Well i think we are coming by somewhat different paths to a similar conclusion, which is that the GOP under Rudyite control is more of an obstacle than a benefit to the national interest (maybe I have you wrong here). Of course if someone else is nominated the worth of the party is still in question. As of this point I could support any other GOP candidate (other than Paul, of course), with more or less enthusiasm. As to the WOT, I think Iraq will be settled, one way or the other, by January, 2009, and no action against Iran would be supported by the next president, unless it attacks us or Israel.

No, I think we're in agreement on that issue.

The worth of the party is only in question for me, until such a time as they make it known they are going to get back to the basics.

We probably disagree on this point. I can't support Romney or McCain. As for Paul, you've nailed it.

I too see the Iran problem solved by 2009. Of course it seemed like Iraq would be solved much sooner as well though. I do agree with your comment though.
