Paulistinians are just as bad as the Obamites.

Both are cult worshippers.

Right, we don’t have enough to do to fight Obama, Reid, etc.

No thanks for this BDS sack of, er..., coal under my Christmas tree; burns too hot in my wood stove.

"GWB was a failure. If he were a success, Obama would not be in office now."

Bravo! We have a winner!

And for those of you who want Bush back, my question is why? Bush led directly to Obama getting elected -- you want to repeat this disaster again?

For anyone unclear what this vomit is about:

The Campaign for Liberty was announced on June 12, 2008 as a way of continuing the grassroots support involved in Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential run, and corresponded with the suspension of that campaign. Paul formally announced during the Texas Republican Convention that he had created this new organization known as the Campaign for Liberty.

This isn’t about Ron Paul. This is about handing over our freedoms and bankrupting this country with useless wars so that an enemy doesn’t have to fight us, they can just walk in the front door holding the deed to our country!

Obama is the husband. Dubya was the sperm donor.

The more nations that America attacks in the name of liberty, the more foreigners will perceive America as the greatest threat both to their peace and self-rule. Not surprisingly, Bush's policies resulted in a collapse in the world's respect for the United States.

Only in the minds of left wing lunatics and other assorted assholes.

I noticed you didn’t mention Carter.

Wrong, the endless bashing of Bush, undermining his every move, belittling him at every turn, spreading lies about him, his service, his motives, the 2000 election, his education, you name and no one backing him up, especially himself, led to Obama.

Even the Democrats were harsh to Bush.

You Paulies make no sense at all. All you desire to do right now is destroy the GOP so you can sweep in and take it over.

Once you kill the party, what the hell do you think you will do it? Do you think people that rejected Paul outright and have rejected the libertarian message for nearly 40 years will all of a sudden flock back to the GOP just because the cult of Ron Paul now runs it?

You people deluded yourselves with your stacked online polls and now, you delude yourselves in thinking that once you destroy the party and take over, voters will flock back to it.

How would you fight terrorism?

That's easy.

Close the borders and forbid foreign Arabs (and foreign nationals from other hostile areas) between the ages of 15 and 50 from entering the country. Problem solved.

Instead the Bush administration opened the borders and allowed tens of thousands of ARAB foreign exchange students into American colleges.

Very perceptive of you. I worked for Presidents Carter and Reagan, so I know better than that...

So Osama and the Taliban weren’t based in Afghanistan? So Saddam Hussein didn’t violate the Desert Storm peace treaty hundreds of times and try to kill President George H.W. Bush? 9/11 didn’t happen? Please explain which “useless war” you’re referring to. And which enemy holds the deed and is going to just walk in and take over? Read this:

“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois (January 27, 1838)

I voted for him twice and so did most of the country which is why he got a second term. The Democrats never succeeded in sinking Bush -- Bush did it to himself.

You Paulies make no sense at all. All you desire to do right now is destroy the GOP so you can sweep in and take it over.

I love watching neocons feel sorry for themselves -- it's so pathetic.

The GOP needs no help in destroying itself. It's dying off all on its own by abandoning its conservative and libertarian roots -- and there has been no bigger offender in recent history of forgetting those roots than GWB!

Playing the victim card, eh?

You people deluded yourselves with your stacked online polls and now, you delude yourselves in thinking that once you destroy the party and take over, voters will flock back to it.

Destroy it? It's already been destroyed by a man named George W. Bush.

Well, you’d expect some derelict drunk to take orders from some dirt eating skank and like it, cause he gets up at noon and is done by two....
