Climb On Board The 'Ron Paul Revolution'

The fact that you are so against Ron Paul is a sign of his merit in my eyes.

You go ahead and run with that. LOL

[billbears]

There is nothing particularly conservative about that stance, except in the most uncharitable definition of what it means to be "conservative" (i.e. cowardly, insular, lazy, sedentary...).

No offense but there's nothing particularly conservative about carrying out Wilsonian nation building. Nothing to do with cowardly, lazy, or sedentary. But rather you declare war, you go to war, and you win the war only when necessary and not to 'stabilize' a region or remove a dictator that may or may not be supportive of actions against another nation not ours.

Paul ping.

[A message]

They are conservatives tired of the war and tired of Washington.

Tired of war? I didn't know we had a choice. I didn't know the fight against Islamic Jihad was something that we can just grow tired and quit. Yea but I understand those rationing lines we've experienced are a real pain.

I wouldn't want to share a foxhole with your friends.

[Petronski]

But rather you declare war, you go to war, and you win the war only when necessary

All of those criteria are currently being met. Next.

[Ditter]

Ok, you are *for Paul because Petronski is against him. So are you *for paul because the anti-war libs are *for him? Do you usually follow the libs lead?

Last known photo of the Ron Paul Revolution, overloaded with isolationist and defeatist ideology:

Military is for protection

A defensive only military posture is a losing posture. The very reason our military has been so effective at protecting Americans is that they are forward deployed. Sitting on our shores waiting to be attacked is a losing strategy.

If this is an example of the depth of Ron Paul's intellect, then he has lost before he's even started.

No thanks.

No thanks to this: ?

"There is no surer way to have the money you have earned for yourself and your family be used to support that which you do not value and given to those who have not earned it than by allowing the government to tax your income."

Give me a break, a third party candidate, even one with the right ideas will ensure a Hillary victory.

Okay....that still doesn't really explain how you just know Ron Paul will be a third party candidate if he loses the republican primary.

[dirtboy]

If we truly want peace, to be safer, and to not drain the pockets of our children, we should redeploy our military personel back to our shores and waters and trade freely with all nations.

To the Paulites: congratulations. Y'all have just out-Murtha'd Murtha. Hanoi Jack just wanted to deploy back to Korea.

Nothing to be proud of, but I doubt y'all will grasp that if you are outflanking Jack Murtha to the left, it's time to re-examine your premises.

I like a lot about Paul, his stance on the war is the only major issue I do not like on him. Right now I am supporting Duncan Hunter, Paul is my #2, Fred #3.

[maine-iac7]

Hey, Hydro = in reading your posts, one wonders - is English your second language?

One simple truth - Paul is 72 now = which would put well into his 80’s if he got to a second term - He’s older than Reagan was, by a full term, when he was elected.

There’s a limit = I’m Paul’s age - I cannot imagine taking on the rigors of 8 years in the WH - and maintaining it.

[Allegra]

They are conservatives tired of the war and tired of Washington.

Tired of the war.

Tired.

Of.

The

War

Interesting. Is the coverage of the war cutting into Star Trek reruns or something? Tired of hearing about all that nasty old terrorism?

Try living it.

The troops and the generals and all of those involved also get tired of the war. Very tired sometimes.

But none of us wants to quit just becuase we're tiiiired.

We can see the results...amazing results lately. Quitting, giving up is NOT an option.

[Ditter]

Yikes! That is a spectacular train wreck! Is that the Paul Express?

[dirtboy]

A defensive only military posture is a losing posture. The very reason our military has been so effective at protecting Americans is that they are forward deployed. Sitting on our shores waiting to be attacked is a losing strategy.

If Ron Paul has his way, our military will be presented with ample opportunities for defensive operations.

[dirtboy]

There’s a limit = I’m Paul’s age - I cannot imagine taking on the rigors of 8 years in the WH - and maintaining it.

But you see, if we deploy our troops back to the US, there will be nothing for Ron Paul to do but veto bills other than those with earmarks for wild shrimp. Peace, love and kumbaya will reign around the planet. No Islamifascists will come here and attack us. No, siree.
