No problem. I like Mike.

Obama says he is going to change the country and then change the world.

i know someone that did that, his name was Adolf.

IMHO Huckabee isn't as distasteful as the other two, but he's no Ron Paul. Between Huck, Romney and McCain, Huckabee is the most conservative, but that's not saying all that much... I do get the sense that his motivations are more or less pure, which I don't get from McCain or Romney.

If I were to pick a "lesser evil" at this point, it'd be the Huckster (now that Thompson has dropped out...) But I don't vote for lesser evils, principles mean something to me, so that's a moot point...

And what's the difference?

Wilson, FDR and Kennedy where our worse Presidents.

Whats the difference between Hitler and JFK? LOL

If only there had been a "no child left behind"-policy when you were in school. Then maybe...just maybe those pesky grammar errors wouldnt haunt you now.

You need to check your own before you criticize mine.

I don't give a damn about what a Swed thinks about our candidates anyway.

P.S. were...lol

Individuals in the Army, Navy and Air Force made those branches of the armed services among the top contributors in the 4th Quarter, ranking No. 13, No. 18 and No. 21, respectively. In 2007, Republican Ron Paul, who opposes U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, was the top recipient of money from donors in the military, collecting at least $212,000 from them. Barack Obama, another war opponent, was second with about $94,000.

No, that's not it. Nobody knows?

By the way, are you seriously expecting people to quote multiple posts so that they can be sure that they don't mislead any readers who can't be bothered to read the thread?

john9001 · « **Reply #521 on:** February 05, 2008, 11:15:56 AM »

OK, the original post said that the troops were giving money to obama because obama said he would bring peace by getting out of Iraq, my obscure comment meant that getting out of Iraq will not bring peace, not to Iraq anyway.

sorry for the confusion, it was late.

It's all immaterial to what is incorrect about that sentence. I might as well tell you, but I was hoping that somebody else would point it out. Poland never surrendered to Germany.

heh, didn't catch that... I still stand by my counter, however...

In other news, over half a million American citizens voted for Ron Paul today. (EDIT: errrr, yesterday...) RP winning the GOP nomination is looking more and more far-fetched, but for Ron Paul to even get the number of votes that he has is somewhat encouraging, if you take a longer term view. Here's to the Ron Paul Republican movement! Restore the Constitution! Huzzah!

I would agree to the point that it is time to start bringing them home.
not all at once. but over the corse of the next several years.

I supported the war and still do.
But now they've done their job and done it well.
Its time to start handing Iraq back over to the Iraqis and letting them stand on their own two feet with us helping them along like a parent would help a toddler.
gradually letting them go more and more.
