we went into iraq because of "9/11". we went into iraq because of wmds.we went into iraq b/c saddam hussein was in collusion with al queda.All of that was bullshit.the whole war was based on lies.removing saddam was fine (he was our creation, by the way).but that's all we needed to do. now we are occupying a nation.WE ARE OCCUPYING A NATION!& not to mention,the middle east's business is not our business.& waht do you mean "even" the iranians hate saddam?

Obama is a fraud. Look at his cabinet. They're full of prominent warmongers and lobbyist/corporatist cock suckers.

Don't give me that Abe Lincoln nonsense. Abe Lincoln screwed America over.

Who cares about his summit. Obama has no experience and he has no principle.

He is just the tacit version of McCain.

Ron Paul was excluded from his own party convention. They didn't want to hear him telling them they need to follow the constitution. They now have their own agenda which is not the will of the people.

oh well no one ever reads the damn descriptions anyway

[dellsprospects22]

and yes oops i know he's republican but he seems more libetarian to me, am i the only one that constantly forgets that? hmm?

[dellsprospects22]

i can't believe al jazeera put ron paul and third way in the same sentence this is inaccurate, libetarians want personal liberty communitarians (third way) don't! endthefed protest is nov 22!

"...But really, he didn't have a shot this time round..."

this may be true indeed but, i say poor nation if their candidates have to have a "shot" for thiers campagins.

aren't his stubborn honesty and his good principals enough for a successful campagin?

don't we have enough of orchestrations, spin speaches, manipulations of the mainstream candidates who are puppets of the upper 1%?

RP is not right in all points but at least he is honest. others deserve a lot more to be attacked.

Smugness? Alright, English is your second language so I'm sorry for the implied insult. But I think you misunderstood me, You see I support Ron Paul and would've liked to see him as president. But really, he didn't have a shot this time round. He couldn't keep fighting his own party for votes, I believe that would have discredited him. So I'm hoping for allot better conditions by 2012.
