John Kerry served in Vietnam, but since then, his questionable activities after the war, and his weakness on Foreign Policy and National Security issues made him a weak candidate and it stands in stark contrast to John McCain's career and strengths in Foreign Policy and National security. Quote:

More importantly, McCain has probably been the most visible person opposing the new 2006 Democratic congress's efforts to withdraw all US combat forces from Iraq in less than a year. Just look at the publics opinion of John McCain to the publics opinion of the new Democratic Congress to see who is winning that debate. The Democrats have failed in all their efforts and many of them spent the last quarter of 2007 admitting that the surge plan was succeeding despite declaring that the begining of the year that it would either fail or make things worse. It even forced the top Democratic candidates to briefly say they could not promise that US troops would be out of Iraq by 2013. As we move further into 2008, the Democratic Congress has its tail tucked firmly between its legs on the Iraq war. Quote:

Besides, if they weren't in war for us. Saddam Hussein definitely would have given one of his nukes to Osama bin Laden, and we would have had another 9/11. Thank god our troops knocked him over. |

![]() Can you please quote me where I said I don't support people in uniform. Jesus, you are so thick sometimes. Where did I "go against" them? And how come you're not over there "knocking Saddam over" then? I thought you were anti-war. Isn't that why you worship that idiot Ron Paul? |

You know I support Ron Paul (who in my opinion is not an idiot), so did you really think I was serious in my post? |

Saddam had a nuke? And he was going to give it to Osama? How romantic.

He can't possibly be all things to all people, sure he is non-interventionist (he wants to pull out of the UN, fine), he opposes the War on Drugs (great) but he also thinks Don't Ask Don't Tell is a good policy and puts civil rights issues as state rights (for instance Sodomy Laws). Is it possible that a libertarian could see the rights and liberties of individual citizens of a country trumping opressive laws made in the name of states rights; individual sexual liberties trumping state discrimination (not only sexuality but race and religiousity as well). He raises important issues but at the same time he pulls in the tinfoil hat crowd as well as the palaeocons; attacking him for the people that he gets support from is simply ad hominem but the reasons that they support him can be quite revealing (and at the extreme there are the real bigots who see anti-federalism as the best way to pursue their social agenda - not everybody in America is fortunate enough to live in a blue state, Jesusland would be feesible). The other problems I have with Paulians are their poll-spamming (the real reason why online support exceeds voter turnout) and making him into a single issue candidate (he opposed Iraq - so what? How is he going to abolish the Federal Reserve and restore the gold standard? How strong is his commitment to restoring Letters of the Marque and Reprisal (which I think is a legitimate idea that deserves robust debate)). |

yeah, it seems like pretty much everything in here reminds you of one of the Gulf Wars. no matter the topic, you always come back to some entirely unrelated point where there's no connection whatsoever to the original post. but keep it up! |
