Ron Paul vs. Giuliani on the Root Causes of Terrorism

[ruggerdgmail]

China is also not stronger than the USA Moron.

[athabascka]

Item 3 on al Qaeda's charge against the West is that we actually stopped the genocide and occupation of East Timor by Indonesia. Overthrowing the Shah of Iran has nothing to do with al Qaeda. The Iranians are Shia and al Qaeda are Sunni, they hate each other. And even so, who cares why they hate us? They're a medieval cult of death fighting for the restoration of a despotic theocratic empire. They don't deserve any excuses or sympathy.

[44warjunkie]

@athabascka i agree. I'm sick and tired of all these idiots who think that if we are just nice to them or if we make a sufficient attempt to reach out to them in friendship that they are going to forget their evil ways and learn to love us. Its almost like masochism it seems. Why are people so eager to buy into their own lies? I guess this mindset is the product of Western guilt.

[44warjunkie]

Muslims are convinced of the superiority of their culture, and obsessed with the inferiority of their power. One only wishes that Ron Paul was right, but he's not. As long as there are Muslims who think they know exactly how God wants everyone on earth to live (and there are no shortage of that), no amount of isolationism will deter armed conflict between Muslims and Infidels.

[MrMets80]

Ron Paul is the only man in politics which actually speaks the truth. He would make an excellent politician and put the rest to shame. I wish Americans would elect him so that the world can be a safer and better place. Islam is not against women in the work place or freedom! Muslims, like any other peoples, don't like America's foreign policy which is simply unjust. Americans should wake up and realise that what they do overseas matters for America in the future

[MrMets80]

America needs to understand that their unconditional support of Israel, their veto powers always exempting Israel from any international condemnation, their occupation of Muslim countries and the taking of resources and the dictators they support are what fuels hatred against the U.S. Its really not that complicated people. Rudy Giuliani is using fear as a political tool like Bush did for his 2nd term in office. How you treat others is how they'll treat you. Fear=num 1 for controlling minds

[BBobFrankk]

This is buggered up. The way the stupid audience just blindly applauds Rudy Giuliani.

[44warjunkie]

“Islam is not a religion rather an ideology, complete comprehensive way of life that ruled most of the world for nearly 1400 years. This contemporary jihad should aspire with the same breath of influence. Allah sent messenger Mohamed with the deem to dominate the earth and implement the justice of Islam. For this domination, the Muslims need a power base from which the another nations can be annexed. This power base is the establishment of the Islamic state, khilafah” – Sheik Omar Barki Mohamed

[007feedback]

Giuliani is a con artist . He is in it for the campaign donations .

As soon as he finished ripping off the retired old jews of Florida , he dropped out of the race

[Berzerkerevl]

when people talk about 9/11 reason and sanity go right out the window. lets keep fighting in the graveyard of empires shall.

[Berzerkerevl]

rudy guiliani was in a bunker somwhere during 9/11 . he didnt suffer like the victims.

[Berzerkerevl]

I cant believe grown men buy this they hate our freedom crap.

[jaskaram]

the truth conquers all, but it hurts like a mother sometimes

[Alphadestrious]

Ron Paul = More truth than most politicans I've heard in my opinion.

[USAdude30]

Ron Paul make far to much logical sense to be voted into office.

[flaunttnualf]

And the people who don't know their history eat it up.

[flaunttnualf]

Guliani illustrates his stupidity

[QuixoticM]

OMG Ron Paul just blew my mind.

[kirbienstien]

listen to that mindless uneducated crowd clap for Giuliani

[Crazyflew]

Why did Giuliani get such an amazing applause?

[flaunttnualf]

Because people have their heads up their asses. Sheep.

[xandras1111]

@Crazyflew

because most americans are morons

[theLement5]

drones poisoned by fox new and the fluoride in their tap water.

[hrharmer]

Quran, allah, hadiths, Mo.

Flush out all in the toilet, then the root of evil will vanished forever

[FlippyErik]

Ron Paul THE republican

[megamania500]

Who is right, Ron or Rudy? A study by The Defense Science Board confirms what Ron Paul says, and the U.S. Dept. of Defense and the Pentagon confirm that study. So Rudy is either ignorant or lying through his teeth.

[denimblueindigo]

If this debate had been held out on the street, Guiliani and the rest of the candidates would have stomped a mud hole in Ron Paul's ass!

[stuartpotty]

I admire Ron Paul for having the courage to speak the truth and despise Guiliani for just saying what the people want to hear

[Crisgo3d]

They both looked like idiots in this debate

[VivaMydick]

China is much stronger than US and yet it is peaceful and nobody attacks it .

[drzaiusman]

They're not really stronger. The idea of China being stronger than U.S due to China's pop is kind of silly. Though they have a strong economy, most of their people still in poverty. The government has to spend billions in order to feed and maintain the population. Their military apparatus is old and their training not up to Western standards.

[apoctalyptoV]

I don't beleive they are stronger than the US but will be in a short amount of time. Their military spending increases 40% per year!

[Ravengaurd6]

@VivaMydick *cough* tibet *cough*

[foeasy16]

@VivaMydick Because China has nuclear weapons and doesn't mess with Muslims cuz they know what an awful mistake it would be to fight a Muslim country.

[MrLecam21]

@VivaMydick dude where did you saw that were stronger... the total gdp may be increasing but it is still low in term of per capita. And regarding their military they are decades behind the us. I an army to army war they would not last long... However chinese foreign policy is non interventionist. Actually they do it in contrast to the us, they can simply say: "look we are better than them we do not bother you" this is how they are gaining influence.

[ruggerdgmail]

@VivaMydick You do have a good sense of Humor. Perhaps you should tell that to Taiwan. Idiot!

[VivaMydick]

@ruggerdgmail

China has 200 million people in active service asshole . They can easily deactivate all nuclear weapons by sending and blowing nukes to stratospheric realm

can 2 mil US army fight 200 mil Chinese ? I do not think so .

So do not get mislead how powerful US is . Not so powerful at all .

[VivaMydick]

@ruggerdgmail

US can only attack small countries and not without help :) They have been talking about attacking Iran for 10 yrs and still have no guts to do it , lol

want to have scalar technology torpedo going 450 miles an hour up your arse ?

[VivaMydick]

You have to be peaceful for peace not to fight for peace. Just imagine student who is trying to create peace by beating everybody up . It might work at first but then all of those student get together and beat the living shit out of that student .

[VivaMydick]

Giuliani is a criminal he needs to be placed immediately under citizens arrest

[ZOMGTHEOWTF]

Ron Paul is right!

[thimoneus]

Read the answer to Q2 of Bin Laden's letter to America to see how wrong Ron Paul is and to understand the long list of horribly unrealistic demands Al Qaeda has on the United States. Blaming America for its terrorism problem is like blaming a rape victim because her skirt was short and tight. And Paul is really a dolt for comparing our justifiable presence in the Middle East to an unjustifiable terrorist presence in the United States. That guy is nowhere near qualified to be the president.

[MooseOfReason]

"They attack us because we've been over there; we've been bombing Iraq for ten years."

"What would we say here if China was doing this in our country or the Gulf of Mexico - we would be objecting..."

[thimoneus]

China would not have justification. A president needs to be able to see that difference.

[DavidDLPE]

You nailed it, except for one small point. Even though it would not justify rape, a woman wearing a short, tight skirt is not justifiable behaviour. Our presence in the Middle East is absolutely justifiable, as you said. A more accurate comparison would be to blame police for crimes being committed. Completely absurd.

[weimar13]

Your metaphor makes no sense.

[thimoneus]

It does to people who are able to understand it.

[apoctalyptoV]

no he is quite qualified. the usa has ravaged the middle east and dug into its politics. 9/11 was a message to you.

[thimoneus]

That "message" resulted in our overthrowing two terrorist governments and replacing them with democracies, which the religious fanatic dipshits whose plan backfired on them can't stand. The Middle East has a future of freedom, prosperity, and intellect now, and the world will benefit because that shit hole needs to be pulled out of the dark ages by no longer being a shit hole. The cultural advancement is on its way. That's right!

[thimoneus]

Oh, you're from Canada. No wonder your pussy is hurting. Would you rather me refer to your country as our fat little sister or our pilot fish?

[apoctalyptoV]

se normally i would take offence to that comment but you are obviously the stereotypical american we all make fun of. a dumb fuckin inbred hick. We're in Afghanistan with you, and chose not to go to Iraq because it is war based on bad intel and fear. You obviously have no knowledge of the Middle East or it's history. Have fun ass hole.

[thimoneus]

That does not qualify as a counterargument to anything I said. It is just an empty insult based on assumptions and an ignorant stereotype. Do you know what a counterargumet is, pilot fishie? Then prove it.

By the way, the possessive form of "it" does not have an apostrophe, genius. ;)

[apoctalyptoV]

O sorry! I made an error while taking 5 seconds to respond dear fucking god it is the end of the world!

Yes I know what a counterargument is, but why waste my time with you?

You clearly know nothing about the Middle East. Your President would like to get the troops in Iraq home in what 16 months? You broke, you bought it. Iraq is now your property until it can be maintained, meaning everything that is brooding between the people in Iraq must be dealt with to avoid civil war upon withdrawl

[thimoneus]

Oh good, more empty comments of jealousy. Yeah, we are not quite ready to withdraw from Iraq yet.

Why waste your time with me? Well, as long as you are talking to me (Wasting time?), you should give counterarguments. I see that you can't.

I posted on your page because your obsession with my country cracks me up. It is funny that you want to make your blood boiling jealousy so obvious, pilot fishie.

[apoctalyptoV]

what have i said that makes it seem that I am obsessed with your country?

I've been to your country and I like it but I also like the UK better. I've never been "jealous" of your country, nor any other country.

All i said was that i agree with ron paul, you must be more careful with what you do around the world.

[thimoneus]

If you had said it like that the first time, I wouldn't have messed with you about it.

[apoctalyptoV]

Be prepared to spend alot more money and waste the lives of more of your troops to maintain control. Afghanistan is a cluster-fuck, there will be no military victory there.

Thanks for posting on my profile Hick, who is obsessed with who now?

[cnuchavez84]

"an empty insult based on assumptions and an ignorant stereotype"

"Oh, you're from Canada. No wonder your pussy is hurting"

AMURIKAN

[thimoneus]

I'm glad you understood the point I was illustrating by playing back at the same game, which you started playing yourself.

[cnuchavez84]

started?

[thimoneus]

Unless you have been doing it for eternity.

[wizzallace]

HOW CAN YOU NOT BELIEVE THE US IS CORRUPT? at least the media, check the line of questioning, and the timing of that damn bell. and in the beginning..THE ONLY CANIDATE TO OPPOSE THIS WAR? COME ON

[jrmsher33]

giuliani sounds like bush. Wave the flag, spout dictorian rants with barely any hint of reality. He's an authoritarian bastard who has no rationality.

[apollodionysus7]

nice to hear some comments that are intelligent

the questions to ron paul seem almost to be baiting him... anyway, i really appreciate his courage

[ezpuffin]

"Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing." -- Dwight D. Eisenhower

[Flamekebab]

It's tragically funny how the US seems to yammer on about being Christian and yet when asked "how would you react if others treated you like that?" they get all offended.

Treat others how you yourself would want to be treated. Interfering arrogantly in world affairs is a very stupid. You can certainly take part, but you need to try to understand more than just your own perspective.

[coupons4baby]

There is no country more corrupt than the USA - sorry folks it needs to be said - the gov't, news media, insurance companies, religion there isn't one place I can think of that isn't busting with corruption - shameful shameful shameful - and the USA judges others - PLEASE wake up - VOTE RON PAUL - Please do something right!

[gpower07]

i dont think USA is corrupt, but i believe American people are arrogant and do not want to admit that they are wrong for the actions that they have taken. our country needs new leaders.

ron paul just speaks the truth and people feel all hurt like hes just raped them in the ass or something.

[sonofliberty76]

Ron Paul states the facts and he's 100% correct.

Change our Fate in 08!!! Vote Ron Paul.

Is Giuliani's middle name dumbass?

I think people like Rudy because his first and last name sound pretty cool together. Dumbass!

[TheStoicAgnostic]

rudy got claps because the audience is there for GOP so they are already 99.99% a bunch of mindless donkeys

if paul wanted claps

he just has to say, we were attacked on 9/11

keep it simple for the feeble minded

Rudy is a piece of shit with similar intelligence (to the piece of shit)

[xetlive]

Of course all the people in the audience clapped for Giuliani, The audience is made up of people with closed minds and deep pockets. Its obvious that their minds can't reason with true logic.

[taw77777]

sounded like lots of corrupt/blind people wanting to fight and die for Israel in the audience

[khaiel1]

WOW this man tells the truth and shows things from a different perspective. It's about time somebody was bold enough to say what he said. Most media dumbed down americans can't see through shit! Nobody asked why those buildings fell so neatly the exact same way. Jet fuel does not burn hot enough or long enough to bring down two 1,100ft skyscrapers. The american people need to wake their ignorant fat asses up!!

[magicred3]

Yeah, like the ones that founded this country, so putzes can sit around and blog on how they, and everyone else was/is so wrong, right? Let's place a friendly wager on your boy Ron Paul being our next President. I wonder what the odds are...

[skrabbler2]

I think FOX news rigged the applause on Giuliani. Or maybe they filled the auditorium with bible-thumping rednecks.

[skrabbler2]

Ron Paul is a wise wise man.

[PrimeTime21Goat]

why is there always a black guy supporting these old whities....is this seriously how old white men get kicks, standing around talking bullshit, maybe i should be president if it involves standing round, talking shit

[ORACLE063]

agreen - your so right. its quite sad. How do u defend a point? challenge patriotism. amazing. all the guy is saying point blank is that we kicked a bee hive and we are wondering why we got stung lol

[agreen182]

I cannot believe Guiliani got an ovation out of that. Talk about brainwashing, Paul was SPOT ON in his assessment of the cause of 9/11, Guiliani is nothing but a slimy politician using the specter of 9/11 to further his own agenda, nothing he says on the matter should be trusted at this point.

Paul has nothing to lose- anyone who thinks that the batch of idiots who ran the country for 12 years represent true Republican ideals needs to listen to Paul speaking- he is a TRUE republican.

[bebin16]

how did Rudolf Guliani get an applause from that. That actually scares the hell out of me that people have been that brainwashed in America. I understand it's hard for people to support Ron Paul because he is insulting America's policy and people take that as a personal attack. I honestly think Ron Paul will be known as one of the greatest people of our time. Wait and see.

[leoleeds32]

I agree, I am amazed that people are not more angry about us not getting out of this war. What he is saying is completely accurate a policy of non-involvement is exactly what we need.

Has anybody else noticed that all of these dictators are people we (USA) basically placed or supported to power? Our involvement at that level causes blow back

[magicred3]

Rudolph Guiliani broke the backs of the mafia that CONTROLLED New York City's judicial/law enforcement systems, in his time as " a tacky lawyer". Ron Paul? Who the hell is he? What has he done? Run his trap in the throws of his pipe dream? Rudy has nothing to prove.

[halberkstresser]

Fine work for a MAYOR......giving him more power because he was IN NYC on 9/11 would be redicullous.....and ORF COURSE he has something to prove - they all do

[UniversalBrother108]

propaganda at its best

[nyferrets]

Hello fellow american

Giuliani is out of control.

All we hear from him is 9/11, but do you remember Rudy before then?

WE sure do.

Check out what our fellow ferrets are saying about him:

Just Search for nyferrets on youtube

Yours truly,

mike

leader of the ny ferrets

member of ferrets for freedom

[MarimbaVirtuoso]

Wow, for a second, I was starting to believe that all Republicans had lost their minds (and their morals). But now, there's Ron Paul (and a few people in the audience who applauded him). If the republicans want any chance at all in 2008, they'll nominate Ron Paul.

Unfortunately, I don't know where he stands on many other issues. But judging from the sensibility and sincerity that I witnessed in this clip, I trust him.

[Jvirmc]

go gamecocks...go university of south carolina!

[whales]

Rudy is so full of shit. What a tacky lawyer chick

[Jvirmc]

i agree...its another way of him telling us that he was mayor of nyc during 9/11....i would rather have ron paul as pres than rudy.

[magicred3]

Well, Taco. How do you negotiate with terror? Tell us...If we don't intervene, do you know what's next? A dirty bomb across the border. Is that what you want? At least we're keeping them busy....

[Gaines]

Isn't it funny how people who can't manage intelligent conversation resort to name calling and fear tactics?

[Ringofire2]

Ron Paul for President. All other Republican candidates just want to continue the Bush Agenda. Wake up and smell the coffee. Read up on what has REALLY been going on in the Middle East.

[magicred3]

I'm sick of idiots like Maher and Paul high-jacking the Libertarian party. When will people wake up and realize the only negotiating that Ahmadinejhad and Bin Laden want is for all people and governments of the world to be under Islamic rule? I'm sure you God-hatin', WTO hatin', Libs will be standing in line for your Korans.

[WoodenTaco]

Hijacking? I'd like to know any Libertarians who think we ought to be militarily intervening around the world.

[alwaysending]

lol....i hear ya man, check out my videos...see what I got for those pussy's and Islam bullshit

[bizinessman123]

I'm surprised these guys talked as if Paul was wrong, he really wasn't! I think for such debates we need more NEUTRAL hosts and no crowd allowed. I think with crowd cheering their "favorites" it lowers the confidence of the others who want to express their reasons.

Paul The Man! But I do agree that the war in Afghanistan was justified, he should give his views on Afghanistan.

[No1RobLoweFan]

I've altho heard thome pretty abthurd eckthplanationth for the 9/11 attackth.

[amosmudd]

Let us vote right now for president. Ron Paul is the man.

[miggetymike1]

Rudy "I've never heard that explanation." What a bunch of B.S.

[geryx]

Rudy knew he was twisting Ron Paul's words, and those idiots in the crowd just ate it up.

Why do so many American's think that the Middle-East crisis is as simple as Good and Evil? People need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that we are not some angelic, flawless nation of God when it comes to foreign policy!

Yeesh.

[siguario]

Wow. Ron Paul is awesome and yes, Rudy needs to get his head out of his ass.

[KrazyKoreanGlock]

Rudy is a crying little bitch who never served in the military and want war. His own kids don't even support him.

[Rustystud]

he has balls and won't eat his words, even when some douche untillises the biased crowd.

[misfitt13888]

ron paul 2008

[LibertyAmerica]

You can't defeat terrorism by going to war against the nations that terrorists operate in. This only kills lots of innocent people, stirs up more anger towards America, and breeds more terrorists.

You fight terror with intelligence, global networking, and through the discreet scope of a sniper rifle.

*RON PAUL WAS RIGHT*

[saadasim]

Ron Paul is leading in the polling. Don't let mass media fool you into thinking that Dr. Paul is trailing.

[lewis121701]

Vote for GOD

[Ne0mega]

Bulmer13 likes dick in his ass. He'll take any kind, donkey dick, elephant dick, dick cheney, black dick, dead dick, andy dick, small dick, cow did, transvestite disk, any dick he can get, he'll take. He likes a good layer of lube as well, and the more the merrier. I heard he prefers grape lube, but he was begging for cherry last night. When I was done with him, he couldn't tell if it was blood or lube, but he gobbled it up like a prison bunny just the same.

[Peloskyman]

Rudy is a bitch.

[TTDaVeTT]

YES! Ron Paul is the best canidate for the GOP by far. We need someone like him to divert power from the neo-nazi fascists blinded by conservative nationalism from gaining power and taking a huge dump on the country for generations to come. This could get scary. #*@$ Fox news! $^#% Guliani! Ron Paul isnt scared to speak the truth. The one one backed by infallible arguments supported by direct facts and quotes!

[TouchingYou]

Another irony the media cover up: 1. the people of NYC (who owned the Twin Towers) WANT THEM BACK, but Rudy says the Terrorists MUST win. They ruined our skyline temporarily. Rudy ruined it PERMANENTLY. He's their best friend. 2. It also shows Rudy's hatred of representing the People, b/c he's a totalitarian fascist. He's a terrorist by admission: acheiving political goals thru fear and violence.

[landofthefreemyass]

What a blood-thirsty, war-mongering crowd in SC... That applause made me sick....Anyone with half a brain can understand Ron Paul's position, but it's more fun to want to blindly go kick some ass in the middle east and not contemplate why we were attacked.

[VanDerLubbe]

Was that applause for Rudy real or added by Faux News?

I've worked in the industry for a while as a sound engineer for sitcoms. About 50 to 80 percent (depending on the series) of the laughs you hear on the aired final cuts are "enhanced", ranging from "amplified" to simply added in from sound libraries.

Knowing how Faux Nooze works, I don't see why they would NOT use the same ol' tricks of the trade.

[VanDerLubbe]

After reviewing the video I'm 100% sure that applause is fake.

1) No real applause has such an obvious initial attack at full volume. Real applause takes at least a split second to build up. What we hear here is a plain cut. Bad hack job on the engineer's part.

2) Do you see anyone in the audience, even one person, move their hands? They're just sitting there.

Also (unrelated): Watch Rudy's nervous left thumb while he talks. Dead giveaway for anyone trained in reading body language.

[bsullivan2]

Ron Paul scares the crap out of terrorists. Want to know why? Watch my latest video. (watch?v=zlG4rfxrCfk)

[sweetbwaoy]

Rudy Guiliani is milking this "for somebody who lived through the attacks of September 11th..." emotional appeal/rhetoric to death. It's going to get old so quick. Especially for people who know that it was him who had all of the steal from the building shipped off and melted down before it could be found out that a controlled demolition knocked down the towers. Guiliani also failed to mention that he "coincidentally" was in London during the 7/7 bombings as well.

[GuyPinestra]

GO RON PAUL!!!

[joeypk12]

only thing i don't agreement that paul said:

"there's a strong tradition of being anti-war in the republican party."

[Stophocles]

Joeypk, if you don't agree with that statement than you have been taken in by the liberal media. Ask 90% of young liberals in the country and they would probably tell you that republicans got us into vietnam and korea. Anyways, watching this debate I felt absolutely terrible for Ron Paul when Giuliani shot back and got that applause. I usually support Fox news but I definately suspect foul play here.

[Scodremalin]

That's because the republican party has been hijacked by neo-cons. Paleo-cons are the true republicans.

[pjdude]

Every one of the commentators just wrote off anything Ron Paul said. I don't know, he was the only one I could agree with and didn't scare the crap out of me. Is it just me or are all the other candidates stuck in the show 24. talk about cookie cutter candidates.

[jer2913]

In the post-debate interviews every candidate but Ron Paul was asked if they enjoyed the debate. Steel said that Ron Paul did not win the debate even if the poll said that he did. Ron Paul has not been Washingtonized like the rest of them. I have always been taught that when I am pointing my finger at someone there are three fingers pointing back at me. It is not our fault that they attacked us on 9/11, but that does not negate the fact that there is much we could have done to avoid it.

[Geotubest]

Ron Paul won that one. However, he seems to imply that the people who attacked on 9/11 were Iraqis. There is no linkage between 9/11 and Iraq.

[sandeman10]

Was it noticed that Ron Paul had was asked far fewer questions than the rest of the candidates and that the same question was effectively asked twice?

[bulmer13]

Rudy's got my vote. Anyone who says we deserved 9-11 obviously wasn't there. I was. The people killed weren't policy makers or Senators. They were regular people and Ron Paul can go run for office in Canada. Rudy's got my vote. He'll crush Hillary.

[cinnamoncluster]

Good thing Ron Paul didn't say that we deserved 911. Good try spinning things around. He said that our foreign policy was contributing factor to the cause of 911--a logical argument.

Just for you being there doesn't make what Ron Paul said wrong. You are wrong, my misinformed friend. Ron Paul will raise our country to new heights.

GO RON PAUL!

[jer2913]

I completely agree. This is kind of funny. But my mother always told me that everybody else can't be wrong. If everyone hates us then we need to look at ourselves; we need to look within and see what we are doing. It is not about whose fault it is; it is about what we can do to stop these attacks in the future.

[bulmer13]

the whole world does not disagree with us. Conservatives are now elected in France, Germany and England. I would say the people who don't take the Islamafascist movement as serious as they should are being moved out of their jobs. Sorry but we can't afford another 9-11 and we sure are not going to kiss everyone's ass and appease the terrorists and the nations that sponsor them. Get with the times - this isn't high school. This is the real world, junior.

[jimmyian]

Stop debating world politics when you clearly know nothing.

First England is not a State - you'd be better saying Great Britain or United Kingdom.

Second - The Left-Wing Labour Party are in power (Tony Blair, soon to be Gordon Brown). The name of the main opposition party is The Conservatives - can you guess which way they lean?

America can clearly afford another 9-11. Look how much money it has made for your arms industy with 2 wars on the back of 9/11.

[bulmer13]

Hey hippie, I think you got my point when I said England but if you'd like to split atoms. Second, the Labour Party is the one who sent troops into Iraq and the Conservatives opposed it. It works differently over there, douchebag. Third, clearly you have a fixation on money. I was talking about having thousands, maybe millions of Americans killed if we elect a douche like Ron Paul who would probably approach terrorism like John Kerry. Through the UN.

[jimmyian]

Yeah I got your point when you said England, I was soon aware I was talking to a (stereo)typical American who doesn't know where countries are, doesn't have a passport and maybe learns something about the world from Fox News.

The Conservatives in The UK voted to go to war on the back of Colin Powell's lies.

An American accusing a Brit of having a fixation on money? lol

It's usually a good move starting wars with UN approval, otherwise the world hates you.

[bulmer13]

Colin Powell's lies? Thank you, I think we both know how you look. In reference to the UN, they're not protecting us and they have no concern for innocent people dying (ever heard of Darfur). As far as hating America, the fact that you are on that team makes me even prouder of where I come from (and reaffirms my belief that America is and always will be the greatest country in the world). Now go brush your teeth, limey.

Yes, don't you remember Powell demonstrating to the UN Saddam's dangerous weapons caches, biological facilities and rocket launchers? Those infamous Weapons of Mass Destruction, almost as hard to find as a Neo-Cons brain.

Ron Paul and his supporters makes me realise that not all Americans are idiots - but I won't push so far in supporting him, as as evident with Bush - Americans rebel and don't want the world dictating to them who should be their leader.

[bulmer13]

neocons? dude, you're textbook BBC. A true fan of mediamatters, I'm sure. You should spend less time drinking tea and not getting laid and more time not being such a pussy. The irony of calling people idiots and then saying Colin Powell is a liar is beyond the pale. You should seriously seek help, clearly you're delusional and probably a bit paranoid.

[Scodremalin]

Not sticking our nose where it doesn't belong (namely, the mideast) isn't somehow kissing terrorist ass. Stop using neo-con logic.

[Samhain35]

Ron Paul is wasting someone's hard-earned money with this nonsense.

Go Rudy!

[invisiblered]

you're brainwashed, do a google search "operation ajax" and inform yourself

[cinnamoncluster]

Rudy is so much more wasteful than Paul.

Ron Paul probably won't win because your party elects losers & liars.

fyi: i'm republican, and the only true republican i see is Ron Paul.

[NewspeakDictionary]

Rudy called Paul "absurd". What is so absurd about suggesting that the best way to curb terrorism to stop poking a stick in a hornet's nest? Modern Islamic fanaticism is on a par with Christian fanaticism during the time of the inquisition. But is the best way to deal with their irrationality to continually bomb them? Rudy may disagree, but it seems to me that violence is only going to feed their jingoistic religious fanaticism, not curtail it.

Well said!

Think! The average US wage has dropped from $34,000 to $28,000 in the past 4 years. Your troops are getting stuffed in Iraq - US house prices have collapsed by 50% in the past year - your middle classes (whose jobs are disappearing down a Chinese drain pipe) can no longer afford health care - oil producing countries across the world are dumping the dollar - oh - and by the way - American traitors are going to be allowed to murder thousands of their own citizens in the cold light of day!

[Samhain35]

Best economy in the history of the country. Lowest interest rates. No inflation. Statistically full employment. House ownership at all time high. US is the best country in the history of the World.

[cinnamoncluster]

okay.

since we have the best monetary policies...*sarcasm*

low interest rates, "no inflation"...FULL EMPLOYEMENT?!??! Get the Fuk out of here. How do you listen to everything that is said by our government.

LOok at the Feds....tell me why they won't disclose EVERY PERTINENT information about our economy..such as M3.

[BUDDAX10]

What a laugh - according to the American Government's own agencies in December 2006 the average poor Englishman has a better health care system than the average rich American - its now 2 US dollars to the pound and getting worse - oh, and by the way, you child infant mortality rates are so bad due to HIV mothers you are only beaten by Guatemala and Iraq!

[VitoBambito]

I don't under stand why they are applauding Giuliani... Ron Paul made sense.. Whats going on?

Join the Giuliani hate group on myspace!

Its groups.myspace dot com /WehateGiuliani

[cinnamoncluster]

Thank you.

[bvshizgei]

werd! giuliani is the one who owes an apology to the american people.

[sandeman10]

They are applauding because there is a concerted attempt in the media to build support for Rudy, while at the exact same time there is a concerted attempt to silence the enormous support for Ron Paul that has arisen despite their best efforts. We just have to thank our luck stars that the internet is free.

[bvshizgei]

rudy, wear a dress next time...

[hewlee]

arrogance will get you no where.. Guillani is a liar.. LIAR>> LIAR>>

[kevin29chev]

Rudy, your a dumb ass !

[bulmer13]

you shouldn't call someone a dumbass when he is a successful person and politician who has made positive changes to the BIGGEST city in the world while you can't even spell properly. For the record, it is "you're" not "your"...as in "you're a moron", moron.

[cinnamoncluster]

a typical new yorker. lol jk

I love NY. Rudy is the wrong choice, bro. Rudy will crush Hillary? Rudy can't even crush Ron Paul in a debate. What is he going to do? Mention 911 for the billionth time?

[algreen90]

Yeah, and that's why the city hates him. Giuliani doesn't even belong on the same stage as Paul. Paul comes across as an informed and intelligent individual while Giuliani comes across as a thug. I'm starting to get the sense that Republicans are purposely trying to push him aside.
