[quote=hooskins;314467]No he got the shaft because he is a racist P.O.S. He also dropped the N word frequently at UVa, and it was a big deal when that surfaced. Of course the sleaze denied it. It is just sad this kinda overt racism is even present in politics. Says something about the values of the Republican party and who they support.[/quote]
If it said so much for the republican party and who they support why then did he loose the election? If all the Rep. voted for him then he would have won with ease so your point make no sense at all.

[QUOTE=70Chip;314726]I have two questions. First, were we right to involve ourself in the European territorial dispute of the 1940s?

And second, when did we have troops stationed in Mecca?


Lastly. let me say that my experience with Republican isolationists like Ron Paul, or Pat Buchanan, or Bob Novak has been that they are mostly just good old fashioned anti-semites. I think they want to pull out of there because they would like to see the Jews driven into the sea.

This is in no way meant to throw an accusation like that at anyone here. I want to be perfectly clear about that. I'm not calling anyone an anti-semite in this forum. Unless Pat Buchanan is posting in which case I am.[/QUOTE]

That is why Ron Paul goes on the Daily Show and Bill Maher's show. Both are of Jewish descent.

The "I won't be in the same room with one" brand of anti-semitism is indeed rare now, at least compared with, say, 1907. The kind that Buchanan and his ilk suffer from is the kind that thinks a Jew would be unable to put the interests of the United States ahead of the interests of Israel - which is an ironic thing for a Roman Catholic like Buchanan or Novak to believe. They don't feel any ongoing hostility towards Jews but they are quite suspicious of them.

Just so people don't think I'm alone in this, here's a link I found in about 20 seconds:

what the hell was that last night? i tuned in to watch a debate, and ended up watching.... well i don't know what to call that

Yeah, there was something very strange about last night. For instance, Mitt Romney would never answer questions straight on regarding Iraq. Wolf had to keep rephrasing the question to get an answer.

I'm not sure if McCain did himself good or harm with his response on immigration. He comes accross like he has a chip on his shoulder....maybe it's just me though.

Ron Paul did draw some applause on his stance regarding the war. I'm just not sure he appeals to enough of the GOP base.

There is not a sinlge Rep candiate that is worth air right now. We are staring down at what could end up being the worst choice of Presidential candidates in history. Not one Dem or Rep has the voice and stature to do this job in my opinion. God help us.

Re: SGG's Pick the President Poll
 

Fred Thompson just might be the cure for the Repubs afterall.

You don't like any of the Dem candidates either, I take it?

I wouldn't mind seeing a Thompson v. Obama race. In all honesty, I know absolutely nothing about Thompson's politics, but I know he's well liked by Democrats and I'd like to see an end to this awful partisan politics.

I think if Thompson can get some momentum before the Summer's end, he could jump in the polls. The Republicans are in need of something fresh right now.

I think a Thompson/? v. Obama/Edwards race could be very likely.
