Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) stood his ground and joined the twenty-or-so other Republicans that have decided to vote with the House Democrats in favor of a non-binding Iraq resolution that condemns President Bush’s troop surge.
Speaking of Bush, Congressman Paul was very straight-forward in his displeasure for Bush’s “demented philosophy of conquest.” Here is a portion of his floor speech:
RON PAUL: “In recent decades, our policies have been driven by neoconservative empire radicalism; profiteering in the military industrial complex; misplaced do-good internationalism; mercantilistic notions regarding the need to control natural resources; and blind loyalty to various governments in the Middle East.”
You can add Ron Paul’s name to the small list of the few level-headed Republicans left in Congress.

I appreciate how …
I appreciate how you pointed out that the Bush’s were liberals, indeed this is what is meant by “neo-conservative”, and “compassionate conservatism”, it means Republican liberalism. If a conservative is not conserving the Constitution for the United States of America, then what the are they conserving?

I’m a moderate liberal and disagree with most of Ron Paul’s views, but he is spot on about foreign policy. I can’t respect him because he’s principled. He’s also intelligent. I guess that maks him an “elitist” according to vile right wingers

It’s all about the …
It’s all about the lobbyists, politicians, & big businesses & the Republicans think the Americans are gullible & will vote for them again. They are the ones who have America as it is today, with trillions of dollars in debt. Republicans don’t care about the poor. They are a bunch of rich old men who only want to have power & care less what happens to the poor man on the street. Americans vote for a change & they’re going forward for the sake of their children’s future!

Here’s what’s wrong with this country.
220k hits when there should 220 million hits.
The rest of the country is enraptured by one “entertainment package” or another, anything to avoid a real confrontation with reality.
Shame on America. The people are getting the exact government they deserve.
