Republican Debate last night

[x0847Marine]

These debates should be run the Westminster Kennel Club; the hacks handlers run them around on a leash .. to show off how shiny & well groomed they are, then go center stage to display how well they can bark on command, in the proper order... meanwhile adoring party slaves cheer them on in the background.

Questions about abortion; 3 barks & wagging tail for "No", 2 woofs and a growl for "Yes"

Gay marriage: lift leg, wag tai &l 1 woof for "yes", squat and lay a loaf for "no"

For each correct answer, the candidate will be rewarded with the proper treat and allowed to lick his nuts for 5 min.

Although after the "Bill Clinton Incident" pictured below during the test run, the networks are a bit reluctant...

Hilts, the US has the biggest fist on the planet, militarily and economicaly.  Where's the weakness?
The critical point would be proper intel to decapitate any offensives just before they happened (smoking gun for the masses to see).

So Ron Paul really was set up by FOX?  The audience looked a bit special.

i submit that 5 minutes of nut licking is way too long - after one minute, whatever was there that may have been worthwhile is either gone for good or there to stay.

What Ron Paul said is not a fabrication, or an untruth.  

As long as we are beholden to fossil fuels to run our economic engine, we will find ourselves entangled on the broken blade of that idiotic religion that runs every aspect of every cheapened ignorant life in the middle eastern region.  

I would rather make oil obsolete with new technologies, than continue to lose precious american souls trying to maintain control over those regions that produce the pollution causing fuels that feed our economy and our military.  Too bad our leadership seems to be so blind to this reasoning.

Spot on.

p.s.  I say, put the O'Club in charge.  It would be more interesting than reading about our current politicians.  We got dogs humping, charges of being "idiots," evaluative mechanisims, in some cases, that beg description.  Can I write in AH O'Club for president?

a shift towards the "non-interventionist foreign policy" RP espouses.  

Ron Paul said "Noninterventionism is not isolationism. Nonintervention simply means America does not interfere militarily, financially, or covertly in the internal affairs of other nations. It does not mean that we isolate ourselves; on the contrary, our founders advocated open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.  

Thomas Jefferson summed up the noninterventionist foreign policy position perfectly in his 1801 inaugural address: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none."

Washington similarly urged that we must, "Act for ourselves and not for others," by forming an "American character wholly free of foreign attachments.""

what specifically does this mean policy-wise, aside from a timely and safe military withdrawl from the region(not just Iraq)?  Aside from addressing foreign aid (basically, stopping it) I'm not exactly sure.

that would be great if it was still 1796 or 1801 but the world and its entire structure is not the same nor should our policies be. Back in those times we had nothing to fear that was not on our shores, that is not the case today. The oceans are not the buffers they were over TWO HUNDRED years ago...nor is this country or its ppl the same.

afraid of what? I'm all for closing our n & s border and booting out every illegal rodent that is in this country now but do not feel we need to withdraw our forces that have been stationed around the world since ww1. Sorry RP just isn't the alternative to the two party system many, including myself, are seeking.

Eagler,

You're right the world has changed.  I don't think people have changed much.  

Also in todays instant travel, there's no way to make America 100% safe.  No country is.

I do think that we wrong if we continue to be oil dependent in the sense we are today.

We'll be wedded to the troublesome middle east for as long as we need them.

I'd like to see us go back to producing what we consume.  That's another matter entirely.  One that none of the candidates of either party are addressing.  That unfortunately won't change in my lifetime I expect.

how can you say that? you think the average Joe has the same priorities and mindset now that they had over 200 years ago? do you think America is the same as it was then? I don't think they were worried about illegals from mexico or cheekboness from the ME back then, do you?
the US and the world has grown and is 180 degrees out from what it was back in Washington & jeffersons times. many changes were for the better with probably just as many for the worse.

the people in here who think its impossible,  for our "government" to hide the truth,  lie to us, or kill us,  you r exactly what they want for citizens, they have lied to us , the have killed us.   they will do whatever "they feel is necessary". to stay in power.     and i feel sorry for those of you who's eyes are closed to the truth.
   call me "crazy" call me whatever you want, i belive that satan is alive in this world, and is the "god" of this world. i blame him, he is the one i hate not Bush.

Still waiting for your link to credible explanations of how the Feds blew up the WTC on 9/11.

Take your time.

BTW, I feel sorry for the ones whose eyes are blinded by their too large tin foil hat dropping so far down past their eyebrows it covers their lips.

Ink, give up now. If Eagler thinks you're crazy (who's a bona fide, iron-clad, lunatic), you're definitely screwed.
