The funeral of the late great Senator Robert Alfonso Taft. A real conservative hero unlike the neocons who've hijacked the Republican party.

We need another Robert Taft. To hell with ALL the neo-cons.

That's right. Long live Robert Taft.

Robert Taft was a true conservative... You want Taft back? Vote Ron Paul... he is the only one who can bring back the Taft philosophy!

Taft surely would have been the Republican presidential nominee in 1948, and with all of the Republican landslides, probably would have won. The country was tired of FDR, Truman, and the Dems. However, Sen. Taft spoke out against the Nuremburg trials. He considered them violations of the Constitution and International Law, and as revenge, not justice. Everyone started calling him a crypto-Nazi or sympathizer, and the GOP nominated the moderate Dewey. Truman won. Taft was a true conservative!

Taft was a fool in foreign policy just as Ron Paul is today.

so. you think the USA and that generation likes things the way they are today ?

Taft is a true conservative who wanted to keep the US out of entangling alliances and wars.. He is Ron Paul today..

[DaveDeShrubber]

Robert Taft? What a completely worthless person! Before World War II he was one of those isolationist cowards who wanted to surrender to Hitler. After World War II he wanted to forgive all Nazi war criminals.

Shame on Ohio for not tossing this loser onto the scrapheap of history sooner.

anti-family agenda.. = fear = epitome' of emotion & fear = demagogy

[Soulblackman]

That's just it, he tried to PUSH it through. No thought or real analysis, just political maneuvering to promote his larger, anti-family agenda. NO ONE, except conservative, seemed to even read the "health" bill. Something of this magnitude requires more time to study. Tort reform MUST be considered and abortion-on-demand, rejected, as well as medical for illegals. TR wanted the Canal badly & it's a "coincidence" that there was a coup, giving him the perfect opportunity to come to the "rescue".

Soulblackman..

I disagree.. I remember all the panic when he Obama tried to push all that stuff through.. I thought he was doing exactly what he said he was going to do. His website actually had a list. Clinton, old people.. yes well I didn't like that either but it still falls short of character assignation and even if the Dems did it and surely they have it is still wrong. I pointed that out in another comment. TR.. I am pretty sure that war was set up without TR's help.

[Soulblackman]

I couldn't disagree w/u on the last point. Never in history, has a president been given such God-like adoration by the press. He is not being slandered, he is just being taken to task - FINALLY. To run a campaign on the slogan of "change", w/o specifying what is meant, is the epitome' of emotion & fear. I remember Clinton saying that the GOP wanted to starve old people; fear? TR set up the "war" in Panama to get at the Canal. Interesting, years later GHWB invades Panama.
