I'm voting for Ron Paul next year

or

Prez Obama

seriously?


GOP Rep. Ron Paul stands by his comments the United States should have told Pakistan that American officials were aware of Osama bin Laden’s whereabouts before conducting the raid that led to his demise, Politico reports.

“Why are we having trouble with the [Pakistani] government, why are we stirring up a civil war in Pakistan? It's because we’ve been bombing it," Paul said on "Fox News Sunday."

Paul, who announced Friday he is running for the GOP presidential nomination, said his opposition to the U.S. mission to kill bin Laden is indicative of his non-interventionist foreign policy.

how much money would our country have saved over the years with this type of foreign policy? I dont agree with it 100% though, we needed to be going after OBL and other terrorists.. but think if Ron Paul's strategy was used for Iraq, we would have saved tons of

oh, i've always said iraq was a clusterfu_k of epic proportions. hell, we'd probably we done and gone from afganistan had we not gone off on a tangent into iraq.

however, i think ron paul would be an extreme shift. we can't do it all, but we can't do nothing either.

Well, as everyone knows, Newt's campaign for President pretty much self-destructed this week, and is already being called "over" by many.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_863660.html

Probably true. Oh, well.

From his disastrous appearance on Meet The Press, to the glittering attack at a book signing, to having to call Rush on the air having to atone, to flip flopping to three positions in 48 hours, to disavowing his own taped words, to blaming David Gregory, Gingrich spent the week being ... Gingrich.

If you missed it, Gingrich's press secretary sent out the most amazing Press Release in the history of presidential candidate press releases. This is it. No, this is not from The Onion, this is the actual Newt Gingrich press release:

The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding. Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment's cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich, once again ready to lead those who won't be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.

Of course, the entire world has made fun of this press release in the past 24 hours, but none so well as Stephen Colbert, who had Sir John Lithgow do a dramatic reading of it (below link).

Goodbye, Newt! It's only been a week this time! We know you are supposed to do the Sunday Morning Talk Shows again this weekend. We'll see!

That press release was amazing. Newt has no shot and I'm disappointed, but hey at least Huckabee wont be getting the nom either.

But I do agree with this from the press release:

Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world

Hey, Pawlenty "officially" threw in today, I heard

Poor Newt. He quit prematurely as a Congressman, the ethics and tax charges, has gotten no love by his party since.

If Ron Paul and his beliefs were in place 30 years ago then there wouldn't be a bin Laden.

Think about that.

That's a defeatist way to look at it.


The Afghan Mujahideen was armed, trained and funded by the CIA. Now you're going to find mostly denial and propaganda from the mainstream media on this issue.

But all you have to do is look at the times back in 1979-1989 and you can clearly see that Russia was our #1 enemy.

Look at our funding of rebels in Libya, which I'm sure they will continue to deny that any Al Qaeda is involved.

Don't stop believing.

Thanks on the friendly welcome back.
