speaking of conspiracy theoriesYou wanna know what I privately think, UR? I believe that many of our more recently joined "Paul supporters" are DU folks attempting to divide and conquer.

SteelCore said:It's not "defeatism," it's acknowledging the reality that there were no WMDs there, and we're only spending lives, limbs, and ungodly amounts of money for no good reason.
The US can stay in Iraq if we want to. No one is going to physically drive us out. It's simply a terrible decision to stay, and it's going to bankrupt this country eventually (in more ways than one).

as a conservative....can I ask you WHAT the party dogma/platform IS??

We do not want a McCain presidency.
Let's not confuse fact with speculation. He has already stated that he will not be using the PCC funds for his re-election bid.Sorry Ron Paul supporters it appears your candidate is going to use all that money for his congressional re-election bid.
As busy as I am trying to spread our message of freedom around the nation…and even the
world…I simply cannot afford to ignore my reelection campaign at home. The success we
have seen in fundraising for the presidential campaign has clearly come at the expense of my
not doing ANY fundraising for my congressional campaign. As a result the congressional
campaign account is virtually empty. Federal election laws make it virtually impossible for
me to use any of my presidential funds for my congressional race so long as I remain a
candidate for president. That presents a real problem…because as long as I continue to have
success running for President, I will have a hard time securing funds for my congressional
reelection.

Well, fortunately, federal election law treats donations to the presidential campaign and the
congressional campaign as two separate items for accounting purposes. That means someone
who gave a large donation to the presidential race…perhaps even the maximum…can also
give to my congressional campaign without any conflict or penalty.
That presents a real problem…because as long as I continue to have
success running for President
You do realize that political movements like this take time. Ending slavery didn't happen overnight. Getting women the right to vote didn't happen overnight, heck none of the people who started the womans suffrage movement lived to see women be granted the right to vote.It is evident that Paul's message doesn't even register with his home state crowd.
That fact alone should cause anyone thinking about voting for Paul some concern.
I don't want to go to work either, but until something better comes along I'm stuck.
Same goes for McCain.
How long will it take for the GOP to figure out this logic does not inspire nor win elections?????
