I second that JC. I don't think Thompson could take votes away from the Dems running as a third party guy. Or at least enough to make a difference.
Well so far I'm only seeing one thing that I have a problem with and the current court is somewhat on the good side of the 2nd at the moment. So a liberal court would actually be quite appealing in many cases.Imagine rights for the enemy, new interpretation for the second amendment, God finished for good in our society, and of course the whole homosexual marriage thing.
I don't see anything good about that, though. I think anyone behaving badly deserves to be spoken badly about. Fortunately our politicians are not speaking badly about our troops, merely the president. Which in this case is a very, very good thing to do.The time when our politicians wouldn't dare speak badly (in public)of our armed forces or even a president they disagree with at a time of war. The good old days.

John Murtha look up his quotes.
Conservatives believe in equal rights for everyone Redworm just not special right for gays, minorities, etc. Religious freedom except for Christians yet another liberal mantra. BTW RW you have it back words white male heterosexual Christians are the most stomped on folks in America. I'm Hispanic and atheist and can see this.
like what? http://en.thinkexist.com/quotes/john_murtha/John Murtha look up his quotes.
Yet conservatives stick their fingers in their ears when reminded time and time and time and time and time and time and time again that no one is asking for SPECIAL rights. Asking to be treated the same way you are is not asking for special rights. Asking to be given the same benefits as you are when you get married is not asking for special rights.Conservatives believe in equal rights for everyone Redworm just not special right for gays, minorities, etc. Religious freedom except for Christians yet another liberal mantra.

I think you mean "when", not "if". If you think Ron Paul actually has a chance of getting the nomination, then you've got a poor understanding of politics.Will you even vote if Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination?
First off, if you don't vote, then you've got no business complaining about the policies of the elected.Or will you settle for business as usual by voting for John McCain or Rudy Guliani?
For me, I won't be voting at all.....in fact, I would be tempted to vote for a liberal democrat just to spite the Republicans (but I won't do that).
Why continue to play their (Republican party) little game being their pawns?
Excellent comment !heroes died to buy that right for me
But we're talking about the vote in the Primaries, not the presidential election. What you're saying would be true if Dr. Paul was running as a Third Party and with no chance to win (and that isn't a given; Perot had excellent polling numbers, as I recall). In that case he would be siphoning off Republican votes.It is surprising to me how many people fail to learn the lessons of even recent history. Back when Bush ran against Gore, many lefties and greenies voted for Ralph Nader, saying that there was no difference between Bush and Gore anyways. Bush then got elected and you know what? They now really, really regret their vote because there was a big difference between Bush and Gore.
If you're saying that Dr. Paul might win the Primaries, but have no chance in the presidential election. I totally reject this. He might not have name recognition now, but after a year of campaigning everyone will know his name, and I think a very large portion of the voters will respond to his message.
Ron Paul is a right-wing libertarian and is easily the most conservative candidate in the race. He's anti-abortion, very pro-gun, opposed to big federal government, and opposes illegal immigration and foreign interventionism. In contrast, there is very little that's truly conservative about today's GOP -- especially Giuliani, who is an out-and-out NYC liberal.Real Gun said:Well, since he's not a conservative, sure. He's a libertarian. Hijacking the simple meaning of "conservative" is a shell game.
[America] has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings, as to the last vital drop that visits the heart. She has seen that probably for centuries to come, all the contests of that Aceldama the European world, will be contests of inveterate power, and emerging right. Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
