This thread is just begging for this screen-grab : )

To all the nay-sayers.. saying no chance, You'll soon be on board ; )

So what your point by this Orange1998? There’s no evidence here that the US supplied Iraq with chemical weapons. Helicopters and other military equipment were supplied, but where is the evidence of supplying Iraq with mustard gas? They may have bought components to make insecticides (which is chem weapons for bugs) from the US and then made the gas, but he probably got this stuff from dozens of other countries too.

Removed as requested.

(Eaglet, thank you for the FReepMail adding 3 new names to the Great Ron Paul Ping List. I'll add them as requested, and we can compare notes later this week).

Just as a point of personal info, Lynx -- while I have nothing personal against Duncan Hunter, if I were going to abandon Ron Paul (and I'm not, but "what if?"), my second choice would be Tom Tancredo.

• Like Ron Paul, Tancredo has outraised Duncan Hunter by a factor of 2-to-1 in early fundraising; and like Ron Paul, Tancredo has generally scored higher than Hunter in Name Recognition and GOP Primary Preference. Tancredo can match Hunter point for point on Abortion, National Defense, Gun Rights, and obviously there's no-one better than Tancredo on Illegal Immigration (not even Paul or Hunter).

• UNLIKE Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo IS rated a "Taxpayer's Friend" by the National TaxPayer's Union. Out of 435 Congressman, Tancredo's lowest rating ever has been as the 13th most Fiscally-Conservative Congressman in the entire House -- and his best rating ever was 4th out of 435, almost right behind Ron Paul! IMHO, this compares very favorably with Duncan Hunter's ratings on Tax-and-Spending issues -- which have been so atrocious (even deducting out National Defense; just looking at Pork Barrel project spending) that Hunter has been bringing the "Conservative" rating of the rest of the GOP Congress DOWN!

Ron Paul is my first choice. Ron Paul will continue to be my first choice. I intend to support Ron Paul all the way through the Republican Primaries.

But that said, if another Conservative can be Nominated, my second choice would be Tom Tancredo: Pro-Life, Pro-Defense, Pro-Guns, Anti-Illegal Immigration, and he's a genuine Fiscal Conservative (unlike Hunter).

Just My Humble Opinion.

(Full Disclosure: I also like Tom Tancredo because he's the only declared Presbyterian in the race. But then again, didn't I just say that he is a a true Fiscal Conservative? Perhaps I repeat myself...)

Beautiful Screen Capture. Ping to Eaglet.

"First Place, Ron Paul"

[Orange1998]

We are fighting for the freedom of the Iraqis too.

I can't believe people still believe this. I was a good sound bit back when but no one believes it now.

[Yankee Dutch]

Truth hurts. President Bush doesn’t do sound bites in case you’ve not been paying attention. And your brilliant solutions to the gwot? Or are you a non-believer in Islamists as well?

[Orange1998]

And your brilliant solutions to the gwot?

You can start with securing our borders. Until that is done this war on terror will never be "mission accomplished".

President Bush doesn’t do sound bites in case you’ve not been paying attention.

Oh come on. Bush is full of them, "Bring 'em On" ring a bell.

[Yankee Dutch]

And for the terrorists who come over here legally, like the 9/11 hijackers? News flash, they didn’t sneak in from Mexico, just one of several examples why we a comprehensive solution to illegal immigration.

You read like a snide lib to me, don’t care how long you’ve been on this site. And you have a problem w/ ‘bring em on?’ hardly a sound bite, more like a rally cry to the troops.

Real conservatives don’t talk nonsense trash about their president, sorry. This is why we lost Congress in 2006, thanks!

[Orange1998]

We lost Congress because of the RINO, pure and simple. If you refresh yourself in what a true conservative stands for then you will understand the defeat in Congress. The current Republican Party has alienated many with the embracing of Kennedy ideology.

[Yankee Dutch]

Right; too many conservatives stayed home, thanks for proving my point.

[Orange1998]

They made themselves heard loud and clear to the party. It still not too late for a true conservative to step up to the plate and win the next Presidency. I would venture to bet the nominee for the Republican Party has not thrown his hat in the ring.

[Yankee Dutch]

This is NOT a reason to abandon our troops. We are at WAR. 100% pettiness.

[Orange1998]

Don’ put words in my mouth. Never said to abandon our troops. and Never Will.

[Yankee Dutch]

Making excuses for conservatives who don’t vote is the SAME THING.
