Welcome to Gaia! ::

Good stuff RaveKitten13!

Maybe in your view point, but how was the war constitutional to begin with. It wasn't. They want us out, we want us out, we should just leave. No time table, no out by 2013 maybe, out now. How many more people should we allow to die before we see the error of our ways? How is putting our country more and more in debt to the point of bankruptcy helping us (source)? How is policing the world helping us?
The terrorist word should be seen as it is, fear mongering, and shouldn't be used to get the people to allow war. When has war ever been good? Historically war has never been good, religious, political, or economical.

The whole war thing in truth is for oil, but when peak oil happens, and prices go soaring, what will happen then? Things will get worse, then our economy will collapse (I think we may have passed peak oil). We shouldn't do what bush wants, more money to be put into war. Instead we should fix the problem with focusing on our on country, and trying to find an alternative energy source. I think if we spent all the money we have spent so far on that then our problem could have been solved.

No matter what problems will arise when we pull out. Lets not be pussies and deal with that bridge when it comes. Not add more fire to it before we even get there.

$8,000 per second is spent on the Iraq War. We can fix our own problems with that kind of money.source

For the Vietnam War after America signed a "Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam." Didn't end the war, but finally pulled the US out of it. Vietnam fixed its own problem 2 years later. History should repeat itself this way again.

Where we supposed to pull out when they elected a new leader?

Anti-abortion states had that law on the books pre-Roe v Wade, and there's already similar laws that apply to minors.

I don't trust the legislatures in shitholes like Alabama to protect the rights of women. They already do everything the federal courts will allow to take them away. Once the entire country learns to walk upright and use their opposable thumbs we'll talk about abortion as a states' rights issue.

Well being how this has been a long time problem. I don't think Ron Paul should scare away your vote. Especially since he has nothing to hide unlike who he is running against.

*bows* The good news is that my mom hasn't voted for a Republican since -- and that argument was something like ten years ago. How a ganja-smoking, closeted pagan feminazi like her managed to register Republican in the first place baffles me. o_O;

I don't see the relevance of that video to my statement that all politicians have something to hide. Anyone has the capability to lie, some people can do it more consistantly and/or convincingly than others. Doesn't mean I think he IS, at least not about anything too awful, but I certainly don't believe everything _anyone_ says - that just goes doubly so for those in politics.

And, uh, nice half-veiled dig at my age?

I was just showing he is basically the same guy 20 years ago. Yes everyone has something to hide. Though I'm not a person who like to state the obvious too much. Online its hard to know who are really talking too without looking at their trail online to find age, sex, location, Ip adresses and the such. You have lived a ruff life (like everyone else) so I can see why your so aggravated. Now instead of being mad at how things are, why not try to help change them for the better. Out of all the candidates to choose from, which would help America the most? Or who is Morally the best choice?
When it comes to abortion, should the government regulate it, or the states? The choice should be the people, so naturally the states would be the correct answer. If you don't like it move, if you can't move then try to help other people who have the same opinion as you to get it changed.
I think Ron Paul has good morals. He would rather save lives then destroy them. Isn't that what matters the most?

Oh I beg to differ. Here is a perfect video personal interview with Ron Paul.

As to say, "don't vote for the next President of the United States because of the color of their skin, or gender, but by the overall views of the candidate."

Ron Paul is not likely to change his views since he is like 72, and been saying the same message 20 years ago. The run down, you have a right to liberty to do, say, be however you like and the government has no control over that, but to uphold that right. The current war is bankrupting our nation, and we need to get out now. The war on drugs is a loosing battle thats been going on for almost 90 years and costing us more and more every year, which needs to be stopped.

I can source myself on all that you need sources for. All in all we need to not have the government have more control over us then us over them.

“When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny.”- Thomas Jefferson

Dr. Paul is obviously the only Republican (and traditional one at that) that should be nominated, that he is such a libertarian he covers both parties. When I was very young and in history class learning about how democracy was started and what each party represented. I thought myself a Republican. Until I grew up I found myself a Democrat libertarian.. My stance is where Ghandi's stance is. Wanna know where you are on the political compass? Click ~ME~

Ron Paul FTW xd so funny. Its like the power of Rona Paul is that of Liberty + win
