I am seen too much of his voting record. The libertarian can even read the plain language of the U.S. Constitution which gives the federal government the power to regulate commerce between states. He voted against the the ban on transporting minors across state borders to murder her child by abortion. I guess he got it confused with his war on the war on drugs.

Regan ran the national debt up so high I hardly view him as a fiscal conservative. He was a spend and borrow Republican instead of a spend and tax Democrat. Ron Paul is a fiscal conservative, it is his conservative credentials on social policies that are lacking.

If wanting to get the USA out of the UN, getting rid of the Dept. of Education (Reagan wanted to do that, I know; Reagan is only used when needed by the quote on quote real conservatives) and to get the Federal Gov out of our lives, is not Conservative. Then you can call me the next Pope.

I think I am the twilight zone.

Might not agree totally with him on the war, but his domestic policys are what I believe in.

Just read Michael Yon and Michael Totten’s long and extensive reports from Iraq and you a real pickture of what the Surge has done for the people of Iraq. Why do you think Muqtada al Sadr told his troops to stand down? He was afraid of being wiped out. They just want to lose — Cut off your nose to spite your face. What a way to partcipate in the world.

Happy Friday to all! It’s that time of the week again! Do you have an interesting post you want to share with everyone? The official Surrender Monkey of the Democratic Party says to do what the Lefties don’t, since they all have the same talking po…

Ron Paul is not a real conservative. He is a libertarian with social conservative leanings. A real conservative would be more socially conservative than he is and I do not believe pro or con isolationist standing have anything to do with it. According to On the Issues most of the other Republican candidates with the exception of Giuliani are real conservatives but I have my doubts about a couple of others. Even the ones who are I disagree on Issues.

Ron Paul’s opinion about the surge not working does appear to me a mental delusion but that just goes to show some humans will believe whatever they choose to despite evidence to the contrary. He seems to have a lot of conspiracy nuts in his following which doesn’t speak well of him. They would probably turn on him if he actually became President.

As one whose followed the briefings from MNF-I for a year and a half on a weekly to daily basis, I can tell you that the information dissemination has changed dramatically over the past 6 months.

You clearly don’t understand counterinsurgency. Cessation of violence doesn’t come by U.S. troops “staying in their place and not even trying to expand their turf.” First of all, Iraq isn’t our turf. Second of all, the exact opposite is true. This is why the mission is currently succeeding; we’re OUT of the FOBs (Forward Operating Bases or compounds) where we used to retreat to, allowing the bad guys time to terrorize the population and plant IEDs, etc., and we are integrated into the local population. Expanding our area of operations is exactly what we’ve done and the opposite of what you say your friends suppose about U.S. operations.

Please don’t give me the “poor troops in Iraq need to be rescued” bizz. I’m married to an OIF vet and have been an Army wife for 14+ years. These guys know exactly what they’re getting into when they sign on the dotted line and enlistments are for 2-4 years. Since 2001, enlistees knew what the deal was when they signed up. If a soldier enlisted to milk the federal gov. of college money or benefits and whine about deployments, most soldiers are completely unsympathetic to them. They get what they deserve.

Your cockeyed theory about Iraqi casualties decreasing is certainly creative, I have to hand you that. The U.S. is doing less killing, and it was the TERRORISTS not U.S.troops who killed Iraqi civilians. Why do you think Iraqis turned on terrorists and turned toward the U.S. in Iraq if WE were the ones doing the killing? Give me a break!

This war effort is succeeding and you libs are in total denial because you’d rather make foolish arguments than think you’re letting Bush get away with winning a war.

French Pres. Sarkozy is more American than American liberals.

The Dems, Lieberman says, are more concerned with handing George Bush a defeat than defeating the global threat of Khomeinism and Qaidism.

The troops have fewer deaths because they’re staying in their place and not even trying to expand their turf. This causes fewer Iraqi deaths, because it is our troops and subcontractors that do most of the killing, which is actually legally murder since a Declaration of War isn’t there to protect them.

Two kids from my church are in Iraq, right now, and they want to come home. One of my family’s best friends has a dad who is in Iraq, and he said it is going much worse, but he’s fearful for his pension to speak out.

It’s bad. It’s really bad. And you are taking money from my pocket, and my kids’ futures, to pay for your madness.

I hate to say it, but the conservatives have lost their way completely. The liberals, though, are even worse.
