why do i get the feeling that whenever this great man speaks the rest of the house are on their phones playing angry birds?

I wish more Republicans were like him.

Endless war is not conservative at all. In fact it is the fastest way to bankrupt a nation. How is it better to cut services to the taxpayer, then take more money from the taxpayer at the same time providing more services to other people that the taxpayer really does not care about? That makes no sense to me.

[Gun Shinobi]

Yes, under different circumstances over a decade ago. Our objectives was to eliminate AQI and UBL. Both objectives was successfully completed. It has been time to go a long time ago. Only people that can truly rebuild Afghanistan is the Afghan people.

The situation in the middle east right now is the reason why I would never vote for Obama or Paul. Paul's foreign policy is almost as worse, if not worse than Obama's. We are they're under legal conditions, Paul. We should stay in the middle east, and even Iraq. I'm not for Obama, I'm not for Romney AT ALL!. But Paul's foreign policy is completely clueless and misinformed, when you don't pull the belt off the enemy feels they can do whatever they want, Obama and Paul's policy does this.

I'm sick of illegal wars....I don't care which way King Obama and his Royal slice it and dice it...there is no Declaration of War and we need to get out! We have become the bullies of the world not to mention we are broke and blamed for everything that happens in the world.

Neoconservatives love war. Mitt Romney's foreign policy advisors are neoconservatives from the Bush administration.

It infuriates me how few votes this guy is getting. If only more presidential candidates were like him, then we could actually deal with foreign policy EFFECTIVELY.
