What's his last name? :)
No, but seriously . . . I don't care what you think of Bill Maher (no,
really I don't), I think he's great. More importantly, I wanted to say that
if you didn't see his friday show with PJ O'Rourke and Ben Affleck, you
should scour your HBO schedule for the repeats just to catch special guest
Ron Paul. It's so inspiring to hear a politician who has the guts and
self-respect to just say what IS, undiluted, and not decorated with the
cornball, disingenuous, push-button slogans the other "republican"
contenders spew.
No surprise he's been barred from some of the "debates" . . . you can't have
someone being direct and honest in the middle of a bullshit contest.
Spoiler.
Bill obviously likes this guy, but I think even he was a bit shocked by the
amount of howling applause Ron Paul got from this notoriously liberal
audience.
There's something seriously wrong when a guy like this has little chance of
making it to the final contest because he can't compete financially. This
must change. Hey, how 'bout a grassroots underground movement to write him
in, with Mike Gravel for vice. (Gravel was the straight talking spoiler at
the Democratic debates, for those who missed that).
Oh, if only we could stop voting for smiles, poses, and empty promises.

It was thirty levels down on one of the threads but I also talked about him.
The sad thing is that voices like his are no longer welcome among 'conservatives'
in the US. Even if his ideas are wrong, they used to form at least one core
section of American conservatism, and I think it's sad that conservatives
like me are now forced to vote either for Bible thumping neo-cons or Bible
thumping neo-liberals. Or I can vote Green Party or Libertarian.
For other rational conservative thinkers (other than Pat Buchanan, whose
domestic politics I abhor but whose foreign policy ideas are old school conservative)
google Michael Scheuer, Robert Baer, William Lind, and Fabius Maximus (the
one still alive, not the Roman).
The other odd figure in the run up to the war was Sen. Robert Byrd. Once
a Klan member, now one of the last defenders of the Constitution. Here he
is in 2003
http://byrd.senate.gov/speeches/byrd_speeches_2003september/ byrd_speeches_2003september_li/byrd_speeches_2003september_l i_1.html
He's our Cicero, and don't forget that the Roman Cicero was rewarded for
his defense of the republic by having his head and hands nailed to the rostrum
in the senate.

I like Ron Paul, sorta' in the same way I like Paul Watson. I just wonder if
Ron Paul is willing to kill people if the chips are down.

I think real conservatives, like Ron Paul and (I hope) me, realize that there
are times when we have to kill people. And that's what war is about, killing
an maiming other humans. Land mines blowing up kids for the next hundred
years and limbs turned to meat. So conservatives like me believe in waging
war as truly a last resort, when strategically necessary, but when it must
be waged it should be waged as fiercely as possible and for the shortest
time possible.
I honestly think your opinion of our current Mesopotamian capers would be
different of the war were fought by Great Danes.

Something about him reminds me of Carter and Clinton........not sure exactly
what yet, maybe it's the "too good to be trueness" of the guy but to have
another Clinton or Carter in the White House would be biggest disaster in
the history of this country, even moreso than the previous Carter and
Clinton disasters, because we would be making the same mistake
twice.............on purpose.
Weasels to the left of me, clowns to the right......

Thad you also confuse me. I didn't know you were a conservative. Robert
Byrd??? This is the guy that wanted to put a thousand dollar tax on bullets
for law abiding citizens. That is $1,000.00 a bullet! Criminal sure wouldn't
pay a thousand dollars a bullet!
Since when is it Ok for a Klansmen to be in public office? I guess only
when is suits your agenda. It sure wasn't Ok for David Duke to run for office!!!
He was no longer a Klansmen. It's funny how, when it suits people it's
Ok.
It reminds me of something I once saw when I was down south when Clinton
was in office. The sign said, Only in America can you have a draft dodger
living in the white house and veterans living in cardboard boxes.
A former Klansmen is Ok by you? I wonder if he ever murdered anybody???
I believe in punishing criminals not law abiding citizens.

I agree with you here. If we must go to war we should get it over with quickly.
I don't think you should ever commit to war unless you are willing to win
it. There is no substitute for victory! You have to be willing to kill
women and children wholesale, you can't hold back or flinch. You can't
win playing patty cakes, you have to do what ever it takes. That's why I
think war is a vary bad thing. I also think it's the vary last thing to
do. The USA has lost it's will to win wars.
The democrats started a war against the republicans before we ever went in
to Iraq. It was for their own selfish political gains. A country can't
govern if it is divided against it's self. We can't win wars or anything
else this way. I'm tire of hearing how they will work together, it's bullshit.
They work together and stay in power by pointing the fingers at each other.
We need all new government. A government that is for the people and their
best interests as a whole.
Since I'm on the subject. A 5 year old could have told you that the math
doesn't work in Iraq. You can't have 150 thousand troops take on a country
with over 35 million people, in a country the size of California, with over
3,000 miles of porous boarders, with hostel enemies surrounding you. Only
40 thousand are combat troops, the rest are support. Insurgents pouring
a cross the borders everyday. You can't possibly win, you can't sweep a
country that size with those few troops. It's been a recipe for failure
from the start and I hold Bush fully responsible for that. The only people
to win are the Halliburtons of the war and their friends. For our government
to pay them 100 million dollars for stuff they couldn't account for is unforgivable.
We can't fight a war with our hands tied behind our backs. We can't fight
a war with out the proper equipment, or the necessary funds.
I also hold Clinton responsible for shutting down our military and closing
bases. We no longer have the troop levels to fight wars and protect us.
That is NOT a good thing! He put us in danger. The terrorist that caused
911 came in under Clinton and went unchecked. They stayed in the country
for years after their visas expired.

Wow, that's funny to hear you compare him to those two ineffectual
losers, DJ. He seems worlds away from either Carter (apathetic platitude
spouter) and Clinton (smarmy, insincere con artist) in the personality
department and he's universes away in his actual positions.
What I like is he actually takes positions that stand up on their own 2
feet, compared to most politicians whose main position is "Vote for me
because that guy is bad."
Ron Paul has some very original ideas and I REALLY like to hear someone
in government with the cojones to think think for himself, especially
with such creative, intelligent ideas.
