If you joined looking for a group of Ron Paul supporters, you’ve joined the wrong site.

Try DemocraticUnderground.com - they like Paul over there.

Not one of them even mentions the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty. How about LOST if the Outer Space Treaty is too esoteric?

What the heck is Huckabee even doing in the GOP. He’s a tax raising, nanny state, open borders liberal. His only “conservative” positions are he is pro-life, pro 2A.

“Sadly, the establishment ‘right’ is playing the same game.”

That is sad. The ‘right’ doesn’t have the guts to stand behind a REAL conservative, and it’s especially sad when it’s still so early, and there’s time to change the odds.

The lawyer answer is actually correct. There is no time to get Congressional approval, which would warn the enemy’s defenses anyway. There certainly would be 24 or 48 hours of time to have lawyers decide if the President has authority under the Iraq war authorization to attack a weapons supplier of the enemy in Iraq.

You let the lawyers provide an opinion. If they say go, you go with no fear of being illegal, in the context that you act in good faith as to obeying the Constitution. If they say no go, then you are facing an illegal act contrary to the Constitution.

Good answer.

I think most Americans are sick of the polished look and want someone honest and sincere.....

I can’t stand fake....don’t trust it.....

Yes, and again, he answers directly and with common sense. No posturing or patronizing, and recognizes CHOICE of Union or Non-Union by the employees, not MANDATED Union membership.

Fred Thompson is freaking terrible. God he is awful. Sorry if I offend his supporters but man is he dull and lacking any substance.

I don't agree that he's awful ... but he is lackluster. Not particularly inspiring or articulate.

But this is his first time out, and I think he'll get better. If his goal this time is not to bomb and to avoid gaffes, he is at least achieving that.

No Romney wants a better managed Government, not more Government, you missed that. We already have Government, but we have lots and lots of waste and mismanagement.

Open your mind.

Oh so your promise that you were out of here in your last post was just another lie hmmm? You first. Your have demonstrated your mind is completely welded shut on the topic of Paul.

Still waiting for ONE of your Paulbots to post a single post that actually explains what Paul would do. All you people seem capable of is screaming bile at everyone who doesn’t mindlessly worship your god, Ron Paul.

Simple challenge to you Paulites. With NO slogans. NO demagoguery. NO sliming everyone else who doesn’t share your faith. Tell me HOW Paul would do anything. Here is his “Issues page”. NOT a word about what or how he would do anything. Just a bunch of slogans strung together basically screaming bile at everyone and everything.

http://www.ronpaul2008.com/issues/

See, you need us to support Dr Paul. We have no reason to support Dr Paul. So please explain to us WHAT and HOW a Paul Administration would do anything. Do that with OUT sliming any one. No name calling, no hysteric hyper emotive rhetoric. None of the usual Paulite personal attacks in place of reason argument. No cut and pasting of sound bite statements from Paul speeches. NO statements of what YOU think Paul means. REAL plans with documented links so we can read them for ourselves.
