Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) on House Iraq Resolution

[madembalmer2007]

Why are we determined to follow a foreign policy of empire building and preemption which is unbecoming of a constitutional republic....why indeed Dr. Paul...

Thank you telling the truth...God belss.

[watchingtvisgood]

This is why I think Ron Paul is a great man. We don't agree on a lot, but I admire him because he was one of the very few people to look the Iraq War in the eye on day one and say "No".

[vet4ronpaul]

ron paul rocks!!!!!!!!!

[Buckeyes1647]

At the end of that, Ron Paul wanted to kick some ass.. lol GO RON PAUL!!

[darrenpollard1st]

Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate that faces the real issue. Vote Ron Paul, it's what the doctor ordered!

[Philosophobia]

The most consistant, honest, and loyal candidate. Ron Paul is the champion of the Constitution. VOTE RON PAUL 2008!

[xCannabisKingx]

Get something straight, Hilary is a liar. 10/10/02 she made a speech ecouraging the war on iraq, she was for the war, and only against it "now" for the best of her election. its what asshole candidates do and lie, unlike ron paul who is very informing, honest, and on the dot with his speeches, its truth. Ron Paul is the shit, plain and simple and to you idiots who oppose him, put yourself in our soldiers shoes you sick motherfuckers and bring them home. its an unconstitutional war and thats that

[sneakycobra]

Hats of to you. But tell me honestly will it make any difference. President JFK passed an order against the illegal war being imposed on vietnam. Look what happened to him and his brother. CIA under the controls of the neo cons are ripping the world to shreds.

[KagarBeardtooth]

Not surprising. JFK said that it would be one of his goals as President to dismantle the CIA, and then he was assasinated.

[Dogwarrior]

If we get out of the Middle East terrorist have no reason to attack us. We are supposed to be in Iraq teaching democracy. Democracy is government run by the will of the people. If we want to teach democracy to the Iraqi people... let them vote their will... Do they want the Americans in Iraq or do they want us to go home. If they want us to stay we stay, if it is their will that we go home, then how can we teach democracy without respecting the will of the Iraqi people, and going home.

[nocheenlatierra]

This is probably the best foreign policy speech by Ron Paul, and that's saying a lot.

[o0xst]

Replacing the war in Iraq with a war on the weak is not a good thing. The Heritage Foundation wants to rip "General Welfare" out of the constitution and it looks as if they have found their man who will do so.

[Sideburns1986]

I didn't realize entitlement programs were included in the constitution. :-/

[peacenik2]

Please send him to Australia first andy ... I so hope US vote for him ... he seems the only decent guy there.

signed

concerned over US foreign policy and the threat it poses to world peace.

[ticklemegangrene]

Exactly peacenik2,

If Muslims want religious governments let them have it. It's their choice.

The fact is that current and past US administrations have supported tyrants/dictators in that part of the world for a long time NOT because they want secularism (which really isn't anyones choice but Muslims) but because its easier to deal with 1 dictator/tyrant then with a whole foreign political system.

[andyst6]

If americans are stupid enough NOT to vote Ron Paul 08 send him to Candada, we could use him right now too!

[iltfdv]

[ggadguy]

If you want to keep spreading the good message of Dr. Paul, hand out some Liberty Cards, which are available at LibertyCard . org

Thanks!!!! GO RON PAUL!

[AveAtqueVale7]

You're the man, Ron Paul!

[forgetsalot]

The best thing you can do to help Ron Paul is join the Republican party so you can vote in their primaries. Anyone who likes what they see here should go to their site and do just that. It takes no more than 2 minutes.

[DWSUWF]

funny you should mention that. My recent blog post comments on the virtues of changing Parties as often as you change underwear. Just changed Republican myself, for exactly this reason. Click on my blog at DWSUWF dot com to check it out.

[atskater99]

owans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance will host a presidential candidates forum on Saturday, June 30th in Des Moines. Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback, Jim Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo will participate.

Ron Paul, however, will not participate. Why? Because he wasn't invited.

Prevent the banning of Ron Paul from future debates- Protect free speech and the Constitution. Sign the petition and support Ron Paul here: go to infowars dotcom to sign the petition.

[rc5150rc]

Hey, as for running mates, what about Chuck Hagel? I don't know a lot about him, but I know he's regarded as a libertarian-leaning conservative, and has been outspoken about the war and other BushCo activities.

Google: Ron Paul RNC petition -and sign it to stop the Repubs from banning RP from the debates.

[DWSUWF]

Sounds good. As long as Chuck is on the top of the ticket.

what if al gore and ron paul ran against each other? for once it would be the better of two goods

[uchinanchu808]

we need ron to get his own media coverage. there blacking him out on abc and cbs.

[ljrow49]

God Bless Ron Paul for President. Goof Bush couldn't hold his jock strap!

[Hornj21]

What I really like to see in that left, right and middle are supporting Ron. Do you think that if Hillary in elected it is going to unite the country? Not a chance. Same old game. we have had for the last twenty years. America can do better than the Clintons and Bushes.

[Incongruent]

Very true.

[rockstarofredondo]

Ron Paul is THE MAN.....so is Alex Jones. Who can be Ron Paul's running mate? NOBODY out there is even good enough.

He was the only one speaking of real conservative American principles @ the debate.

[uncleoracle]

mike gravel/ron paul 08

[illuminatioflight]

No.... Ron Paul... Mike comes second.. Ron has gotten this stance from the American people in the know because he is a true American as the Constitution was designed to be weilded by.

[bamabud]

Get this guy on the news shows. Email all the major news shows and ask them why they are not interviewing Ron Paul. You can find the email addresses on "FAIR's Media Contact List." On October 8, 2002, Ron Paul said, "But I have come to the conclusion that I see no threat to our national security. There is no convincing evidence that Iraq is capable of threatening the security of this country, and, therefore, very little reason, if any, to pursue a war."

[buxlism]

Love this guy. "Resorting to a medical analogy, a wrong diagnosis was made at the beginning of the war and the wrong treatment was prescribed. Refusing to reassess our mistakes and insist on just more and more of a failed remedy is destined to kill the patient-in this case the casualties will be our liberties and prosperity here at home and peace abroad."

-Chad

[DWSUWF]

Yeah. It is going to be real fun watching him at the Republican debate next with Chris Matthews moderating. Can't wait.

[OsamaBinForgotten2]

America is dangleing from a thread,this generation has to stand up and change the direction, that both of the parties, republican and democrat, are going. President Bush stated his constitutional right to veto legislation-We too have constitutional rights that need to be reinstated. We the people are responsible for keeping our government in control, not them keeping us in control. Ron Paul needs our help-one on one.

[yesgyes]

never dreamed i would agree with a republican.

i would vote for this guy, in a heartbeat..

[burbonboy]

Vote for RON in 08' or AMERICA will continue to die

[PapaSmurerf]

Dr. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who is avid and sincere about getting rid of unConstitutional Aunt IRS and her unConstitutional brother the Federal Reserve in addition to restoring sound money to the citizenry of this Republic. The US Dollar is a farce and fraud and from it emanates most of this country's current woes.

Ron Paul for President in 2008!

If you're not registered to vote in the Republican primary in your state, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do so and Vote!

PapaSmurerf

[MiddleClassified]

Nicely done Dr.Paul.

"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."

[TERRAN1212]

Him, Gravel, and KUCINICH are the only people with any integrity left running. The rest are vapid warmongers who have enormous blood on their hands.

[naturewalkz]

HE'S GOT MY VOTE!!

[JimmyFartpants]

Send Ron Paul a few bucks, and volunteer to help him win in 2008. I did.

America *needs* him. And he needs our help.

[blocist]

he sounds coherent. that should be a lesson to everyone. you can be intellectually sound, and still be a blithering fucking idiot.

[Zolfiqar05401]

I say : No to Hillary, no to Barak, and yes to this sensible representative. The way to go Congressman, good luck in the year 2008

[lominho]

Put this man in charge guys!!!

[kazdoe]

Can this country really rise from the ashes and elect a man like this? I am black and I would easily vote for him over Obama and especially Clinton II. He brings kahunas to the game. Let us not get it twisted, we still got to work NOW like this is our last chance for our children. We about to bomb another country? Impeach George Bush! It may get so bad (soon)where no man can stop this escalation of madness.

[ErnestAnastasio]

If a democrat says what Ron just said, he'd probably be labeled "unpatriotic" and other asinine terms. Now that a republican says this, it carries far more meaning. I'd like to see Ron be the republican candidate for '08.

[condorman65]

WOuld you realy vot for him or are you beholden to the Democrati Party?

[DWSUWF]

Not sure if this was directed at me, but I'll answer anyway. I am beholden to no party. I am registered as a Democrat because it is the only game in town in SF politics. Nationally, I am committed to voting to maintain divided government. In 2008 this means voting for a R President.

So to answer to your question, yes I would certainly vote for Ron Paul. My first choice in 2008 is Chuck Hagel (R), because I think he has a better chance of winning the general election.

[CurtHowland]

I like how he blasts both "left" and "right" for starting wars. There's not a lick of difference between the two of them, they are just two faces of the Party of State Power.

[phaedis]

Strange to be saddened by the lone voice of reason in our Congress. Ron Paul speaks the truth and he shall, like many of those who have done so before him, be martyred for it. Liberty is dead, long live Liberty!

[DWSUWF]

Martyred? Liberty dead? A bit melodramatic don't you think? And a bit premature on both counts. If an Arkansas governor can become President, a Texas congressman can become President. Get off your ass and start working for Ron Paul or Chuck Hagel for President.

[Nautilus3333]

Paul is magnificent, he's been consistently right, consistently constitutional, and consistently honest. Ron Paul all the way!

[marcusborg83]

Like the speech! Ron paul 2008!

[babbittd]

Ron Paul for President!

[k1e0x]

Whoa.. I love this guy. Thank you for posting this.
