Ron Paul = Hillary on the War; Rudy Giuliani = Hillary on abortion, gay rights, gun control, illegal aliens, etc. Neither are conservative. Neither are Republican. I would no more vote for the "Republican antiwar candidate" Ron Paul or the "Republican pro-choice candidate" Rudy Giuliani than I would the treasonous butcher Hillary Klintoon.
JMHO.
Have seen first hand L Ron Paul Paulestianians with signs and their anti war rants.
Also signs and material that 9/11 was an inside job and planes into the WTC were by remote control.
Talked first hand with them and just like talking to the
Code Pinkos
The Paulestianians on FR try to suck Conservatives into their cult and will make the election of a Democrat possible
Agreed. One picky point: Rights are God-given; the government can only guarantee those rights, it cannot grant them, nor rescind them. (Or conversely, if it does grant them, it can also take them away.) The role of the federal government in that regard is to guarantee, uniformly across all States, the God-given rights described in the Bill of Rights (explicitly and implicitly).
> Generally, this is one of the few things the federal government should be doing (along with immigration, etc) and not leave to the States. As soon as the federal government abdicates its authority, and allows States to limit our federal rights, we are screwed.
Agreed. The only stuff the Fed Gov should involve itself with are those things that affect all States (such as invasions, illegal immigration (but I repeat myself), roads, currency) and the guaranteeing of our God-given rights.
The idea that different States can arbitrarily limit 2nd Amendment rights drives me up a freakin' wall. It's exactly wrong; precisely backwards.
In the general, if my choices are Hillary or Rudy, I will vote for Rudy. EVERY Republican is better than ANY Democrat in this election.That's not necessarily true.
Amen, brother.
What is your take on the almost identical positions and level of responsibility of Senators McCain and Thompson in giving life to McCain/Feinold?
Big mistake.
Who do you consider as a candidate that would make that a safe assumption?
Won’t be Giuliani. Or Romney. McCaine is out. Paul is a nutcase who can’t be trusted with national security. Of the remaining candidates, I’ll go with Thompson or Hunter.
Okay. Where can I find infomation on thier views on constitutional issues and interpretation?
I don’t know, but from everything I’ve read about Thompson and Hunter they are both pro-life, pro-gun, pro-defense conservatives. Additionally, Thompson seems to be a federalist. I would trust either with appointing judges. Would never trust Giuliani or Romney. Ron Paul is a nutcase.
Ron Paul bills himself as “the antiwar Republican.” Hillary Clinton is furiously backpedalling from her war vote. No thanks. You can have them both.
Somehow that doesn’t seem like much to be making assumptions on.
By the way, someone up thread has already pointed out that Ron Paul is really closer to the moonbat Dennis Kucinich on the war. And that’s true. And all three of them (Hillary, Kucinich and Ron Paul) are in league with the America-hating CodePinkO group and the World Socialist Party’s International Answer.
Well, I’m sure a topnotch researcher such as yourself can go out and find the real skinny. Please report back to us with your findings.
If you don't understand why certain types of comments and posts impart a negative perception of FR in many people's minds, then you might be part of the problem.
If the purpose of Mr. Robinson's forum is to provide a chat room for like-minded people, then no problem.
However, if a dual purpose of the forum is to persuade lurkers and others to our point of view and elect conservative politicians, then we must be more astute politicians ourselves.
Ron Paul is a nutcase, he’s a cross between Ross Perot, Ralph Nader and Kucinich. He’s probably WORSE on the war than Hitlery.
Hitlery is NOT a pacifist, she is more of a Stalinist. She would love to be able to claim victory in a war.
The forum IS for like minded conservative activists. FR is NOT a liberal debating society nor a chat room. Abortionists, liberals, RINOs, and antiwar activists can kiss my ass. Don’t need them. Don’t want them.
‘Do you really think any Democrats will vote for Paul because of his anti-war stance,’
Every leftwing zealot will, because they are appalled Hillary Clinton voted for the war in the first place.
And given she finally denounced the moveon.org ad yesterday on the Sunday talk shows, they are even more angry with her.
