Casey Ross
Boston Herald Reporter
Thursday, February 8, 2007 - Updated: 12:56 AM EST
After refusing to endorse President Bush’s tax cuts when he was governor, Mitt Romney has now made them a central part of his presidential campaign, stirring accusations that he is changing his position to appeal to GOP primary voters.”
http://news.bostonherald.com/politics/view.bg?articleid=181734&format=text


After being relentlessly criticized for a year and a half by conservative activists over his endorsement of Kennedy’s federal “gay rights” legislation and, since it was disclosed last week, his endorsement of “gays in the military,” today Romney added to his pattern of flip-flops by reversing his position on both.

snippet from: http://americansfortruth.com/news/gary-glenn-mitt-romney-not-trustworthy.html

About the Second Amendment Duncan Hunter said: “It seems every election year, some liberal politician dons an NRA cap and grabs a shotgun for a hunting photo-op, as if that means they support our right as Americans to keep and bear arms. But the second amendment is not about hunting. It is about the right of you and me to be secure in our homes.”

Now this about Romney which shows Romney is one of the guys that Duncan Hunter is referring to:

“Today (Romney) he claims to be a champion of the Second Amendment, a proud member of the National Rifle Association. Yet, he supported President Clinton’s draconian 1994 gun ban, boasting to the Boston Herald: “That’s not going to make me the hero of the NRA. I don’t line up with a lot of special interest groups.”

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56637

Just a few things (for now).

Yes, Fred forfeited the poorly watched overcrowded and overhyped debate. Unlike Huckabee, Fred doesn’t need to beat up on Ron Paul to get his numbers up.

Tonight was the first time I’d ever seen him and if it’s the last, I’m okay with that. I thought he was a real jerk.

9 January 2004: Danish troops patrolling north of Basra find old mustard gas shells
21 April 2004: Truck found headed due west from Iraq carrying several tons of chemical weapons
17 May 2004: Two six-inch rounds with sarin gas from Hussein’s regime were USED AGAINST AMERICAN TROOPS, fortunately they were unsuccessful
30 June 2004: Polish troops uncover cyclosarin weapons in undercover purchase
7 July 2004: Two tons of U-238, which can be used for the production of Pu-239, was removed from Saddam’s HQ.
Then there’s the issue of al-Samud missiles.

That’s just a few out of my archives. I’m sure there are many more.
