Diplomacy? Is he expecting to sit down to lunch with members of Al-Qaeda and insurgents and discuss the conflict in Iraq?

[crazycatfguy]

Oh please, did you listen to what this man said? Until someone comes up with a strategy that can work in Iraq stay the course means our troops are going to continue to die because Bush wants to pass this disaster off to the next president. I was in the army and if you think that is supporting the troops I ask you on behalf of the entire military to stop supporting us.

Please refrain from making stupid comments.

This guy is an idiot from RI. He's useless and he took $2.7M in campaign contributions from the very people his banking oversight committee was suppose to protect us.

Would you say NO to people who gave you $2.7M?

If this is The Guy, I will be very happy.

I agree, but this thing needs to be rapped up shortly or at least in a reasonable time frame and so far no time frame has been given. This war or conflict is a big drain on the economy of the United States, it is little wonder why we are starting to see the effects to it. We need to stop doing this type of thing altogether or it will most definitely ruin us. With that said while the troops are there they definitely need everything that we can give them.

Im am sorry but it is my understanding that while the troops are in combat it is the responsibility of Congress to make sure they have food, armor and weapons. Until they come home they need to be supported with money. Many people do not support the war yet send over care packages because they respect their armed forces.

The Democrats say they are against the war yet they keep funding it. Maybe they should be called Republicrats.

As president, Ron Paul will expose the bought and paid for congressman for their wrongs. They will be forced to "do the right thing," as their constituants will be educated by the president and his administration. Hard to believe, I know, but truth always triumphs in the end. It is high time for the citizens of the United States to reclaim what others have bravely fought and died for, FREEDOM!

[PGAJAMIE411]

Ron Paul is nothing close to what Bush was in 2000. Bush is the son of a former president and grandson of a congressman who helped finance the Nazi regime. The Bushes are neo-conservative war profiteers. Bush had every intention of going to war with Iraq before he was elected. Ron Paul has TWENTY PLUS YEARS of congressional history to support his campaign ideas!

[ChristianM17]

Furthermore, do you want to elect the same Republican house of representatives that stay with Bush's ideas no matter how wrong they are? They are the reason of our 9 trillion debt because the president doesn't pass the bills unless the house majority agrees which was the case during 1994-2006. 12 years of nothing but bashing the non-patriotic that to us are called Democrats. During the 12 years, fuel prices went up, interest rates went up, etc.
