two words...Corporate Whore.

[krazylarry]

they all lie

[Micky7]

And the Dems offer a better plan?

C'mon... when are the hardliners going to realize that party-line politics is turning off people and leaving them looking for ANYTHING that looks like an alternative.

We all have a brain - yes, each of us really do. We actually have the power to think for ourselves. Imagine that. Wow.

this is a domestic issue correct? and who has the power over domestic affairs? hmm?

is it the president? nope. Is it the congress??? yes!

Therefore Hilary can only persuade congress to pass a universal healthcare plan, but she has not constitutional authority to do shit besides foreign affairs.

therefore she is spewing a load of bullshit.

As long as there is an extreme political polarization between the two loser parties, they will never work together to accomplish the most basic tasks let alone something huge like this.

Plus...there are many types of Republicans these days...so it's not so cut and dry...but either way...I don't want the U.S. to be in Iraq for another 100 years. I think there is a more peaceful (and more constitutional) solution to countering the rise of Islamic terrorism aimed at the U.S.

LOL...so a Republican is an idiot or fearful if they don't embrace Paul???

9/11 and Islamic extremists is a reality we all face. Paul seems to think that if we get out of an area we don't belong in then we will be safe. Well...who lived in those lands before them? Is it really their land? Is Spain part of Islam? The Middle East is a breeding ground for terrorists because of their lack of education, lack of a "free" press, lack of an economy, etc.

Iraq for another 100 years? Who knows? Maybe another 15? Or maybe if we fully support this effort...5 more years?

OK if I vote ron paul then That would be a wasted vote. Agreed? My only two real choices being McCain or Huckabee. I really hate voting for the lesser of two evils. What are my choices here?

Its not a wasted vote, vote with your conscience not with who is the most popular or the lesser of two evils. Mccaine, Huckabee, and Romney are supposed to be top candidates they get all the press. Voting for one of them is like betting on the house, their supposed to win. Imagine if there was a whole bunch of people like you who didn't vote for Ron Paul because they wanted to pick the lesser of the evils instead of a candidate they actually like.

In the face of overwhelming opposition from the American public to the Bush-McCain plan to escalate the Iraq War, presidential hopeful John McCain yesterday proposed a Senate resolution that would include "a series of benchmarks" he has long opposed. [New York Times, 1/26/07] McCain emphasized that if the benchmarks set by his resolution are not met, "everyone knows the consequence...then you have to examine your mission." [CNN, 1/26/2007]

In other words, McCain is now proposing imposing benchmarks that the Iraqi government would be required to meet on a specific ti****ble, or face an American re-evaluation of its strategy. The move is a contradiction for John McCain who "has vigorously endorsed the president's war policies" and once called the idea of a ti****ble "a recipe for disaster." [Washington Post, 1/26/07; Birmingham News, 11/22/05] Just over a month ago, McCain went so far as to say that "placing a limited timeframe...would only induce Iraqis to side with militias" and against Americans. [Arizona Republic, 12/7/06]

"Increasingly isolated for his stubborn support of the President's failed strategy in Iraq, John McCain is again contradicting himself hoping to have it both ways as he seeks the Republican nomination," said Democratic National Committee spokesman Luis Miranda. "The American people want a new direction in Iraq and principled leadership. McCain's call for benchmarks is a call for the ti****ble he has long opposed and another example he's willing to do anything to get elected."

Today McCain Wants Benchmarks. "Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, said he would propose giving the Iraqis a series of benchmarks to demonstrate progress." [The New York Times, 01/26/2007]

But McCain Said Ti****ble Was A "Recipe For Disaster" And Urged Colleagues To Show Some "Backbone." McCain, calling Iraq a "noble cause" and saying that to "prevail" in Iraq required "a little backbone," slammed Murtha's proposal for a ti****bled troop redeployment. McCain said, "To set a ti****ble, when it doesn't comply with the situation on the ground, I think is a recipe for disaster." [Birmingham News, 11/22/05]

McCain Further Said A Date for Withdrawal Would Lead to Chaos. "I believe that a withdrawal, or a date for withdrawal, will lead to chaos in the region, and most military experts think the same thing." [NBC News, 11/12/06]

And That a "Timeframe" Would "Induce Iraqis to Side With Militias". The Arizona Republic reported that John McCain "said he disagrees that any such redeployment should be characterized as 'short-term,' or that any firm ti****ble for U.S. troop withdrawal should be set. 'Our troops should be sent to Baghdad, or anywhere in Iraq, in order to complete a defined mission, not to serve until some predetermined date passes...By placing a limited timeframe on our military commitments, we would only induce Iraqis to side with militias that will stay indefinitely, rather than with the U.S. and Government of Iraq.'" [Arizona Republic, 12/7/06] " End Quote. I could see if Duncan Hunter was the frontrunner but that lying b@stard McCain he is more Dem than Repub.

Alot of this sound just like the Dem's pal....

Like each side is actually different. The Dem's are just worse, with their outlandish ideas, they're not fooling me either.
