Military Donors Back Ron Paul & Obama

i’m waiting for my bush stimulus check to give to the top democratic candidate :) … of course i’m not shocked that military families are giving to anti-war candidates… all of those i know personally are secretly some of the biggest bush haters i know… ron paul is a true republican, and even though i am a democrat/progressive/independent, i have much respect for ron paul… the only true republican running

I gave money to Ron Paul as an individual, I also passed out flyers and DVDs I purchased door to door to help promote Ron Paul’s campaign. I’ve never been very political. I think the fact alone that Clinton has received the most from lobbyists, should eliminate her from being the choice of the American people. Obama was my choice initially, being raised a democrat. But now, like many other previous Obama supporters I have become a Ron Paul advocate. I only hope that my lack of support for Obama, doesn’t let Hillary win. I don’t think any other republican candidate has a chance against Hillary, except Ron Paul. Democrats will not switch parties to vote against Hillary if their only choice is McCain or Romney. The only candidate worth switching parties for is honestly Ron Paul. And a republican win would require a lot of people who have already decided they want republicans out to change their mind.

Thank you for posting this. I am amazed at the media’s pedestrian ‘conservative’ approach. Here they have a chance to really shake things up by telling the voters that Ron Paul raised more than double the amount of other republicans. But they choose to pass..why?!!!

Fellow citizens of the United States:
Please do not vote for McCain, he is no different than Bush, and personally we have all had enough of Bush. McCain has no morals or integrity research his role in Keating Five. McCain has no clue about the economy, and has admitted it himself. He falls back to all his circle of friends, lol… McCain will allow illegals to infest our country, and give them amnesty, he also wants to take away your freedom of speech and right to protest (1st Amendment). McCain would initiate a draft, and increase taxes as would Hillary. If you are torn between Romney and McCain, think again, think about the only Republican (Ron Paul) who has always voted using our Constitution, not much has been said about him, except lies and smear propaganda, and that he can’t win. The media has forever called him a long shot, and that he doesn’t have a chance, do you believe the media? Ron Paul outraised all the other Republicans for campaign donations during the 4th quarter, and did not create campaign debt as did McCain and Romney. I listened to the media for a long time, and then I woke up, and started doing the research. What our country needs right now in order to boost our economy is to stop the spending overseas, we must bring that money home, and also cut our taxes, that would stimulate our economy in a very short time.
With the warmongering and foreign spending that Bush has burdened us with we are broke, and yes we are in a recession. McCain and Romney would continue this, as would Hillary and Obama. We have to stop this before we are totally owned by China, which I might add we are very far in debt to China already because of this war and spending.
Before you vote please do yourself a favor and go to Ron Paul’s web site, educate yourselves, and stop listening to the media, do not let the media lie to you anymore. Ron Paul is the real deal in order to get this country back on it’s feet again. We must stop the war spending first, we must secure our borders & stop amnesty, we must maintain a strong military defense here at home, we must have a President that will abide by our Constitution, and restore the laws of our land again. We must put responsibility back to the Governors of each State, and let them govern. As it stands now, most State Governors want our Federal Government to do their jobs for them, and that must stop now, we cannot expect a President to make decisions for the States. Please learn the role and responsibilities of the Federal government and the President before you vote. Ron Paul knows what will make our economy thrive again, he understands economics more than any of the other candidates both Dems & Repubs. Help to make our country whole again, please consider Ron Paul, please consider our Constitution. I am ex-military, and I support Ron Paul for the right reasons, it’s called integrity and principles. I love my country and our people, but I do not support the current foreign policies of Bush, we as a nation cannot afford it, nor can our soldiers and their families. We need to bring those dollars back home for the good of the people in the United States, that one change alone could stop this country from an economical collapse, which should scare you more than terrorists, if that happens, yes indeed the terrorists and Bin Ladens of this world have won. I am very Patriotic, but do not believe in the Patriot Act, it has totally taken rights away from the American people, some of you just don’t know it. Stop being so scared of so called terrorist threats, there are none, the only threat we have right now is coming from south of the border with drug lords, and gang members, and our government openly allowing this by not securing the borders and kicking out all the illegals. Knowledge is power, and fear is silencing, stop letting them scare you and start learning. Wake up America, and stop wasting your tax dollars and mine. Voting for anyone other than Ron Paul will get you exactly what you have been getting from Bush, so vote smart people.
For you McCain fans, if I have said something about your candidate that is incorrect, please disprove me, and give me the references so that I may decide for myself. I live in California and the endorsement from Arnold is no different than a Liberal minded Democratic endorsement. Also McCain does this big sad story of a soldier whose mother is illegal, give me a break as well as my pocketbook, don’t ask me to support her with my tax dollars, social security, or government funding, I can barely feed my own family the way the economy is, I cannot afford to support illegals as well. Last time I checked it was against our laws to be an illegal immigrant, and requires immediate deportation no matter who your child is. If her child wants his illegal mother to live in the states she can be deported and processed through LEGAL IMMIGRATION, and the military son or daughter can pay for it, we can still be humane about it, but we are not responsible for illegals. WE THE PEOPLE should not have to foot the bill. By the way I am a Hispanic but my family migrated to this country LEGALLY generations ago.
Thank you for reading.

Would you care to enlighten us on specific instances where President Bush has failed to abide by the Constitution and our laws? And would you please list, specifically, what rights have been take away from the American people through the Patriot Act.

Regardless if you are a republican or a democrat you cannot deny that neither party has produced a viable candidate that represents their party values and supports the constitution of the United States of America. It has become a popularity contest, the majority of the nation has become lazy and relies on the media instead of research to tell them who is the best person for the job. If you want the government to take care of you then vote for any of the front runners in the polls, they are all the same.
Slavery is the price of ignorance.

Ahhh where to start
The Patriot Act- Can strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights by ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an “enemy combatant.”
Bush can order indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.
Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.
Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.
Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed “terrorist.”
Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court. And have you heard of water boarding?

Don’t rely on the media waving the flag bringing this to your attention…

Support the troops, bring them home!

To the person wondering how Bush does not follow the U.S. Constitution, let’s start with the drug war.
The feds may only regulate interstate trade, not abolish it, or regulate intrastate trade. The feds may not take private property without due process of law and just compensation. The feds may not interfere with the obligations of contracts. the 4th amendment has been gutted.
This is only the tip of the iceberg on the drug war. Of course, Obama and Clinton are no better on this issue than Bush.
The alcohol prohibition required an amendment, so does drug prohibition.
Vote Ron Paul.

James Danley:
Dave answered the question regarding the Patriot Act. Thank you Dave. So now I will answer the question asked about Bush not abiding by the Constitution:
1. Bush has publicly said this about our Constitution: “It’s just a G_d damn piece of paper”.
2. When our troops were sent to Iraq, it was not done with a Declaration of War which can only be granted by the Congress of the United States, which is totally going against our Constitution, so you can actually blame our Congress too, with the exception of Ron Paul who openly spoke out and said no, and also voted no to giving the President unconstitutional powers to go to war period.
I can continue, but I am just so shocked you all have not been paying attention. I guess when our country collapses and the Ron Paul supporters have prepared their families for the collapse we will have the last laugh at some of the people who put Hillary or McCain in office.

Obama is getting donations because he makes a lot of promises. He also promises the biggest increase in spending of all the candidates. (Here’s a clue: he’s spending our tax dollars.)
Clinton’s making promises to lobbyists.
Ron Paul is making another kind of promise: freedom from high taxes and the wars and welfare states they finance.
But he never fails to preface his promises of freedom with a statement about how freedom means taking personal responsibility. If you want the government to take care of you, vote Clinton or Obama. If you want to take personal responsibility and freedom, vote RON PAUL.

Support the troops…vote for Ron Paul!
Ron Paul is the only candidate that will reverse our disastrous foreign policy and end the illegal, immoral, unconstitutional wars.
Obama talks a good game, but he works for the globalist/New World Order cabal the Council on Foreign Relations. He will continue the Bush/CFR agenda, which is to join the US, Canada and Mexico into the North American Union (NAU). The next step is the one-world fascist government, the New World Order.
Ron Paul is the only candidate who will stop the NAU and the NWO. Ron Paul is the best presidential candidate this country has ever seen. Let’s give him the chance to be the best President we’ve ever had.

Every dime I could afford to give has gone to Dr. Ron Paul. Never have I been so touched and inspired by a candidate’s views about our government. I finally know what I am…a Constitutionalist, and I am proud to be associated with this man and his stellar, genuine, freedom-loving campaign. I have learned more about politics and the original principles of this great country in the last few months than I ever did in school or elsewhere. I get it now and I’ll never go back. I will be fighting this great fight long after this election cycle. Ron Paul has changed my life. I’d give my last penny if campaign rules allowed it because it is not just about this campaign or Dr. Paul. I’d be giving my money to the America I love and her Constitution.
Restore the Republic!!

Tess, you wrote: “When our troops were sent to Iraq, it was not done with a Declaration of War which can only be granted by the Congress of the United States, which is totally going against our Constitution.”
The War Powers Act of 1973 has yet to be declared unconstitutional. Sec. 2. (c) states:
“The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.”
Sec. 3 (a) of The Authorization For Use Of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 (passed by Congress and signed by President Bush), states:
“(a) AUTHORIZATION .—The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to—
(1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and
(2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq. ”
This is a specific statutory authorization passed by Congress, which meets the requirement in the War Powers Act of 1973.
Now then, our invasion of Iraq was an extension of the original 1991 Gulf War, which never had a truce. A cease fire was declared provided Saddam Hussein complied with a number of conditions. He failed to comply with any of these conditions. The UN Security Council gave Saddam Hussein 12 years to comply. Finally in 2003 the UN Security Council issued a final ultimatum. When it became clear that the UN Security Council would not follow through on its ultimatum, President Bush issued his own. When Saddam Hussein refused to comply, President Bush ordered the invasion — as authorized by The Authorization For Use Of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002, Sec 3 (a) 2. And the cease fire of 1991 ended.
Now as for Dave’s response, these appear to be taken right out of the MoveOn.org – George Soros — ACLU talking points.

James,
Very nice that you can copy and paste but you refuted your own argument. Congress can Declare War. No section of the Constitution allows them to transfer that authority to anyone (including the President). If what you were saying were true (it’s not) then there would be nothing preventing any branch of government from transferring any Constitutional power to another party (like in the Roman Empire). It’s unconstitutional to transfer a Constitutionally delegated power to another branch of government.
You can talk about the UN all you want (or any other liberal talking point for that matter) but that doesn’t make it Constitutional. Whether there is a UN resolution or not, if Congress doesn’t declare war, it’s not Constitutional.

Franklin, my point is that Congress gave President Bush the authority to go to war. Until the War Powers Act of 1973 is ruled unconstitutional it is the law of the land!

I switched from Democrat to Republican to vote for Ron Paul in the Florida primary. The media has suppressed almost all news about Dr. Paul. To the unobservant, one would think the man wasnot running at all! I think this is a travesty. After Huckabee drops out the media is going to have a hard time ignoring Dr. Paul.
Vote for the true protector of our people and our nation! VOTE FOR RON PAUL!

Another good story would be to explain why the media is hiding Ron Paul’s second place finish in Maine and his probable 1st place finish in Louisiana.

Ron’s ideology relating to government is not realist!
Here is the reason, mathematically, we know not all of the people can not employed. They will always be unemployed people, as long as we live in this world!
Please, any Ron Paul Supporter here to explain to me, if he will feel ok for his brother or sister who is unemployed to be come homeless?
I am voting for Obama!

Jason Schade, don’t waste your vote!
Ron Paul can’t be nominated, you better vote for Obama, when your time comes!
Ron Paul’s government ideology deoesn’t make sense!
Here is why: In our society, there will always be unemployed people! Statically or mathematically, that’s right fact!
So, tell me, if you would want to see your unemployed brother or sister becomes homeless!

Why does this generation of journalist march to the goosestep of propaganda, image twisting, and fact fixing?
The simple significance of this story is that an anti-establishment, grassroots financed, constitutionalist running for President obtained more in contributions than all other candidates combined. And he did so as the only fundamentally sincere and principled anti-war candidate.
The fact that the author chose to include Obama in the story makes me not only laugh, but choke and vomit.
It is not a story about Barack Obama receiving the backing of the military donor. For in reality, Barack Obama has kissed the ring of just about every big monied interest on the face of the earth and the press knows it. And if you don’t think that translates into a long term committment, more arms sales and more Unruh like mother’s milk of politicking, then you are just plain stupid.
The media refuses to see the moment of a black candidacy for what it really is—something that was inevitable in a nation inhabited by decent people. But as far as this black candidate—well business as usual.

Brad said this:
Apparently eddie you never heard of private charitable giving. Taking care of the homeless is great and worthy cause. I have a monthly deduction from my checking account towards that very cause through a local organization.
What if the mount of money you provide is not enough to take care and feed the homeless ones?!?
Please shy way from Ron Paul! His liberterian ideology doesn’t make sense!
I love though his ideo of shutting down tthe federal reserve and end wars!
I believe Obama will turn out to be a good President!
Please, don’t waiste your time for Ron Paul, as the ruling elite can select him to be the President!

Thank you for reporting this. It is an amazing thing to think that our military is sending their money to Ron Paul. Perhaps instead of another yellow ribbon, I can stand behind the candidate our military wants.
This news needs to go main stream, but they would have to mention Dr. Paul to do so.

Eddie is the perfect reason to stem the tide of immigrants dumbing this country down. The man can barely speak english and is voting for Barak Obama because he does’nt want his brother to be unemployed?? What an idiot! See, these people have no idea what the constitution stands for or why this country became so powerful and here they are voting! LOL Unbelievable.

I have given 679.08 to Ron Paul. I have never donated money to a politician b4.
nor have I ever gone door to door for any politician b4. I honestly did not expect to do either of these things this year. PS he is also getting my tax rebate check when the government gets around to sending it out.
Go Ron Paul!!! Good luck 2morrow

Let me rephrase my response. I agree with you that the U. S. Constitution does not allow Congress to transfer their authority to declare war to the Executive Branch. That would require an amendment to the Constitution. But that is NOT what Congress did in 2003. Congress specifically gave President Bush the authority to use military force in Iraq IN ACCORDANCE WITH the War Powers Act of 1973.
With respect to Roe v Wade, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that a woman has a “constitutional right” to have an abortion. I, personally, believe their decision was wrong. But the U. S. Supreme Court is the FINAL say on this matter. So like it or not, until the U. S. Supreme Court overturns their earlier decision, it is the law.
Likewise with the U. S. Supreme Court’s decision on the separation of church and state. It boggles my mind that they could decide to separate religion from state, when doing so violates the intent of the First Amendment by placing limits on the free exercise of religion.
I do not believe that everything that the federal government is doing is in accordance with the Constitution. The Constitution actually limits the responsibilites of the three branches to only those responsibilities that are specifically mentioned. Everything else is supposed to be under the jurisdictional authority of the states. Education is a prime example. The federal government’s interference in education is contrary to the intent of the Constitution. I, personally, favor the abolishment of the Department of Education.
Re-distribution of wealth is wrong on many levels. But just on an economic level it is a disaster as it inhibits small business and the entrepreneurial spirit.
Restrictions on gun ownership clearly violates the Second Amendment.
The federal government forcing states to give (or not give) benefits to illegal immigrants violates the jurisdictional authority of the states. I strongly believe illegal immigrants should not receive free education and welfare because these benefits are encouraging more illegal immigrants to cross our border. In addition if we had the 1 million non-violent prisoners working out in the fields, then there would be no incentive for the migrant workers to cross our border.

This has to be the stupidest thing ive read all day:
In our society, there will always be unemployed people! Statically or mathematically, that’s right fact!
So, tell me, if you would want to see your unemployed brother or sister becomes homeless!
Tell me you’re not serious.
There are EMPLOYED people now that are homeless because of the housing crisis. Our dollar isnt worth crap and unless you vote for Ron Paul it isnt going to get any better.
These numbers represent new spending programs the candidates are proposing the government take on if they are elected president
Paul -150.1 billion (NOTE the neg sign)
McCain 6.9 Billion
Romney 19.5 Billion
Huckabee 54.2 Billion
Clinton 218.2 Billion
Obama 287 Billion

I read today that Bush has said he can attack Iran without having to go back to Congress. How can that be? From what I read here what they (foolishly) passed specifically said Iraq.

Ron Paul supporters: be sure to attend your precinct conventions to secure delegates. Read up on how your state’s delegates are selected. The only thing that matters is what happens AFTER the polls close….this is why Paul has many more delegates than the media says…he quite possibly got more delegates in Maine and Lousiana than anyone else, though he failed to win the popular vote….get my drift?

Tess, Congress did not give President Bush the authorization to “declare war.” They gave him the authorization to send troops into Iraq. Congress in essence declared war without actually formally declaring war! It is that simple.
I am not backing McCain, Romney or Huckabee. I wrote in “Dr. Condoleezza Rice” on my ballot. Regular readers of this blog know that I am hoping for a brokered Republican National Convention; and that the delegates will unite behind Dr. Rice. My “dream ticket” is Rice-Lieberman.
While many may deny it, we are in a war for the survival of Western Civilization. The Battle of Iraq is just one part of this war.

Obama is the man!

Ron Paul got over 2x as many military donations than Obama?!
You’d think McCain would get the military support since he was a POW. I guess it goes to show their is hope for intelligent foreign policy, individual liberties, free market, better health care, and less government overhead.

Finally some coverage of this very newsworthy fact! Thanks. I’m quite confident Paul will still win, but at what point will the mainstream news organizations finally get it? Hopefully this is a good sign towards that end.
And on the subject of change:
Change Is Not Enough.
I’m Revolting.
Thanks!

I think the headline needs to drop Obama from it considering Ron Paul has raised more money from military supporters than Romney, McCain, Huckabee, Clinton, and Obama combined.
He has also raised more money than any other candidate in Silicon Valley like from Tech Titans such as Apple, Microsoft, Cisco and Google.
In addition, many Wall Street brokerages are encouraging their clients to give to the Ron Paul campaign.
Now that’s a political punch!

Military personnel must swear an oath to defend the Constitution of the US against all enemies foreign and domestic. The largest of these enemies is the Govt itself.
Congress failed by allowing the President to go to war without a declaration of war. The Govt spies on Americans without warrents. Our Govt no longer abides by the Constitution because the facists have taken over and the people have traded their rights for this false sense of security.
It is the military who must carry out these illegal orders and they may realize they when they return they may be called upon to defend our country from its Govt.

Tess, I do understand from where you are coming. I just happen to believe that we are in the middle of World War III. That the terrorists want to destroy all of Western Civilization. Furthermore, it is my strong belief that the only way we can defeat the ideology that we are fighting is through the spread of democracy throughout the middle east. A thriving democracy in Iraq will be a roll model for its neighbors. And then, hopefully, Iraq’s neighbors will also turn towards democracy. But in addition to the spreading of democracy, it is imperative that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict be solved. The two-state solution — both Israel and a democratic state of Palestine living side by side — along with the spreading of democracy throughout the area, is our best chance at achieving true peace in the Middle East.
Bringing our troops home precipitously from Iraq, will allow al Qaeda to claim a military victory against the United States. And THAT will encourage them to step up plans for further attacks, not only in the United States but throughout the world. And Iraq could become a safe haven for launching the attacks.
Incidentally, I am curious as to where are the calls for bringing our troops home from Bosnia, South Korea, Germany and Japan?
Now as for the United States experiencing a major economical collapse, without solving the Social Security and Medicare crisis, and soon, there is no question that we are headed for a total economical collapse. (And the Democrats want to exasperate the situation by spending hundreds of billions of dollars more annually with their universal health care plans.) I believe that the Fair Tax is a likely solution to that problem. Allowing individuals to keep ALL of their paycheck will generate spending. AND with a portion of the 23% federal sales tax going towards Social Security and Medicare, that will fund the entitlements for existing and soon to be beneficiaries. Then possibly allowing individuals between the ages of 18-40 to opt out of Social Security would mean a decline in future beneficiaries.
BUT the problems facing us domestically will pale in comparison should the terrorists ever acquire WMDs. Our economy was dealt a huge blow due to the attacks of 9/11. Imagine what would happen to our economy should 100,000 to 1 million Americans be killed in a series of attacks with WMDs. And a nuclear attack (or attacks) would render much of the surrounding area(s) non inhabitable for decades.

jason – you need to increase McCain’s, Obama and Hilary, because you got take into accountwhat they want to spend on illegals
Did any one notice that the so called big business that gets accused of running the republican donated more to the dems, ummm is that because it is the dems that are controlled by them? I know you libs cant see thetruth if it bit you!

We’re still dealing with the “tyranny lite” of the entrenched two-party system and what is essentially the corporate media’s total control of our election process.
Did you really feel that you had a choice in this process?
Between the coverage blackout and debate exclusion of Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, and Mike Gravel, and the marginalization of several others like Edwards, after less than 20% of our total electorate even got to the poll or caucus, who WAS actually in control of that dog and pony show??
We need a different system in the worst way- Ranked Choice or Instant Runoff Voting, an electoral system that is truly open to other parties and voices, like Greens and Libertarians, and a debate process given back to non-partisan interests! That’s what I’m voting for this year instead of a cult of personality. Because, it’s just going to keep getting worse unless we draw a line here and work toward taking back our democratic republic.
We’ve sacrificed lives and our economy to give the Iraqi people a democracy, a multiparty democracy at that, and deny it to our own nation! The time to work for more than just one man or woman as a candidate for more of the same is now, folks! Start writing and speaking and voting out now- voting third party or independent is a good start.

Doug, I don’t fear the Islamic terrorists. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. BUT they are a great concern and we should not dismiss their threat.
Now then you wrote: “…how about we take our troops from the rest of the world, not just Iraq and bring them home to defend our borders against terrorists…” So you would prefer that we wait for the terrorists to bring the battle back to our homeland — with IEDs, suicide bombings and possibly WMDs on Main Street USA? (That will do wonders for our economy!!)
I subscribe to the notion that the best defense is a great offense. I prefer that we battle the terrorists wherever they are. And try to defeat them ABROAD before they have a chance to bring the battle back to our homeland.

CGB, Ron Paul does want to do away with social security, you got that right. what he is NOT going to do is pull the rug from under the people collecting it. he wants to give the younger americans to option to opt out of it and pay into the retirement of their choice. i, for example have been working since i was a teenager and thus have paid tens of thousands into social security, money that will not be there for me when i need it. i have known this for a while and have set up my own fund to collect from when i am your age. all the while i’m stil having S.S. deducted from my check. you will have all the benefits you paid for in your lifetime, and i will have the choice to pay my own way in ron pauls gov. besides, nobody would be worrying about the baby boomers bankrupting S.S. if the gov. would stop wasting that money on the war and other expenditures. that is the cookie jar of the people who have worked all their lives to invest in, not the cookie jar of the cookie monster aka-the gov.

James Danley, You wrote this in a comment to someone “So you would prefer that we wait for the terrorists to bring the battle back to our homeland — with IEDs, suicide bombings and possibly WMDs on Main Street USA?” That would be horrible. But, you have to step back and see, are we even fighting terrorists in Iraq? No. We are preventing a civil war from breaking out, between the shiites and the sunis. (spelling errors im sorry) Fine if we want to go after Al Quidea and Bin Laden, but we aren’t doing that. We are promoting democracy in Iraq not fighting terrorists. If we would beef up our defence at home theres no way terroists would be able to do the things that happen in Iraq every day here in America. Know the facts.

Wow! I am not quite sure who you are James Danley, but sure seems like I must have opened someone’s eyes when I posted a link to some truth in one of my previous post to you. I couldn’t wait to hear your comment on the link I had provided, but ABC deleted it out, wonder why? Whoever moderates these blogs censored my post and deleted very important information. Censoring and deleting something from a post simply shows me that I am right, and the media does not want the American public to know the truth, even when it is old reporting they did regarding Iraq years ago. Simply Amazing, have a great day all, especially you James Danley.
Ron Paul for the win!!
For the NON Ron Paul supporters I hope you have prepared yourselves for the downfall of our economy, while our troops are out being slaughtered in order to save us from so-called terrorist threats. Our country is wide open for a hostile take over right now, and our country is afraid of a few extremists that most certainly want us out of their region, we have made matters worse people, and it may already be too late. I am not being a doom and gloom bringer, I am telling you the truth, which you will not hear of in our media.

What motivates terrorist according to the 9/11 Commission, the CIA, and many other terrorism experts? Our current and past foreign policy. Taking away their motivation would take away 90% of the “terrorist” problem. These people see the bomb fragments with USA stenciled on, and they actively engage us in war. Because we are the world’s preeminent military power, they use assymetric warfare against us because it is the most effective tactic with their resources. We label them as terrorist as a war propaganda technique.
For those who wish to become more scholarly about terrorism, check ou Harvard dean Louise Richardson’s articles & books on the subject.

Honestly, it floors us here in Canada, and from what i can tell, around the World! America has a CHANCE at restoring it’s image and moral standing through Senator Obama, yet chooses Clinton? My American Friends always want to BORROW my Canadian Flag pins while travelling, to disguise their Nationality! Yet, they pass up an honest, fresh, start, for “Clinton Soap Operas”! you’ll NEVER make it in your General with her…mark my words!

I think both the Republicans and Democrats stink! The Republicans stink because they help make the rich richer and the poor poorer and if theirs a war around the Republicans will find it. The Democrats on the other hand prior to an election promise that they will help the poor and get us out of the wars that the Republicans got us into and after their elected they forget the poor and support the war the Republicans got us into.

Dear Mr. James Danley
Unfortunately humans are born with a disease. This disease is not called Nationalism, this is why politicians still wear their National suits while in public.
Like a wolf in sheep clothing they will create laws and policies that reflect current UN resolutions without admitting that the same international banking cartel that financed both sides of both world wars, the League of Nations, the then recycled United Nations, and the puppets that have been indoctrinated through their educational institutions.
All the while PR’ing for positive public opinion through (just google “spiderman” space “united nations” enter) Marvel Comics for starters.
Then you have the “rothchild” space “live earth concert” enter.
Unfortunately, I can give you documented examples that date back before any of us where even born, but for the sake of stimulating conversation, I purpose that you may want to verify these googled accusations and understand that the consolitation of government powers always was and still is “global governance” regardless of what David Rockefeller denies he penned in his book Memoirs, (Page 405) in which he published through New York: Random House, in 2002.

LOL.
The Bush Pentagon is casting doubt on the dems, meanwhile the rank and file soldiers are sending them cash!
Priceless.
