What else do you expect from a walking, talking Weiner??

Yep.. I'm thinking that there is no difference between establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats.. I'm also beginning to believe that these establishment people are trying to bankrupt not just our Country but the entire world maybe in the hopes that they can remake the ashes into their idea of utopia..

I hate to say it but I agree with general Boykin that Islam should not have 1st Amendment protection.. I'm a live and let live kind of person but how do you live side by side with people who's religion tells them to go out and conquer the world, kill and enslave everyone who disagrees with Islam and do it in the name of Allah?? It seems to me that you can't live with people like this without watching over your shoulder all the time, something the Jews have gotten quite good at..

I just keep thinking about her recent statements about how she is not going to return as Secretary of State, that she is done in politics and is getting out,, wait a minute, didn't Richard Nixon say the same thing??

Could it be a deal was struck where if she quit politics no mention of her involvement would be made?? What is the quid pro quo on that if true??

How come Hillary Clinton gets a free pass?? Since Operation Fast and Furious took place both in America and in a foreign country the State dept had to first sign off and OK the operation.. The State dept would also have been receiving briefings on the operation as it was ongoing as well..

Consider this; Keystone XL, if the state dept had to sign off on an oil pipeline, then doesn't it make sense that the State dept would also have to sign off on importing guns into a country where its illegal to own firearms and ammunition??

If I'd have known that Barack Obama was a rich west Texas oilman, I'd have voted for that beer guy from Arizona..

I'm just wondering what happens when a 5+ billion dollar aircraft carrier encounters a couple of150 million dollar 5th generation stealth aircraft?? Any ideas??

Well, we're getting a little closer to seeing things through the same prism, let me reinsert my original post here;

I hate to say it here because people are going to disagree with and hammer me for it, but if the election came down to a choice between a liberal Mitt Romney and Republican control of both houses of Congress verses a liberal Barack Obama with Republican control of both houses of Congress, I think the country would be better off long term with the divided government than with a bunch of establishment RINO's in control of everything.. Keep in mind someday soon we are going to be picking more Supreme Court Justices..

So it appears that this thread is way off topic.. That said let me also add that of the current people running for the office of President of the United States Ron Paul is the best qualified AND the most likely to govern under the principles written in the Constitution. Furthermore, being that I am a hard core Libertarian and I respect Ron Paul greatly, that I was raised in Texas, have lived in Texas for 37 of the last 44 years and that I was aware of Ron Paul long before most people in America had ever heard of him.. Now considering that Ron Paul himself has even said that he doesn't see himself being elected President, what is plan B?? Why is he still in the race??

Also I never said that I ever thought that Newt would be a uniter or something, I have repeatedly said here and in other postings that I believe that of the current candidates, Newt would be the best for America. I say that because what America needs right now is a President that can get enough members of Congress to work together to begin to undo the damages that have been done to our Country over the last 111-ish years by Presidents and Congressmen of both party's with a progressive agenda. It does not matter who the President is, until Congress works with him, nothing is going to get done as the last 3 years under the current joke-- er President has shown.. It takes a majority of the 535 people in Congress, working together to do anything in our form of government and at this moment in our history we need a politicial knifefighter as President who can deal with the current political reality in America today and that politicial knifefighter is Newt Gringrich.. Politics is a business of give and take, you scatch my back and I'll scratch your back and we'll both get some of what we want.. Going back to Bill Clinton's time in office and how today he likes to brag about how the economy was back then, the budget, cutting spending, taxs and what not, he always leaves out the part that Newt played in crafting the bills that created the success Bill is taking credit for..

After spending the better part of two days pondering what you have written, I have concluded that there is no purpose in trying to refute anything you post because you have already made your mind up and refuse to consider the political reality that exists in America today. In a perfect world where all things are either black and white with no shades of gray (when I was a kid I used to see the world in this context, a world where everything was either right or wrong, where everything fit together neatly) but as I got older and had to deal with everything life handed me I learned that A, we do not live in a perfect world and B, there is a lot of gray and not many things fit together neatly out there so the only thing I can say about your last post is this.

I disagree with your reasoning because same as before you are taking the powers of Congress and giving them to the President to justify your reasoning. Using your logic why hasn't our current President enacted increased gun control or made it a crime to own guns?? One word, CONGRESS..

You need to vote for whoever you think is going to accomplish what you want. If Ron Paul says what you want to hear, by all means vote for him, but understand that even if Ron Paul were elected President he would still be bound to uphold the CONSTITUTION and CONGRESS, (which is where Americas real problem lies) would continue on as before until you and enough other voters elect Congressmen who pledge to uphold the Constitution instead of enriching themselves at the country's expense..

I said that I believe that Newt is the best candidate to vote for not because I agree with what he says but because I believe that he is the only person who can use the Constitutional tools available to get a dysfunctional Congress (did I mention that Congress is America's biggest problem today??) to A, return to Constitutional principles and B, do something about the 15 trillion dollar debt PLUS the 100 trillion dollars of unfunded obligations generations of CONGRESSES not Presidents have left the taxpayers to pay..

"Ron Paul wants to cut a trillion dollars year one and has an itemized list on his site for specifics".
This is wonderful but I ask you one important question, in the absence of line item veto, DOES Ron Paul have enough votes in both houses of Congress to accomplice the specifics on his list?? If the answer is no, then what's your plan B??

Dr. Ron Paul isn't seeking reelection when his term is over so I'd like to see him as Secretary of the Treasury where I think he would do more good for America than as President in this, repeat... THIS election cycle..
