OK, I see I didn't read your statement correctly- I misread to think you were referring to our troops that were dying. None-the-less, I think my overall point (below) stands.


From what I can see, and based on the 2008 donations coming from the military, I don't think that a lot of them want to be there anymore. Sure, they made a choice when they signed up for service but I think this situation is more complicated than that.


I disagree as you're asking me how long we should give them when I have virtually no power to make a difference in that decision making process. To say the least, president Obama doesn't call me up asking for advice. I'm doing what I can to make a difference and if anyone wants to say that I'm making more than a little practical difference I'd be flattered. Regardless, I do press on. Having your question directed to president Obama or Hilary would be fruitful.

When I said we, I meant collectively as a movement. (This would include Dr. Paul who is questioning Hillary here..)

My original post was about taking them (Our leaders and in this case, Hillary) to task. Which do you think will end the war (and all needless wars for that matter) quicker, taking them to task or playing nice? I would contend that taking them to task will get it done quicker. If this is the case, then the sooner the better! Playing nice will not cause them to change anything....

The quicker the war ends, the fewer people who die. That is all that I am saying.... Your seemingly complacent attitude on this subject is a little confusing to me here. Do you really think that when you/we stand up and take our leaders to task that you/we are making little practical difference?

We were all just stating our opinions of what was going on in the clip right? I must have missed something that I need to go back and review…..

I think that a proper balance of taking them to task and playing nice will get it done best. For example, if one day one of the new administration they were brought to task, it would be too soon. So that is a time to play nice. If we wait until the last day of the administration, well, that is obviously a little too much playing nice. So there is a transition from playing nice to taking one to task- so to speak. Where we are in that is a subjective matter.

The quicker the war ends, the fewer people who die. That is all that I am saying....

No disagreement here.

Certainly when we stand up together we can make a difference. It's an interesting phenomenon where the sum is greater than the parts, IMO. I was just referring to myself. Apparently this is the source of some of the issue here, "we" vs. "me", etc.

We were all just stating our opinions of what was going on in the clip right?

Correct.
 
What Paul should of said is, "My message 'Freedom is Popular' did did strike home with many people. didn't it? In fact I'm planning to launch an exploratory 2012 Presidential committee to see if there's really support for another run. And if say the committee raises say $30 million by July 4th, I'll seriously consider running."

(And if he does raise $30 million before officially announcing then no going cheap on the Iowa straw poll; best location, air-conditioned tents, big name entertainment, top rate food, and golf carts.)
 
Liberals are far more friendly to Ron Paul than the neocons are. If you don't know this, then you haven't been out in the field.

That said, Hillary's probably playing a game.

But, we have an opportunity to attempt to promote classic liberalism (look it up, it's very much like libertarianism). Liberals are not happy with Obama's unwillingness to prosecute Bush officials.

Personally, I don't care about party, I want to see an ethical America. Work on the pro-life stuff later, work on phasing out the Dept of Education later--there are much bigger fish to fry.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton interrupted her testimony on Capitol Hill today to pay a compliment to Rep. Ron Paul, the Texas congressman who made an unsuccessful bid for the GOP presidential nomination last year.

As she finished answering a question from Paul, she added: “And, at the risk of going over our time, I just want to say, having campaigned during the last presidential election, you had the most enthusiastic supporters of anybody I ever saw.”

Paul laughed, and replied, “I love to hear that.”

Clinton wasn’t done. “Well, I mean, my goodness, everywhere I went they were literally running down highways holding your signs.”

That drew laughter from many lawmakers.

“I’ve never had a chance to tell you that,” Clinton went on. “But your message obviously resonated with a lot of people.”

“Thank you,” Paul said.

Before the love-fest could go any further, Foreigh Affairs Committee Chairman Howard Berman intervened. “You’re going to encourage him!” the California Democrat playfully warned.

as we look ahead to 2012... as we know ms. hillary did not simply luck into a cabinet position, then can we assume ms. hillary is not as upset about the call to audit the Fed as (((drumrolls)) :D .............the FED itself is?
 
It was a fake fucking meaningless compliment! Good god, get over it! I hope the rest of you aren't stupid enough to view Hillary in a more positive light because of it.

The fact that we have 13 pages of it shows that many posters here are TROLLS!!
 
nbhadja... if both dennis kucinich & ron paul get their audit of the FED done up a.s.a.p ... does this imply its because our potus can make political hay on how blindsided g.w bush was well into 2011? i took her ease and grace to be TIED into the 1207 thingie that is asking for an audit. she KNOWs its gonna take a while for obama's mistakes to equal those of thah SHRUB! i took her nice remark to imply she's still running for a loftier office!
