Ron Paul R-TX Rocking the House!

[jannyk]

My god - a man of principle!! He's reading both sides the riot act.

"a war on terror is like declaring a war on gangsterism' "It's a tactic, you can't declare war on a tactic!'

[berner59]

1. watching also...

Couldn't believe he's a Repub!! Did a great job!!

[SlowDownFast]

2. Ron Paul's respectable

as far as Repugs are concerned. Don't understand why he's a Repug, he's more Libertarian seems like.

[w8liftinglady]

21. he ran for pres as a Libertarian in 1988,and apparently may run in 2008

[Skidmore]

3. Yup.

Said that everyone knows it is just a matter of time before the war is defunded and the troops will be bought home, so why not bring them home now.

Marsha Blackburn up trying to talk out of both sides of her mouth. My lord, she's a piece of work. Sez that * is saying to change the course and those who disagree are refusing.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. Ron Paul has also done the only floor speech on PNAC. Even though

he is Republican, he knows exactly what the Sociopath is up to and is very vocal about it.

Did you know that Ron Paul is running for President? MSM won't acknowledge him.

[Norquist Nemesis]

10. The Cons barely acknowledge him. n/t

[jannyk]

5. "A war that should never have been started' n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

6. He was great, as usual. Walter Jones was too.

I wonder what their lives are like behind the closed doors of the Capitol building?

[marions ghost]

19. yeah and so was Coble of Greensboro area NC

He said "we were inept" in managing the war --cited troop morale and the cost to taxpayers, the practical considerations.

Jones and Coble are responding to the military opinion IMO.

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Yep. I heard Coble too. It's so nice to see some Conservatives with a brain.

:7

[jannyk]

7. 'War on terror? It's deliberately vague so we

can make war with anyone we chose any time"

[hiaasenrocks]

8. Is that a quote from Mr. Paul?

[jannyk]

12. Yes! He's my hero!!!

[hiaasenrocks]

15. Just checking. I just now got the TV on. LOL. Did you see....

the rest of Duncan's speech? GREAT stuff!

[SlowDownFast]

14. yeppers.

[Norquist Nemesis]

9. John Duncan (R-TN) now reading quotes from soldiers

Looks like he supports the resolution.

[Skidmore]

11. He's really jumping ship!!

Well done, sir!

[hiaasenrocks]

13. Some of what Duncan was saying........here!

Schooling members of his own party on the traditions of conservatism...against interventionist foreign policy.

Calling out defense contractors - "The gravy train is over."

Calling to bring troops home now.

[junkiebrewster]

16. Ron Paul, aka Dr.No

I've always respected Ron Paul, though I disagree with him. He has always been consistent.

[hiaasenrocks]

23. He's good on this topic. By the way...

I see the flag avatar. Greetings from Charleston!

[junkiebrewster]

26. And Greetings from the Upstate

Fellow South Cackylackian

[marions ghost]

17. "We have no reason to kill any more Iraqis"

was the quote that stood out for me from Ron Paul. Then he said 'stop the carnage and the financial bleeding.'

It's sad there are so few ethical Republicans in congress. But there are a few like Paul who at least sound like they might be sane. They see the writing on the wall, as opposed to being delusional.

[Norquist Nemesis]

18. Now LaTourette (R-Ohio)--I wish my President had chosen a different path

He's voting for the resolution

[Norquist Nemesis]

20. Now Author Shaddegg trying to change the topic again

'We should have been allowed to broaden this so that we can obfuscate at our pleasure. Here's how!'

[rhiannon55]

22. I love to see Republicans jumping ship

Especially a Repub from Texas! Yay, Ron Paul!:yourock:

[primative1]

25. Ron Paul was Never on that ship ...

He sails his own course.
Power to him.
Just wish he would drop the R

[rhiannon55]

28. Never? That's good to know.

Thanks for setting me straight!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. He knew all about Bush's plans for Imperialism and has spoken out against it. I

posted above, he actually gave a floor speech about PNAC.

[hiaasenrocks]

27. Very moving closing comments from Walter Jones. Wow.

Recounting a visit to Walter Reed Hospital. I won't attempt to paraphrase his words here -- I couldn't do it justice -- so look for his quotes later if you missed them.

[BluePatriot]

29. *blink blink*

wait, a local isn't spouting the usual pro-admin crap? Someone pinch me!
