I would certainly support him over Hillery. But that is going to depend a lot on his running mate. We learned the hard way that the office of VP is not necessarily a benign position. A lot of damage can come out of there.

But I got my eye on Tommy Thompson. The Dark Horse from Wisconsin.

Lemme tell you folks something. Tommy Thompson was a GREAT governor (unlike Julius George.) He cleaned welfare up. Business was great. He's a conservative with some beliefs that do not coincide with mine but he does not feel the need to shove his beliefs down the throats of others. People like him and want to work with him. He is a hard worker and a results oriented leader. He's not afraid to tip one back with the common man. He has a brother that reminds me of Billy Carter. Everybody has a brother or an uncle I suppose.:3oops:

Tommy is a good conservative who is all for liberty and doing good for his people. And, as far as I know, he ain't no oil tycoon.
 
Ron Paul is a joke........A loser...He has zero chance to win the nomination.....

Your debating skills are awesome.



















In case you didn't get it. That was sarcasm. How about you bring something to the debate other then insults? I'd elect him on this alone :

Ron Paul professes a Constitutionalist (limited government), libertarian ideology, and opposes presidential and judicial autonomy.

Pot meet kettle....... (sarcasm)

Paul is a tax and spender, has no money for a campaign and is soft on terror........Like I said that spells loser.....
 
You know I love you baby ;)



Thats how the economy works.



Soft on terror? Show some proof of this?



Oh alright.

1. Please.......:roll:


2. Tax cuts make the economy work, not tax increases

3. Like you he is a cut and runner...........
 
1. Please.......:roll:

Like you never thought about cuddling up to the guy beside you while on that ship of yours.

2. Tax cuts make the economy work, not tax increases

How do you expect the government and army to work without taxes? You do know 42% of your taxes pay for the military right?

42% of Your Taxes Pay for War - FCNL Issues

3. Like you he is a cut and runner..........

How is that being soft on terror? As far as I'm concerned the mission was accomplished when the Iraqi people voted. Democracy worked. Let's get the **** out.

I've watched Paul some lately. I saw him declare his candidacy on C-Span's Washington Journal, on Hardball and last Friday on Real Time.

He's really for small government which is odd then that Navy Pride would not support him since Navy claims to be a Conservative rather than a Republican (I wouldn't admit to being a Republican either but that's for a different thread).

I don't think Navy can debate what Paul's talking points are because Paul is a true Conservative. I would never vote for him but at least he wouldn't start a war based on lies, overspend like a drunken sailor, destroy the environment or disgrace our country on the international stage.

I would enjoy debating you Navy Pride on this thread's subject. I will take the Pro Ron Paul side despite my not supporting him (a good debater can debate either side without partisanship) and you can take the anti-Republican, Anti-Conservative side of the debate in your opposition to Ron Paul.

Up for it Navy Pride?

1. we don't have to resort to that do we?

2. Its called with the revenue generated by the economy.......

3. Its called losing the heart for the fight and cutting and running......Been there, done that in Nam.Probably way before your time......
 
1. we don't have to resort to that do we?

Come on now we're all adults :P

2. Its called with the revenue generated by the economy.......

Generated by the economy you don't want being taxed? Sorry I gotta ask this...I never really payed attention in economics.

3. Its called losing the heart for the fight and cutting and running......Been there, done that in Nam.Probably way before your time......

I'll only be 20 till April 10th so yeah. What cutting and running? We beat the enemy we set out to defeat. Saddam and his henchmen. What more do you want? To stay until everybody loves us?

PS : You whats really shitty? I wont get to have my first legal drink till I get home.

You know....I'm not sure if you are in the military or not....but it just reminded me of one of my biggest personal beefs.

We allow people to join the military at 18....but people can't drink until 21 because we have decided that you don't have good judgement until you have reached that age.

What a crock of BS!

You are old enough to die for this Country....Sometimes people who make the laws in this country are beyond logic.

I wish I could thank you more than once for this post. Nicely put.

We need to finish the job we started........

I appreciate your comments.
You know....I understand that there are a lot of problems with alcohol in this country. But this is one area in which hypocrisy is blaring....I can handle consistency....even if it is something that I disagree with....but I cannot for the life of me understand the rationale here.
 
Umm no. Ron Paul is the most anti-tax, anti-big-government candidate in the race.

NP using his special debating tactic of making up facts again.
 
We need to finish the job we started........

We did. We got rid of Saddam. We established a democracy(of sorts). Mission Accomplished. Lets do what we did with Colombia and ship money to them so they can equip and hire people to train their military against the insurgents. We don't need to do anything else.

LOL you're the second person to ask me that on this forum. No I'm not military. I come from a military family though. I really never understood that either. 20 years old you can grab an m16 but you can't push down a bud?
 
He voted against the tax cuts....That is a tax increase.
